If you have ever taken a psychology class in high school one thing you often learn about is color in psychology. When you first learn about it, it's actually really amazing. Suddenly, you realize you're angry or upset when you wear a certain color. It almost helps you understand yourself at a whole new level. So now that your reading that color has an influence on your emotions, I bet you're wondering, "How?". Here are 5 colors and what they mean when you wear them. Also, at the end of this article, there is a video to watch if you wish to learn more! Also, read more at http://www.colour-affects.co.uk/psychological-prop...


1. Red

Often times we associate the color "red" with "love" or a more romantic color, but that's actually incorrect. Red is the color of aggression and anger. It can also be associated with excitement!

2. Yellow

Yellow is the color of happiness, friendliness, and creativity! At the same time, yellow can also mean anxiety or suicide.

3. Blue

Wearing blue generally means you're calm. But beware of blue because it can also mean unfriendliness.

4. Pink

Wearing the color pink means sexuality and love. See, Pink SHOULD be the color to wear on Valentines day. On the other hand, pink can also mean physical weakness.

5. Green

Green means nature or harmony. Green is also the color for peace. On the other hand, green can also mean boredom.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
