is actually a lot harder than I expected! I don't know why I expected it to be easy. Psychology is probably one of the most complex sciences on the face of the planet.


BUT, I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE it!!! I knew I would like it but I had no idea I would like it so much. Its extremely interesting and I am learning SO much... about my life, about the type of person I am, about how to be a better "critical thinker", about society, about everything!

This is definitely something that I want to know more about. I'm only required to take one class for my nursing degree but I think I may have to find out what other classes like this are available. I'm totally diggin it!


One of the most important things I've learned from it and something I am changing about myself because of it is that simplying saying "Its just my opinion and nothing is going to change it" is the lazy person's excuse to not doing research and not fully exploring WHY they feel that way. I am soooo soooo guilty of this. I can't count how many times I said "Its just my opinion and thats just how it is" or something along those lines. I now know that I should research things a lot better before coming to a conclusion about why and how I feel about certain things. I might actually feel differently than I think and totally surprise myself :D

I'm glad that you are enjoying it so much. It is interesting. Can you use more Psych for electives in your degree?

I liked my psychology class too. I think understanding and being able to discuss why you feel a certain way is great.

Just regular Psychology (PSY 121)! Its like the intro to Psych, I guess.

The class has inspired me to do a lot of research on a lot of things. I'm starting to question myself on a few things :nutts

that is awesome, when i took 101 i just fell in love with the subject matter, it really makes you think. I am glad you are enjoying it! I might just have to hit you up for some opinions/help this semester!:)
