Take the VIA Character Strength Test, Trust Me It's About You

How many trait characteristics traits do you know about yourself? I find that figuring out who am I as a person and why I am such a creative geek and a people person is a must learning experience that I need to discover my personal self a psychological understanding.

Finding the traits that you can work on a daily basis to evolve who you are is a key essential to your daily living for being you. Knowing who am I as a person from taking the VIA test opened up myself to what I am capable of the world, and what I need to work on for myself. I highly recommend for everyone to take the VIA Character Strength Test to determine the top ten qualities that makeup who they are as a character. The VIA test gives you twenty-five characteristics, ten being your greatest assets to you and the last fifteen character traits that apply to you only by a trickle. I took this test back in February to really dive deep on my personality. The top five that was brought up was creativity being my first, humor, kindness, social intelligence, and hope. Throughout each listing of a character, trait had my brain shook because it really framed my personality as a person.

The reason why I suggest this test to you because it creates a defining psychology analysis of you. These traits are what you present to others on a daily base. It can help determine what you are lacking in yourself and you can figure out ways to better yourself. Plus, you can build off of traits to seek more mind-fullness in your daily life. After taking the test that only takes a couple of minutes of your day, writes down an affirmation to you on those traits and reflects on how you use them day after day to improve as a person.

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.
