MBTI

When I finally got the results back from the MBTI test, I wasn't too surprised at the results. I didn't so much learn anything about myself as the test just clarified things about myself I already knew. Such as how strongly intorverted I am and that I'm pretty much right on the fence between sensing and intuition. Like I said I pretty much knew these things, the test just reinforced them. Something I did learn however was that my type (INTJ), is part of one of the smaller groups among the others. There's only three in the whole class for example. I don't really have much here, because I guess that's really all I learned since there really wasn't anything new to me.

My Bucket List

I'm not much of a person to look too far ahead in the future, I really do prefer to focus at what's going on in the present, but there are those things that I want to do sometime in the future. My bucket list for life past college and during college isn't very big, but there are some noteable things.
I've only been at Iowa State for what seems like a very short time, when acutally it's already almost been a fourth of the semester, but I have put together some things that I would definitely like to do in my time here.

First and foremost, I want to do well in my classes, so I can be a master at my area for when I go into a profession. I also want to stay here at Iowa State after my initial four years and earn my Master's degree because it will help me greatly in getting the job I desire and live the lifestyle I wish to lead.

Past the more obvious goal of doing well in my classes I wish to learn archery. Right now I'm not sure how well that will work out since I'm currently trying to decide on and balance various clubs, but archery will be high on my priority list.

Another goal and desire of mine, which can also apply to life past college, is to get to know more people and become more social because I confined myself to my friend circle in highschool and wasn't very open. I hope to change that at ISU and make more friends since there's so many more people here to meet.

So, that was a few of my goals here at ISU, but now I'll get on to the bigger picture goals.

My first goal is a pretty big one, and that is my career. I hope that after my education, and maybe a few internships, I can land a job designing hardware for computers, or designing computers in general. I'm not really sure for what company, I will come to that when Im out there looking for a job, but for now I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do.

Eventually, I want to have a family and a semi luxurious lifestyle. I haven't put a whole lot of thought into either of these, but I want it to be something like, have one child, so not a huge family. And I'd probably want a decent sized house with a large yard among other things.


I'll end this with one that I wasn't sure where to put in the list. I want to maybe learn how to play an instrument, namely the violin. I'd just have to get the money and time together to do it, hence why I didn't put it under my college list, but at the same time I didn't see it as a life goal either.

When I was at my best

A time that I was at my best was really a time when me and my team were all at there best. In high school I was a part of our IT club and was in the game design venue with my friends and some others in the team. The first year I was in on the team we didn't do a whole of work on our game til the last minute and it came out kind of bad when we took it to the IT competition that was held yearly at Hilton. But the next year we all planned to do better and work everyday at our IT meetings and even a little bit out of our own time. Throughout the school year we all worked very hard during our meetings and even worked outside of them. During this time we all worked on our respective parts, like one group worked on programming, one on design, etc. Me and a few others worked on the programming and I believe that during the whole school year of working on the game we all worked at our best and I even did little bit of leading the whole game design team with a few others so we could get everything coordinated. Unfortunately, despite all our hard work, we got a bad score on our game for the reason, and I kid you not, the game was too hard. But aside from the let down of our game scoring bad, the group and I worked very hard on the game and we knew it was good. If there's anything that I took away from this experience it was that no matter how hard something is, or no matter the outcome, you need to persist and do your best.
