Quote of the day, "This is your future, your life basically."
This was said by a member of psi chi today when discussing grad school options for psych majors. It was pretty rough hearing this because this means that whatever we choose to do after our undergrad careers can break us. If we choose the wrong thing, then we essentially are ruining our lives. That is not a good feeling at all! Its nerve wracking thinking that I have to make the right decision. I honestly feel that my 21 year old mind in the future, will not be able to make a life decision. There are not enough shower times to help me decide to go to grad school right after or take a break in between. Its crazy knowing that can change my life just that one choice. I started to have a freakout that i have to connect with other professors in the psych department, I have to get connected with the right people, start volunteering in hospitals, get internships with psych people OMG!!! I can barely decide what I want to eat for dinner. I know i have the passion to do psych but how can i show that to people who are in the admissions department for grad school?!
Of course, y'all know its Criminal Minds Wednesday. I have been counting down this moment since Criminal Minds ended last week. Too bad this week it premiers at 10pm. Thats my bedtime! Just kidding, but it is the time i start to doze off because Im tired. The promo is so good too..."It only took 4 mins to kidnap this little girl..now the team has 24 hours to save her!!!" AHHH!!! I cant handle the excitement rushing through my veins !
So I'm taking my english class online this semester just like I'm taking my social media class online. It's so funny that my assignment this week was to analyze an article written by Zadie Smith about the "Facebook generation." I had so much to say about this because of my social media class. This article basically stated everything that Turkle pointed out in her video. I truly believe that social media changes the state of mind psychologically. For example, my friend who was depressed for a while did not portray that online. Instead, she posted happy posts and pictures of her smiling. Later on, she changed her state of mind and got out of that depression. Simply because online her persona was a happier person than she really was, which got her to change her state of mind. Maybe its just me and wanting to make that connection to psychology...i dont know. But thats just me.
All right guys that is all I have to say. Stay tuned and remember be nice to people, smile and Good night! (even though its only 6pm...)
