How does Psychology Apply to My Life?

 

What do you know or what have you been told about the field of psychology?

                My whole life I have always thought psychology was just the study of the way people                        think. I also assumed that people who studied psychology just want to be therapists. But                    within this class, I know I will learn so much more.

Do you expect that you'll utilize anything you learn in Introductory Psychology as part of your major/career goals?  Why or why not?

                Yes, I do think I will utilize the things I learn in Introductory Psychology, since I want to                 be a real estate lawyer. Being a real estate lawyer involves being in the business world, and I              think to be in a tough world like it is helpful to understand people better.

How, if at all, do you see psychology being relevant to your everyday life?

            Most definitely, since a young age I have always felt very aware. Because of this, I have                     always been interested in the way people think and why they think like that. I will meet                     different types of people my whole life, so if I can try to understand people better now it will             eventually help me learn more about myself.

PORTFOLIO: Unit 2 Application Reflection

  Unit 2 Application Reflection After looking through the list, I would say that I am really good at creating schedules of my assignments in order to keep track of them, so I know when they are due or not. I also tend to look up a lot of words I do not understand, since my vocabulary could use some work. I do try to think about the main idea after I read things. In all honesty, after seeing this list showed me that I do not have the most healthy study habits. I personally feel like growing up, when it came to school it came so natural and easy to me I did not have to study. So after years of not having to study, I am a college student now and really struggling. I would say my best strength would be my schedule and organization since I am really good at planning, but I really need to work on my time management and focus ability. I tend to stay really busy, so I never consider the extra time I might need for certain things. But after these first couple weeks of my sophomore year of c...

PORTFOLIO: Unit 5 Application Reflection

PORTFOLIO: Unit 5 Application Reflection After being in psychology and learning the effects of how stress can really affect someone, I am starting to understand how it can weigh so heavy. I learned how stress can be a very big impact on a person's mental health, and how by having too much stress it can be easily be overwhelming and extremely negative both emotionally and physically. Some stressors that I am personally worried about for the end of the semester is really just school, and exams. I struggle with seasonal depression, since I am person who really bases their moods off the environment and their surroundings. So when it is cold like this, I find it harder to do tasks that were so simple for me before. I also always worry about my grades, since I really do want good grades but it is also hard to find the motivation this time of year. Some ideas I have in order to help myself are to make sure I try to plan ahead as much as possible, so I do not feel ...
