Psychologist🧐

AP Psych was one of the classes I took senior year of high school. It was really interesting and I liked it a lot. I had an amazing teacher who was interesting and made the class so. He had his teaching perfected down to a t.

One thing he said was very true. As he had said, it's one of those classes where what you learn is, well, actually useful. You actually use that knowledge of psychology in day-to-day life. It sticks with you because it comes up so frequently. Especially if you're interested in the subject, because then you're more prone to learn it well, and then recognize when it does come up.

I don't know if it's just the inside jokes I've made with my friends recently, but lately it has just come up a lot and caused me to think about psychology a lot more.

It's another one of those jobs I could see myself doing and being good at. Part of what is good about being an introvert is that you're basically a psych major, lol. It's so easy to psycho-analyze people. So I already feel like I do it everyday.

So many psychology concepts have seemed to come up all the time

1. Rosy retrospection and

2. "Near death experience" as well as

3. Life flashbacks have come up in a novella I had to read, analyze, and write an essay about for my russian lit class.

Then randomly I was thinking about this concept/it came up:

1. Oedipus complex. Yeah what the frick was that. I remember it was in the textbook pages that we had to read one day. I don't remember if it was then covered in class or not but it came up on a test and I think most people didn't know what it was. I remember laughing thinking about their reactions if they look it up after the test. But I remembered it because it was so weird(well I also think I was one of the only ones who actually read the textbook, because it was assigned everyday and 10 pages somehow took like an hour to read, if reading for quality and learning ((the pages were jam-packed with terms we would be tested on); I mean once you learn about it, how could you forgot? It sticks in your head precisely for the reason that it's so weird. I was like Freud, what are you trying to tell us here? Using psychology, in fact, against you, reverse psychology, I think this is a projection of your own theories and ideas and reality that you then tried to make into a theory. Pretend other people agree?

   1. I believe it came in mind because I was thinking about if for boys, well, I guess, if the theory is actually true? And then I was also wondering if, for boys, they look for qualities of their mom in a girl? And I had remembered that it has been said that for girls, they look for qualities of their dad, so I think that's what also made me think of the reverse case for boys.
