​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.

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.
