You Might Be A Psych Major If...

Psychology majors deal with a lot. You know you're definitely a psychology major if you've heard these things before.

Laughing, giggling, smiling, chuckling and snickering are highly encouraged. Remember, our psychology majors have a sense of humor and you should too!

1. You've taken every personality test under the under the sun

Whether it's the Myers Brigg's test or The Five Factor Model, chances are at least one of your classes have made you take a personality test. It's just a fact... you might even actually like it.

2. "What will you do with a psychology major?"

The question is what won't I do with a psychology major? Whether I decide to go Pre-Med or clinical psychology, I know my future will be spent doing something I'm passionate about.

3. "Psychology is such an easy major"

I work just as hard as you do, promise.

4. And your friends finally take PSY 100 and realize it's not as easy as they think

That's right, please tell me about how memorizing hundreds of years of research and work that psychologists have done is easy. Reading research studies? Also not easy (but definitely worth the read).

5. You definitely have made a couple cheesy psychology jokes in your time

And this is only the start...

6. You get asked if you can read minds

Well no actually I can't! That's not what psychology is at all! That's pseudoscience!

7. Try to use your new found knowledge to process why our friends are the way they are

8. Self diagnose even though every professor tells you not to very explicitly

According to my classes, I'm probably dying

9. At every family function you get asked what your plans are for after you graduate

We can talk about the fact that Clinical Psychology grad programs are 10x harder to get into than medical school, or the fact that I can literally do anything I want with my degree and I'm still not quite sure I'm ready for that kind of commitment.

10. At the end of the day despite what anyone says, you love your major and you wouldn't change it for the world.

I know that I'm going to be changing lives no matter what I chose to do with my degree. I am so beyond happy I chose to major in psychology, and I am excited about all the opportunities it will bring me in the future.
