As a student, chances are you’re juggling a variety of deadlines and commitments—and that little thing called your life. We’ve been conditioned to think that multitasking can help us get more done in less time, and thanks to the ease of navigating between various pages, tabs, and apps on our devices, we can fall into the trap of thinking we’re actually accomplishing more in less time.

You probably use emoji in your text messages and social media posts, but have you ever stopped and thought about what clues those little icons might hold about your personality?

History is often reduced to a handful of memorable moments and events.  In Black history, those events often include courageous stories like those of The Underground Railroad and historic moments like the famous “I Have a Dream” speech by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But these are only a few of the significant and important events to know and remember.

We all want to be understood, and it can be so frustrating when it feels like what we’re saying falls on deaf ears. Have you ever tried to communicate something important to a colleague, classmate, supervisor, and family member, only to feel as if you’re not getting through?

It turns out that someone’s personality type factors into how we should frame our message. The way we approach an Optimist, for example, is very different from how we should talk to a Problem Solver.
