I’m so excited to sit next to him. I haven’t spoken to my friend in weeks. Now, for a lecture, I snag the seat beside him. I can’t wait to catch up and hear how he’s doing. But once the lecture concludes, he grabs his things and leaves. I’m left with my mouth open. Like a codfish. What’s up with him? So I text him: … Continue reading Why I Hate Personality Tests
Earlier this week, I blogged on sanfordcoffee.com about how volunteering for Palate Coffee Brewery improved my confidence. And I wanted to go further into something. Particularly about how it’s been a pattern in my life to hear people say: “Rachel, you don’t talk much.” Honestly, I hear that ALL the time.

“May God bless you,’ the old lady told me. As she walked away, I exchanged a look with my dad, a look that read: That was weird. I’ve said this before in my blog. For most of my life, I grew up in a Christian Reformed Church—think hymns, creeds, pastors in long robes, Dutch Calvinists—and until going to college and transitioning to an expressive evangelical … Continue reading You Sound Like An Atheist
When I took my first personality test and found out my result, I did not expect an ego-boost. I was morbidly curious and assumed that the test would be horribly wrong, awkwardly flattering and I would have a good laugh with my friend about it. Reading about my personality type INFJ was…surprisingly affirming. “I’m just a rare and complex personality type,” I will jokingly explain to my friends who … Continue reading Don’t Care, I’m Rare, Deal with it
