14 Signs You are a Psychology Major

At most schools, psychology is one of the biggest departments. For some it's the major you picked because your advisor said to you, "you need to pick a major or else you won't graduate on time" or because you actually like psychology and have a interest for how the mind works. But for all psych majors you can all relate to these 14 things.

1. When you tell someone you are a psychology major and they say, “so you’re going to be a psychologist?”

NO, there are tons of things you can do with a psych major, NOT just being a psychologist!!

2. People always assume you are analyzing them.

Nope, we really aren’t. We don’t have time for that.

3. But at the same time we do psychoanalyze ourselves, our family, and close friends.


4. With that being said, you self diagnose yourself all the time.

5. And then your freak yourself out with said self diagnoses.


Which is exactly what your professor tells you NOT to do.


6. People come to you for advice because they think you know everything there is to know about the human psyche.

Guess what, no one really does, so what makes you think I do?


7. People assume it’s the easy major.


8. You totally and completely understand APA format.


9. You are a boss at statistics.


10. You have battled with SPSS all too many times.

But by the end of your college career you could do SPSS and Survey Monkey in your sleep.

11. Good luck finding a cute boy to date in the psych department.


12. You love being a part of and taking studies/surveys.

13. Personality tests are literally your best friend


14. You have read more journal articles in your college career then most probably ever will.


For you just to read the article not to use in it your paper.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
