I wasn’t the most studious child but i liked making pretty notes and thus opened books. It was a huge dilemma what subject to choose to with commerce, i went with psychology. I didn’t really know what it held for me. I thought i’ll be studying about body language expressions etc. I didn’t really liked 11th ncert but did like studying any topic off internet regarding psychology. Finally, In 12th i started loving studying psychology even from textbook. It was the subject i spent my most time on and ended up taking it up for graduation. As i’m in my second year, I wouldn’t say that it’s a piece of cake. There are days when hate making practical files or didn’t like studying although interested.
Taking psychology has helped me a lot deal with my own issues and understanding others issues better. You cannot stick to just books, explore more ,learn online. Don’t limit yourself to just textual knowledge. I still don’t know in what psychology field i’ll major in and it’s kinda scary not knowing where your life is going. But we’ll get through it. I find joy in spending time cooking, watching netflix and trying out new food

@gurleenkaur Heyy, yeah same, I'm not very sure about what I'd want to take up in psychology so I'm just living in the present now and trying my subjects. Sometimes it also feels like I'm caught up feeling scared because of comparing myself with the others that have also taken up the subject and its something I'm consciously focusing on improving. So it's really reassuring to hear how other people feel similarly and are still trying to explore the subject. I hope we'll figure it out along the way ❤️ ❤️

@gurleenkaur Good to hear you found your interest and don't worry, eventually you'll figure out what you want. I'm in my last year of grad but until a few months ago, even I was confused between a couple fields. But now I'm sure and I think you'll get there too.

heyy!! Psychology is a vast field and there are numerous number of branches you could choose from. I’m sure along the way you will find the one that suits you best! Wishing you all the very best☺️
I am glad you found your interest in the subject. I know it can be scary to not know the exact direct of your life but I am sure you will find your way through life and hope is happens for you soon.
Hello Gurleen. One thing at a time indeed. Psychology is so vast, it can be overwhelming. I'm happy you're enjoying your journey and you have a positive outlook. It will be a rollercoaster and I'm often a lazy bear too but hey, we have to work hard as we go ahead. But of course, it will be fun and worth it because? Psychology! The field never fails to entertain and surprise us and the experience is unmatched. Hope you keep growing to be an amazing psychologist!
I am really glad to know that you took up psychology. Psychology is definitely an interesting & fascinating subject, but can be frightening at the same time demanding a lot of time and attention. Since, you've already begun, I'm sure you can do this & ace this subject! All the best for choosing the specialisation! Thank you for sharing your experience:)
Thank you for sharing your experience with us 😊😊
It's nice that you're taking things slow and trying out new new things. I hope you find a field of your interest. Take care.
Just like you even I fell in love with this subject.
Hey Gurleen
That's great. Incredibly honest. Sometimes our course can indeed wear us out. Thank you for admitting that. I am kinda relieved to hear it from someone else. And I guess each field requires a lot of research and exploration.
It was really nice knowing about your journey with the subject, surely there are things we like about it and something we don't like more. But it's what makes a journey fun.Don't worry much about the future you will surely do good just be focused and live in the moments and remember hard work has no shortcuts.
Psychology is really a vast subject and each subject has it's own grace and importance
All the best
Gurleen, i can so relate to you as i have similar experiences with regard to choosing psychology and yes the subject has a whole teaches us beyond books. You've come long way already a little more wishing you that you figure out soon. Good luck
Are we synced, friend? I love making notes too and do it just to see how beautiful they turn out. I am glad that you found your academic passion as I have done. Even I don't know exactly what field of Psychology I want to specialized is and as you said it is kind of scary but the idea of such a thorough exploration is exciting enough to keep us going, right? I am a first year student of Psychology too and yes graduation in this subject doesn't come easy. But the beauty of Psychology is that you can learn it from everywhere and anywhere. When you're watching movie, binging, reading a book, hanging out with friends, attending a wedding or doing literally anything- you are learning about Psychology. It is not and cannot be contained merely by books. I hope like us, everyone is able to see the wonders of Psychology everywhere
heyyyyy senior! Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience with us
All the best ♥️
Good to see that psychology's helped to grow into a better person and also more empathetic. Also, the way you emphasized the need to move beyond what's taught in books and gain actual information and experiences from other reliable sources is also equally important. Luck to you for your future endeavors and hope you'll figure it out and continue shining 😊
Hello there. Even I had faced what you had mentioned above. But with right time and thoughts you can choose what you can do. All the best!!
Don't worry, You will get through it. I was unsure too... But as time passes by, things will become clear. You remind me of my friend. And trust me she is doing really well now. I know you will too... Don't lose hope. Good luck. 🤗
I know right! It can be scary but guess what, there r multiple ways out and so it ll take time to discover but it will be worth the time. U urself will know what is best for u as time passes and u ll have opportunities in front of u. Wishing u loads of luck for ur journey ahead!💫
You are right we shouldn't have to limit ourselves to bookish knowledge only.we should explore the practical knowledge too.
Great to hear your journey ❣️
Hey 🙂 It definitely has helped me in so many ways too. As you keep studying, you start discovering so many things about yourself. Have lots of fun and stay safe 😀
hey it was so good to know little more about you I am not a Psychology student but with the experience and observing behaviour I got to know more about it and its fascinating.
