You know how during your junior year in high school everyone starts asking you what your major will be in college. Well, I knew mine right off of the bat, Psychology. The thing was, I wanted to do something with the government having to do with criminals. So then people started to confuse me and I mistakenly started off my first year of college majoring in Sociology. Well shortly into my second semester I realized that I was most definitely in the wrong major. I wanted to know about people's brains and how mental processes connect to crimes, not the influence on the society. So, what did I do? I changed to Psychology and it was the best decision I could have ever made.
I could instantly tell my love for the major with the first classes I took. The work seemed almost effortless to me. Yes, I actually enjoyed writing those APA papers and doing the research needed to pass the classes. It also helps with the fact that the Psychology staff here at Lander University are beyond great professors and easy and fun to work with! Another thing that really helps is the fact that the other people in my major are just as excited about it and we connect well with one another. There's nothing like the feeling of knowing you belong somewhere simply by having a five-minute conversation with the student sitting next to you.
Now I know many people are probably wondering what I could possibly be planning to do with a degree in Psychology. Well, I'm actually minoring in Criminal Justice as well. What does that have to do with anything? Well, the combination of my education will allow me to qualify for jobs within the government such as working with the BAU as a criminal profiler. Of course, I'll need to further my education first, which I do indeed plan on getting my doctorates degree.
The purpose of me telling you all of this, is I'm hoping that you either will feel the same way about your major or that if you are still considering one, you will choose Psychology! When you make your choice of what you want to major in, make sure you pick something that your gonna fall in love with!
