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.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
