MBTI

Honestly, I wasn't surprised what I got with the MBTI. I had taken a class last year where we were required to take this. Therefore, I already knew what the result was. We had to Analysis our results then and look at how our results showed how we dealt with different situations. We didn’t look at how we learn but it is similar to how we deal with difficult situations. Therefore, I hadn’t found an aspect of my personality that I had not thought about. These results can relate to my goals by how I pursue them. By being an E, I am energized when others are also reaching my goal. I can stay that it is true. I have recently started training for a marathon because I have a friend that wants to do the same. With both of us working towards the same goal, we are more likely to reach it. Being an F, I am more likely to make goals that are based on my personal decisions and be more of what will help me grow personally. However, being a J, it could also cause some delay in reaching for my goals. That is because I like things being orderly in life and I don’t like change as much. Each of us have obstacles we have to get over so we reach our goals. Knowing our MBTI will help everyone of us know what steps we need to take to make our goals become reality.

 

I hope that by knowing what type of personality we are, each of us will be able to overcome our personal obstacles so we can each reach our goals.

 

My Life and Cyclone Bucket Lists

Everyone has a certain idea of what they would love to do before they die.  While some are crazy, wild adventures, others are more mild and calm events.  Mine are more calm.  While I would like to go sky diving sometime or climb up the Rocky Mountains, most of the items on my bucket list aren't that crazy.  I simply, like every other girl, want to get married, have kids, and live happily ever after with the love of my life. 

Sure, I want to have a good career but I honestly can't tell you what that career will be.  I feel that I am at a stage in my life that I don't really know what I want to do and so therefore, can't make a good guess on how far I want to make it in whatever professional field I choose.  I want to be able to live comfortably with whatever career path I choose.  By living comforably, I will be able to help others financially as well.  Because of my family's past experience with the Make-A-Wish foundation, I want to be able to donate money to make atleast one child's wish come true.

On a different note, I really want to run a marathon before I die.  I love running and have only ran a 10K before.  I don't want to run the Boston Marathon, just a local one like the breast cancer race that is held in Des Moines every year.  I love to exercise and it is my hope that I can stay in shape for the rest of my life.

I would love to go on a Banhama cruise.  Some friends of mine went together and had a blast!  I would love to be able to got some place like that for a while and enjoy an environment that I have never been too!

Speaking of trips, my final item on my bucket list is that I want to go backpacking through Europe.  The pictures from over there look beautiful and I would love to go see all of the countryside.  I am a huge fan of history and, of course, Europe is full of history!  I would love to be able to take in all of the amazing historical events and places that are over there.

My Cyclone bucket list is sort of similar to parts of my other bucket list.

I want to do the Iowa State version of a triathlon.  I enjoy biking, running, and swimming and it would be awesome if I was able to do all three in the same race.  I know it is not as impressive as the Iron Man but I would be so proud of myself knowing that all of the training and working out helped me reach my goal of completing the race.

I want to help out children that are sick.  I plan on doing this by sometime, joining the Dance Marathon where I would raise money for a children's hospital.  I would also get to meet and interact with sick children which is something I enjoy doing.  I love seeing their strength that they have gained during their time of being sick and I hope that before I leave college I will get to join a cause that will help them feel better.

As cheesy as this sounds, I want to kiss my boyfriend under the campanile.  I know, I know, it sounds super cheesy but it is just something I would love to do.  I don't get to see my boyfriend very much and doing something like that would be memorable and really romantic!

My final thing on my Cyclone bucket list is to learn something new.  Not just educational but a new sport or hobby.  I want to be able to broaden my mind and learn something that I would enjoy doing even after I have left college.  I believe that we should take the most out of college that we can get and I feel that if I learn something that I will take with me out of college and do it later in life, I have taken as much out of college as I could.
