oh, really?
Is it just me, or is it kind of cool to know that the experiments described in textbooks were done by professors that teach and research (or taught and researched) at your university? It’s not prideful in any sense, but it sort of makes everything a little more relevant, possibly because you have better access to these researchers who performed the research.
I mean, the community college I...
OMG
My psychology professor is so cute. What’s wrong with me?
enlightenment ... ?
Ever since I reasoned (myself into a corner) that there is no such thing as a soul mate with whom you would share eternity, I feel like I’ve been betrayed and that I can no longer trust anyone. It’s a double-edged sword … think about it, literally, a soul mate is someone your soul is connected to at all times. This doesn’t mean that when you are born, you are without a soul...

I’m very, very bad at forgetting little things.
I am notorious for leaving behind my USB flashdrive —- the thing I usually keep all my recent documents and personal information (like updated resumes and stuff). No matter what I do, I also seems to forget them at public computer stations because you either have to plug it into the back of the monitor or a computer that is to the side of where you...
it's insanity
Perhaps this supposed “bug” that everyone has been getting has finally caught me, because I really feel under the weather. It’s only consistent with the constant Facebook statuses that cry out “I’m sick! My body has a larger store of germs than normal! Beware!”
I have done nothing ‘right’ all day as I completely misread an email to my TA to catch...
cruel minds
For the life of me, I could not concentrate today for these reasons
I’m not getting enough sleep
I’m taking too many classes
I’m eating too many calories
I’m bored out of my mind
I’d rather facebook than study
Sensation & and Perception is a dry topic
I’m getting old and boring
I would rather be a lab rat
I’m not having too much fun
I miss...
so, is love the answer? →
Love has inspired countless works of art, from immortal plays such as Romeo and Juliet, to architectural masterpieces such as the Taj Mahal, to classic pop songs, like Queen’s “Love of My Life”. This raises the obvious question: why is love such a stimulating emotion? Why does the act of falling in love – or at least thinking about love – lead to such a spur of creative productivity?

the many ways to project
So, today I have a meeting with a professor of mine who announced that there were research 199 opportunies available, which are basically special studies courses where you work in a particular lab and receive credit for it. Prior to the start of Fall Quarter here at my university, I had scrambled to email the handful of psychology labs that were looking for students to be enslaved help with...
it's all just a joke, right?
I couldn’t help it —- what first came to mind when I started this blog was high aspirations, quickly followed by the internal, one-sided conversation that reminded me that 1) nobody reads my blogs 2) I don’t have anything interesting to say, and even if I did 3) I don’t update consistently enough. Who am I kidding, anyway? In real life, you’d never find me expressing...
