Zoomester Studyblr Challenge

Day 2 - If you’ve chosen a major, why did you decide on it? If you’re in any other grade , what field/major interests you the most?

9/4/21

Where I study, universities don't really have the concept of majors in the same way that other places do. You choose your subjects when you apply and that's how it stays until you graduate. So, my subjects in undergrad were Psychology, History and English Literature. I wanted Psychology and this was the best combination of subjects the the University offered with Psychology. That isn't to say, however, that I didn't absolutely love English Lit and History. (In fact, I was thrilled that I could study Literature and History again. Until last year, our system was such that after tenth grade, each student would pick one stream out of Science, Commerce and Arts. You don't get to mix the subjects. I had chosen science and so after two years of physics and maths, history and lit were a more than welcome respite). For post-grad I chose Clinical Psychology.

I am not sure how well I can answer the why psychology question. When I started out, it seemed pretty clear. I was always intrigued by the ways in which our brain could function different from the established norm. I also watched a show when I was younger were a couple of kids had a child psychologist for mother, and she helped the kids' father understand the children better every step of the way. Oh, she was also dead, btw. A child psychologist ghost. I wanted to be like her - not the ghost part but the part where she bridges the gap between children and adults.

But the more I learn this subject, the more I realise that there several other factors, too, that lead me here.

Here are the terrible pictures from what I studied today:
