“Describe yourself in one word” was the prompt given to the IUP Her Campus members last semester. It’s not as easy as it sounds. Some sat there stumped while others had difficulty choosing only one word. Even though I was the one to come up with the question, I too had trouble answering it.
So often, people tend to view themselves negatively because of the pressure put on us from the media and society. My goal of asking the members this question was to get them to think of themselves in a positive light.
Here are the words they chose along with a description as to why they feel the word best describes them.
