An Open Letter From An ENFP
Peigh Manry

Hi.

I am an ENFP.

I'm a weird lil bean. Sometimes I have too much enthusiasm for my own good. Sometimes I get a little loud. Sometimes I go overboard with the energy, and I can't help it. I just want everyone to be happy!

I live for human connection.

Listening is something that I enjoy greatly-- I love getting to know people better. Tell me about that festival you went to last year, or about the time where a random stranger proposed to you in a Chick Fil' A. That story about that time you went to a cat shelter and petted kittens for an hour? Not even a little boring! ENFP's are curious individuals and genuinely want to know the 4-1-1, whether or not it's juicy.

I'm a worrywart. I worry about everything, from stressing too much about whether or not I turned off the stove this morning, to how my uncle is doing back home. I overanalyze every single text-- I get paranoid over someone's tone of voice, and sometimes even the kind of emojis they use. I have a big heart, and occasionally it backfires on me, but that's okay. Sometimes things just don't work out the way we want them to.

We are fiercely independent individuals, which is a problem sometimes because I have trouble opening up to people. It's mostly my own fault really-- many a time I've set my expectations too high and end up disappointing myself. Being independent also means that I'm extremely adaptable, therefore moving from one side of the globe to settling down in the other was a walk in the park.

I am a searcher. One of many. We are never fully content because we constantly wonder about what else is out there, and how far the potential of the universe can soar. I aspire to be a giver-- a giver of love, a giver of good vibes, and a giver of strength. I am inspired to inspire. My sadness is a factor in my life just as present as my happiness is, because I believe that a grey sky is just as important as a clear blue one. We strive to help ourselves as well as everyone else to embrace the quirkiness life brings, and mostly-- we want to love and be loved.

Come ask me where my joy comes from.

Love,

Me

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
