​Reasons to Befriend a Psychology Major
Amanda Redman

Sometimes you can get annoyed with a Psychology major. Probably because all you hear them say is, “How does that make you feel,” or, “Please, tell me more,” as sarcastically as possible because they don’t have a degree yet. Yes the key word is, “yet.” Being a Psych major myself, here are some reasons I feel you too, can befriend a Psychology major.

Class wise, they can help!

Is this your first time taking a Psych course outside your major? NO PROBLEM! They had to take these classes and remember EVERYTHING! Textbook needed? They can let you borrow theirs because they have to keep them forever!

Most of their views are important.

Their views outside the Psych classes in particular can be valued for most items you hear on the news or read in the newspaper. If you do read a blog based on a psychological view of different things using their theories they learned in classes they took to connect to the real world, you can really tell they take their major seriously!

They read you like a book.

You may have a problem you really don’t want to tell them, but right away they know something is up and that you’re really not okay! Even the simplest of tone of voice and body language can help them read you like a book.

They are LITERALLY there for you!

Not because they are the Psych major they are, but it’s because they are your friend! Some friends will just push you off the wagon and not want to listen to you vent. That’s the whole reason they went into Psychology, to hear others vent!

Psych majors aren’t just all about the theories, they are all about helping others. No matter what specific part of Psychology they want to go into, they will always want to help their friend. If you’re already friends with a Psychology major, then do thank them dearly. If not, then you are completely missing out.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
