This blog will serve to archive my thoughts, feelings, perceptions (however biased), inquiries, brilliant research ideas, etc. regarding my Social Psychology course this semester. In order to provide a positive first impression (can you tell I just read Chapter 4?), I will share a little information about myself:
I am a Junior, Psychology major/Sociology minor at Southwestern University. As far as psych classes, I am currently taking Social Psych and Abnormal Psych, and they are pretty neck-and-neck for "heaviest courseload" and "most interesting".
I have a wonderful partner who supports me in all of my endeavors and whose only flaw is majoring in Sociology...just kidding!
We have 3 guinea pigs: Adam, Huxley, and Gumball,
And of course, Jack
This summer I interned at Hope Alliance, a center for survivors of domestic and sexual violence. It was a fantastic experience, and it opened my eyes to so many different career paths and options. I am mostly interested in social psychology and forensic psychology, and hope to one day find a career that utilizes both fields.
I took Research Methods last year. The first semester mostly consisted of British accents, CROL (Close Reading Of Leary), and cheez-its.
The second semester consisted of chaos, panic, and experiments on rats (of course yielding nonsignificant results...)
Despite the harrowing adventure that was Research Methods, I remain loyal to psychology and am looking forward to a great semester! Hope you enjoy my blog!
