What's Your Type?

I was scoping the web for something interesting to write about when I came across “What’s Your Type?” on Oprah’s website. I set aside my intended goal for the blog and indulged in a little quiz. Sure, I’d want to find out what type I am, whatever ‘type’ means, and plus it would be a fun homework break.

 As I was answering questions about what I would do in each situation, a thought came into my head: Do I really know who I am? I would usually confidently say ‘yes of course’ and dismiss the subject. Always acting so sure of myself especially in high school, I never really thought about how lost I am. But, thinking back of all the horoscopes, questionnaires, and personality tests I have done in a time of boredom proves otherwise. I don’t know who I am or what I want in actuality. Maybe what I want isn’t the best for me or I am not fulfilling my potential.

 All of these unattractive, annoying feelings permeated through whatever pores were not occupied into my brain for serious contemplation. College and the ‘American dream’ in general sets standards so high for what you could accomplish if you just tried hard enough.                                 

 Assuming many other proud college students could feel the same way, I found it to be an interesting yet vulnerable inquiry. We know generally what we want… success, family, friends, wealth, happiness, and a great job; but the problem lies in the confusion of how to get there or if we are doing all we can to get it in these pertinent years of learning.

 

I’ve lowered myself to have an Oprah questionnaire tell me what I am today, a little incite for the craziness of the day.

I'm the EXPLORER!!! I guess that's cool

Although, I do know that taking time to oneself to reflect, plan, and relax allows room for contemplating these issues and gaining a sense of direction.
