Back to school Bird
Had to make a college bird because I’m overwhelmed with the get-my-child-to-college-and-not-forget-anything preparations. Oh my, lots goes into getting these young people set up especially if they are going away to school.
It is fun when I get to pick the color of her tee.
I’d like to find a backpack with this design! Haha
Keira……the college freshman. It’s her first day of classes and she thought she’d get lost on campus, but she surprised herself and made it to each class on time. She even met some other nice students. She is loving this new freedom. She has to fight the urge to facebook friend request everyone she meets. Otherwise, she won’t get any studying done…..we can only hope!
So much is going on with this age group isn’t there? They’re learning how to be independent, manage money, and listening to lectures in some classrooms with over a 100 students. Easy to feel invisible. But they’ll probably learn more about themselves and people in these 4 years than ever before.
I approached my daughter last week and asked her to take that Myers-Briggs personality test so that I can figure her out better (yeah….right!). But she couldn’t be bothered. If you’re interested here’s the free on-line test, it’s only about 70 questions, took me less than 5 minutes to take. I came out as an INTJ. I think this stuff is fun. Have you taken this type of test and what are your thoughts?
This is wonderful. Also, it is raining in Iowa for the first time in weeks. I was suppose to golf but I will take the test instead!
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm an INFJ! Love the birdie picture! I have a WIP on my latest post too if you want to take a peek! Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteI Love Keira! I have tried taking the Briggs test a zillion times but I get really caught up in how I think I am vs. how I *really* am. For instance, I feel like I a tremendous "planner" which is linked to my neat-nik habits and my love for organization, yet I prefer to do things (like go to the movies with my family, go on an adventure) spontaneously because I get anxious about the details if I *do* plan things like that. Does that make any sense?
ReplyDeleteyour birdies are a colorful tribute to your college girl's first day at school! i sure hope she's carrying a cool backpack like your keira-birdie! (you always design the hippest stuff for your birdies!!). xox
ReplyDeleteyep, i've taken it a few times for work. I'm always a solid ISFJ!
