Student Classification Essay #2 |

Chewy yet easy to swallow, cheap yet treated like a delicacy, sweet yet containing a certain amount of tang, all in all making them the greatest candy on the earth; Starburst fruit chews are my favorite candy. They seem very popular with everyone I know, including the girls on my dance team. Through my day to day observations at Dance Camp, I discovered a strange notion about this sweet treat. My squad is very opinionated about what is the best flavor of this candy . Also in my not- so- scientific studies, I perceived that certain girls with similar personality types tended to choose the same flavor. All of this data has influenced me to make a personality blueprint test based on an individual’s preferred flavor of Starburst .
On the third floor of Plainsmen Hallat Nebraska Wesleyan University, fellow squad members roamed aimlessly from room to room stopping by to chat with each other about the current squad crisis. On my gooey desk in my sizzling hot dorm room sat an open bag of Starbursts. The wandering dames proceeded to: enter my room, babble for a few seconds, inform me of some pointless occurrence, then help themselves to my candy.
The individuals whom I noticed digging through the bag in hopes of finding a cherry chew were the types of girls who simultaneously have numerous boyfriends and tend to break curfew. They are the wild, crazy, free spirited gals of the group; they are extremely comfortable in their own skin. They are the girls that other people love to be around, but can’t conceive of how they live the way they do. The cherry girls tend to be slightly immature and have the mentality of a stereotypical cheerleader. Maybe they prefer the zip and excitement of the cherry flavoring, or maybe it’s simply something in the "red dye #40."
The dancers who preferred lemon flavoring are the types of girls who maintain 4.0 grade point averages and have never done anything illegal in their lives. They are the types of girls who are president of National Honors Society and who never skip a Sunday Mass. The lemon girls are most likely to have a conflict with the cherry girls because they are exactly opposite. I can see that the lemon girls are proud of who they are, but at times they envy the cherry girls. Both the cherry and the lemon girls have strong personalities. In life the cherries and the lemons need to be kept separate in order to prevent World War III.
The poor souls who selected orange Starburst are the types of girls that people feel guilty about when they don’t invite them to their party, but soon realize how much fun it will be without them there. The orange girls are the types of girls who don’t really know who they are yet; they are struggling with their teenage years. They tend to follow others, never really have an opinion on anything or standing up for any certain cause. I noticed that the orange girls have some characteristics of both the cherry and the lemon but aren’t quite either. Unlike the strong personalities of the cherry and the lemon girls, the orange girls are weak and can easily be taken advantage of. People will need to watch out for these girls throughout their lives to insure that they don’t get forgotten about.
Strawberry girls are the types of girls that people want their sons to get married to. They are the biggest sweethearts in the world, yet don’t realize it. Animals and children love them, and they don’t have a hateful bone in their body. They are the girls who will grow up to be Dental Hygienists, Kindergarten teachers, or Pediatricians. They are well respected by all and when they are around, people act as though there is a nun in the room. They are Harvest Of Harmony Queens and Brownie Troop leaders. Strawberry girls will make great mothers because of their tendency to nurture all. All flavors of people could benefit from becoming a little more like the strawberry girls.
Not everyone fits into one or even two flavors, some might be strawberry-orange or any other combination. I recently found out that there is a new apple flavored Starburst, it looks like I have some more observing to do. But I do know that I can figure out plenty of information about a person by simply observing them eating Starbursts. I would advise people on their first dates to share a package of Starbursts. After discovering the results they can decide if they want to even waste their time or money on dinner. The Starburst personality blueprint test never fails.
