Personality

Are you like me? do you like to take some of the many, many personality tests that are online every-now-and-then? I took one today, and it really hit home. 

So all it took was some yes-no-maybe answers to some questions and BOOM there you are or your personality. Right in front of you, written in paragraphs. So neat and directly explained who you are, what personality traits you have and what that means. I found about this test through a friend from school, so I ventured in to the world of Google and found the same test on Similarminds.com.
Basically all you do is type in your gender and then you say if the statements were very inaccurate to very accurate. Don't worry, there are only about 50 statements to answer and it won't take long.

I - for some reason -  really like these kinds of test. Sometimes they are spot on and other times they're far off. On the test I took today I was told that I had an ISFJ personality. It was quite a long read so I won't bore you with the details, but I found it to be pretty accurate. ISFJs - also called The Nurtures - told me this as some sort of a summary:


Dominant: Introverted Sensing
Auxiliary: Extraverted Feeling
Tertiary: Introverted Thinking
Inferior: Extraverted Intuition

Not that I think this will tell you anything, but I found it to be quite interesting. 
It's not that I expect to get anything out of these sorts of tests, they're online and not really that trustworthy but still. I don't really know how to explain my fascination for it, but some of you might now what I'm talking about. 

Well, Hope to see your lovely faces soon, Love CJ.

Roommate Problems

If you have ever lived with someone who you are not related odds are you know exactly what I'm talking about. 

At the beginning it was fine. We had been friends in high school and living together seemed like it wouldn't be a problem. Two friends living together? Bet you've never heard that go wrong now, have you. When we first moved in at the beginning of August 2013 it seemed like everything would be fine, we knew each others pressure point, what to do and what not to do. We agreed on what parts of the apartment we would be "responsible" for. She took the bathroom and I took the kitchen and we had our own bedrooms to attend to as well. 

So what problems I'm talking about?

Like I said if you have ever had a roommate you know what I'm talking about.  You get comfortable, sloppy and annoying. I like to think of my self as a clean person. I like the kitchen to look a certain way and that goes for the bathroom as well. To me these spaces are for the both of us and therefor they should be clean! I don't care about how messy her room is or how messy mine is, because this is personal space. The kitchen is a place to eat, not to leave you filthy dishes in the sink for 24 hours waiting or hoping that I will do you dirty work for you.
When I make dinner I like to clean up as soon as I'm done eating. Call my crazy but I'd rather not have food all over the counter for hours later.
Without getting in to much detail, it's safe to say that I'm pretty happy we're moving out in about two months. There are times when I don't want to go out of my room of I hear the she is out of hers, just because I don't want to talk to her. That how much she annoys me these days. 

But not everything is bad.

We were friends for about three years prior to this. She was my best friend though-out three years of High school and I find it hard to believe that three years of friendship is gone because of this. I hope that when we move to the US we'll stay in touch no matter where we end up. If she goes to one coast and I the other, so be it. I still care for my friend and can only hope that things will get better when we get some time apart, but i honestly don1t know if it will. We have changed so much since we got here, and I don't think that we are compatible anymore. Time will tell I guess. 


Hope to see all your lovely faces soon, Love CJ

PS: Sorry for the rant. We all need to get things off our chest sometimes, right?

College Choices

College Choices

Like I told you in my last post, I'm moving to the States and with this move comes college. 

I have chosen to apply to two different schools: Adelphi University and University of Arizona. Both good schools and both in areas that I could see myself live in. I already have some friends at Adelphi. They went at my current school, and it would be great to see them again! However Me + snow = no no.. If the opportunity to attend UofA, I'll take it without a doubt. I don't know anyone there with the exaction of one friend that is also applying there, but I think that gives me something that I long for. Something completely, absolutely and terrifyingly new. New people in the desert sounds like something I'd like. 

You see, i have this thing with cold. I DON'T LIKE IT and it does not like me. I will never forget the winter of 2010 because I was so cold in the morning that I had to use the hairdryer to warm my clothes while standing by the oven with my cover (or duvet..) wrap tight around my and my pyjamas. It was horrible. 

So the desert is very tempting not going to deny that. Just to show you what UofA looks like 
(yes, I googled it)
I don't know about you but I'm sold! It's not that Adelphi (the school in New York) isn't good because it really is. The campus - or at least what I've seen and heard of it - looks amazing and let's now forget it is only a forty minute train ride to Manhattan. 
(Googled did this to)
I must seem like a very indecisive person and that is not really the case, but when it comes to choosing between the two I find it very hard. This will hopefully be the place that i will call home for the next few year and it is very important to my that I think about this and go back and fourth like I have. I have so many people telling me what all the pro's and con's are, and I really want to make the best choice possible for me so I take all the advice I can get.

Until the Next Time I See Your Lovely Face, Love CJ

Here We Go

Hello! I'm not going to tell you much about my self in this post (I like a bit of mystery), but I will tell you why I created this blog.

This whole idea came dawning on me while I was watching a movie in my bedroom. I starter to think about my life and how much it is going to change in these next months, and that I wanted to have a space where I could write down all the things that happen. I - like so many others in this world- have a need to express myself however i have difficulty doing so. While browsing the World Wide Web I made the decision of making this blog to see if this is for me. I might forget about it now and then and I'll play around with different things like style and content for a while (mostly because I think that kind of stuff is a lot of fun) but I have to start somewhere! 


WAIT! why is my life going to change in the upcoming months? 

Well I'm packing my bags, crossing the Atlantic ocean and moving the the United States of America. I know that there a plenty of these kinds of blogs on the internet, but i always enjoyed reading them and figured maybe someone will enjoy reading mine. At the moment I don't know what state I will be moving to this fall, but I have narrowed it down to either New York or Arizona but for now that's all I know. 

I'll end this here (for now) however I will be seeing you again shortly and hopefully this will be as fun for you as it will be for me! 

See your lovely face soon, Love CJ
