Finals are coming all too soon and we'll all be living on a steady diet of coffee, Mountain Dew, and flex meals from the Muskie Mart. Sleepless nights and weekend powernaps, all the realities of a college student during finals. I want to apologize to my fellow classmates for not appearing at the...

It seemed to me like a lot of the questions were very similar. It is a little overwhelming because there are so many questions. It is hard to focus. I tried to go through the test rather quickly, but on some questions, I second-guessed myself. I think I thought too deeply into some of the questions and switched the meaning from what was...

I think that for the most part that at the age of 18 if you arent aware of what your greatest strengths are then you are still working at mcdonalds. All of my pissing and moaning aside once i was done with this test it told me my strongest strength was that of humor and...

Our teacher had asked us to take our own personality tests online to see what the conclusions were. When I looked over the sheet I was surprised how many different outcomes there were. I was pretty sure that my personality was going...

As you notice, like my other classmates, I too took the VIA strengths survey (because it was assigned to us). To be honest, at first when I found out it was 240 questions (yes, 240 questions), I thought this was just some oversized www.blogthings.com survey that's not going to amount to anything but telling me...

We were to circle one of the 24 strenghts that we believed was our strongest strength before we took the test. The one that i circled was #16, kindness and generosity. This actually ended up being my second strength after taking the survey. My top strength was capacity to...

There's a few songs that mean something to me, and I will talk about 2 of them (one more in depth than the other). The first song is "Amazing Grace". I just always liked the song, but I don't know why. Now everytime I hear it, I cry. It was the song played at my...

When taking the surveys, I wonder how those questions will determine the results. Some of the questions are difficult to answer, especially with the options of answers available. After taking the survey, these 5 strengths were my top strengths: 1)Spirituality, sense of...

It is very hard to pinpoint where it comes from and how peole in the world today can become happier. After all the studies done by philosophers we are still unable to define happiness as a whole. After all the things we have talked about in class to understand happiness, I still find it hard to see what happiness is. I have always...
