Year: 2017

If you don’t know what your dream job is yet, you’re probably a multipotentialite.

Everyone has been asked, what do you want to be when you grow up? When you’re young you don’t have a problem answering the question because you say anything that comes to your mind. Once you’re older you begin to feel more and more pressure to have an answer to the question. You begin to have anxiety because you’re still trying to figure out your dream career is at 25 years old.

If you’re still trying to decide what you want to be, you’re probably a multipotentialite. What is a multipotentialite? It describes someone with many interest and creativity who doesn’t know how to combine their interests. Being a multipotentialite comes with advantages like an idea synthesis, combining two or more fields together to creating something new at the intersection; Rapid learning, not being afraid to take on new challenges; and adaptability, the ability to change into whatever you need to be in any given situation.

Fall Makeup

While bright colored makeup is worn during the Summer and Spring, this is the time to tone it down. For eyeshadow you could never go wrong with a smokey eye or different shades or brown.

The latest trend is orange eyeshadow with a nude lipgloss or a clear gloss. Some people even get matching orange lipstick for a bolder look. On a regular Fall day you’ll see most females wearing darker lipstick shades. Mainly colors like Burgundy, Brown and Red.

You are not your adjectives

Brian Little, the personality psychologist and TED talker starts off with a juxtaposition query: how are we similar to one another, yet unique to ourselves? While he lets the question linger in the minds of his audience, he begins to talk about trait theory and its following characteristics: openness,consciousness, extraversion, agreeable and neurotic. He explains that these traits are implications of our beings, where we usually divide ourselves as being either an extrovert or the introvert. The extrovert being the outgoing, overtly expressive individual who is triggered by stimulation while the introvert is the antithesis that tends to reduce stimulation. Little, however, mentions the two contradicting characters only to add elements of gray to our character so that we no longer see ourselves in a black and white manner.

While Little further peaks the audience interest when mentioning that extroverts tend to have more sex (where a couple of extroverts in the crowds surely had a smirk on their face and may even gave one another a high-five for their possible characteristic accomplishment) he reminds the crowd that they are not just a bunch of traits. “We are not simply categorized.” How could we be when we occasionally act out of character? Little mentions that these free traits–where we begin to act out of our expected character due to circumstances–is a nod towards our humanity and less towards a simplistic characterization. Rather than condense our humanity into traits and descriptions, he says that people asking one what their core projects in life are in contrast to what kind of person they are may help in blurring the lines between man and the adjectives attached to us.

THE 50-20-30 RULE TO BUDGETING

The biggest pain point with managing finances for most people tends to be sticking to your budget. You may notice that some months you have no clue where your money went. In other cases, you constantly have more month than money. A huge part of the problem is the lack of control that you have over your money. In these cases your money is running you, not the other way around. Budgeting doesn’t have to be difficult and if it is for you, then the 50-20-30 rule to budgeting is for you.
