12 Undeniable Ways You Know You're A Psych Major

We're SICK and TIRED of hearing if we want to be therapists or counselors. There are WAY more careers than those two. Just saying.

12 Undeniable Ways You Know You're A Psych Major
Galined

Here are a few things Psych majors have experienced, have gotten annoyed by, and have heard throughout their education:

1. Diagnosing people and yourself in your mind even though your teachers told you not to.

Guilty of this...

2. How your friends, family members, and pets feel after they come to you for a venting session/advice:

It is a blessing and a curse.

3. When you have a headache, so you try to figure which part of the brain is affected/hurts

I do this more than I should.

4. You feel blessed that you have the knowledge and compassion to help and understand others

Psych majors will make a difference in the future!

5. Taking personality tests during the free time (Thank you, Buzzfeed!)

Q: "What Is Your Secret Personality Type Based On The Colors You See?"

6. You're up for 3 days completing a 15-page research paper.

What is sleep? What are bags? Psych majors may never know *Tootsie Roll Narrator voice*

7. When you still have to know Stats and take Biology courses.

I would much rather compete in the heptathlon than to know stats.

8. Hearing "Psychology is an easy major"

Psychologists have to obviously obtain their bachelor's to then move on to their master's to then get their Ph.D. or Psy.D, which involves a lot of schooling... Oh and hey what a surprise: Medical school. So yes, psychologist, psychiatrists, neurologists, etc are REAL doctors. You don't have to practice medicine just to be a doctor---This is really a brief, but please do some research before you speak.

-Sincerely, all psych majors

9. You have a passion for theories and how cool they are!

There are just so many wonderful theories out there!!!!

10. You're tired of hearing "psychology is a tough field to get into and it is hard to get a job with only a bachelor's."

No shit, Sherlock. Let me be happy. Ok? I'm the one who is getting the degree in. Not you.

11. You get this reaction when you use certain terms.

I am guilty of this when I talk about certain theories (and what it does) and brain parts/functions.

12. You love your major regardless of what people say. *flips hair*

Do you boo! Do you!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
