10 Things All Psychology Majors Know Too Well
Power Of Positivity

Psychology is a beautiful thing to study. Being able to help people the way psychology majors go on to do is such a rewarding work. Though we're very confident in our field, we tend to have some...well..interesting feedback. Psychology majors know these things and common responses way too well..

1. Freud and Freud jokes.

2. Stop reading me/Stop trying to read my mind


3. So you want to just listen to people talk all the time? Like a therapist?

Yes, because that's the only thing I can do with my degree.


4. So one day you'll fix our whole family! You'll never go out of business!

5. When someone says: "That's such a basic major, you're such a white girl." And your face is just like...

6. You'll never make any money unless you go to grad school

WOW. U KNO SO MUC BOT PsYCholoGy.

7. You watch movies, especially scary movies about murder, and wonder "What made them do that..?'

Instead of the normal "OH MY GOSH HE'S CRAZY."


8. A Beautiful Mind is one of the BEST movies, like ever..


and 50 first dates is low-key one of your faves too.




9. Finding out you have to write a paper..because..APA...UGH.



10. "What are you studying?"

"Psychology!"

"Oh really? Read my mind then.."


But at the end of the day, you know your major is amazing, and that one day you'll be making a difference, in whatever way you choose. In the end, all these comments are totally worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
