Help for the Myers-Briggs Addict
http://foreverfinancialfreedom.blogspot.com

We all have one in our life. A Myers-Briggs addict. They come in many different packages and many different walks of life. They live every day in a struggle they frankly think is normal and healthy. It's not. It's mildly oppressive and uncomfortable. They start to analyze all the minute they meet people. They use Myers-Briggs as ice breakers with potential romantic partners. This is why we need to help them. Here is the guide to helping the Myers-Briggs addict in your life.

1. Take on Multiple Personalities to Confuse Them

Really overwhelm them with too many different personalities coming out of one person. Make them question everything and really not be able to understand what is going on. This will show them living a life based on a set of four letters is really a life that makes everyone around them want to scream.

2. Help Them Realize People Can't Be Defined by a Test

Make them visit some far out mystical taoist monastery or something and make them start to think the world is actually one giant related sphere or whatever works. Then get some tie dye together and maybe listen to the Grateful Dead.

3. Help Them Get an Actual Psychology Degree

You could also educated them in something that is accredited. That works too.

4. Make Them Write the Word Ambivert 1,000 Times

Really break a true Myers-Briggs addict by making them realize people can shift based on the situation through the word ambivert. Chanting also can work when pen and paper are not available.

5. Get Your Pavlov On

Maybe every time they say "I think they're an INFJ" you press a lego into his or her foot, or every time they refuse to analyze a personality you give him or her a small piece of sponge candy. It really doesn't matter, just condition him or her to think of something else as the go to party ice breaker.

6. Make Them Meet Interesting People And Force Them to Not Analyze Their Personality

To know you've truly helped the addict, you take him or her to a party or event filled with interesting people. Let's say something with strong personalities, like an art opening. Then, you put your recovering addict to the test. Can he or she go the night without bringing up personality theory? This is the last step. Once this is accomplished you have affectively rehabilitated a Myers-Briggs addict.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
