to babypiglet about psych-- i have had the BEST experiences as a psych major! i am very much a child and adolescent/developmental/educational psychology person. ive taken so so many classes and have enjoyed every one of them! my favorites have been child and adolescent psych, psych of exceptional individual, abnormal psych, and educational psychology. if you DO end up going into psych, remember not to diagnose yourself... too much. haha!

Lol. Child developmental psych sounds really really interesting! Really what I'm looking for.

I also have one other interest to major in. Social Work. The only problem is the university I was planning on going to doesn't offer it, so I'd have to transfer sophomore year.

My name is Jenny btw.

Shamefully I have to say I have no idea. I 'stole' it off of a friend of a friend's flickr account. She actually said I could use it, heh. It just looked like it would work good with the lyrics.

A Picture of Yourself

Hi everybody. I saw the post for this thread on the CB, and I'm so excited the thread exists. I read the CB and Budget Board alot, but they can sometimes be downers. I also love the Disney Weddings board, even though I am far far away from a wedding.

I'm a junior majoring in psych and minoring in special education. It's interesting there are so many of us here with similar majors. I love talking about developmental issues, parenting, abnormal psych, etc. I'm hoping to go to graduate school in psych. I don't plan on doing the College Program at any point.

My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy for spending so much time on a message board. I hope I'm not the only one lol.

Hmm...trying to think of anything else I can add.

OH! I've been homeschooled since March to fast track my high school courses. I plan on graduating in the next month, then starting college in the fall. I might even take some simple starter courses in the summer. No, I'm not a genius and incredibly super smart, I just wanted to get to college quicker.

I also have a passion for cooking, although I'd never become a chef. I prefer homecooking.

I volunteer occaisonally at the Department of Human Services because my mother works there, and it's right above DCFS (my dream job).

OH, one more thing. I prefer to be called Jenny other than Babypiglet. I was so young when I made this account name, Lol.

Melly, you're beautiful! I'll upload a picture in a second, I'll have to see if I can find a good one.

Another psych major! Hi there.

Yes, I'm so glad I found this thread. Ya'll seem to be all in tune with where I'm at right now. I can relate to so many of you, even though I'm a bit younger.

hey everyone!
this is a cute thread! I'm a sophomore from college in NY, I'm a social work major with a psych minor lol, so it looks like we have lots of psych people on here. I want to eventually work with mental disorders, abnormal psych, that kind of thing.

sooo...anyone else stuck in the cold and wishing they lived in florida?

oh almost forgot about my music- i really like anything. i listen to classical music (i LOVE going to operas lol, i know it's wierd), i like broadway, jazz, rock (mostly classic rock- the stones and the beatles!), and all kind of alterative, even some country. i just love music haha.

looks like we're in for a fun thread!

Can you tell me somethings about the social work major? I'm seriously on the fench between SW and psych.

yea definately! I dont know much about what you can do with a psych major so someone else might have to chime in there. Social work majors have a ton of flexability because you can work in a lot of different locations - i.e. in a school as a guidance counselor, in a mental health hospital, in a normal hospital working with families of the sick, in a childrens home, etc. theres a ton of things you can do with it. If you have any specific questions you can pm me, i'm not sure what else to say about it.

Aw, thanks Jenny! And that's awesome that you'll be done with HS at so young. You'll already be ahead of the game when everyone else is just starting college, that's such a good idea. Do you plan on staying home for college or going away? good luck with everything!

sooo...anyone else stuck in the cold and wishing they lived in florida?

MEEE!!! I wish I could live in NYC for the spring, summer and fall and then movie down to Florida for the winter. It's WAY too cold out, I hate it. UGH.

Welcome to the thread! What part of NY are you in?

I wish i lived in NYC! i go there sometimes for weekends, when we get too bored here lol. i love the city-theres always stuff to do. poughkeepsie has more than my hometown did, but after a while its pretty boring. i bet you never get bored in the city!

You can't get bored here, there's always something going on even if it's something completely simple and random I know Poughkeepsie, though! It's not that far from here, like 2 and a half hours-ish? I think?

Have you looked into Licensed Clinical Social Worker? It's a masters degree, I believe there are several different levels of qualifications. Alot of people do psych for undergrad, then the clinical social work as a masters. I know with that degree you can be a therapist, and I'm sure many other things. Something to look into if you decide to major in psych. I'm sorry I don't know too much about it yet.
