I’m so glad I’m making it my concentration. I just love learning about why humans behave the way we do. I love learning about our development over time, how the development of our brain influences how we make certain decisions. It’s so much to learn, but it’s so incredibly fascinating that I don’t even notice the “work” I have to put into it.

It also makes me so aware of the existence of God. Especially when learning about the brain and how each part affects us. Most people view it as we behave certain ways BECAUSE of how our biology is set up and therefore, how can we have free will at all…but I view it differently. God made us these intricate beings. Every pathway lines up so that we develop and evolve to be who we are. Yes, our genes and biology influence our behavior, and in some cases, cause our behavior, but God has made us this way. I don’t know if I’m explaining my thoughts correctly, but just wanted to put that out there.

College is the most tumultuous time of my life. And I hate that. I go from the highest highs to lowest lows so fast, and those lows just don’t make it worth it. I’m only really happy when I don’t have a chance to think about stuff. And that’s not who I am.

I write this now, but I’m sure in a day or two I’ll feel better and love college. But just for tonight, I hate this place.

Things will get better. They always do. Maybe you just need a long break away or figure out a better place for you. Don’t forget to take time for yourself and do the things you love. When you don’t, that’s when school gets daunting.

As the saying goes: This too shall pass.

Having to decide between UConn and UVM is really, really, really eating away at me.

UConn is a great school and I’d basically come out debt free.

UVM gave me a great feeling, but it’s super expensive.

I’m pretty sure I know what the right choice is, and I’m pretty sure I’ve already made my decision. I just need some reassurance of some kind so I can stop second guessing myself.

if you can dome out debt free—do it. I go to UVM and it’s a good school, but I get free tuition. I can’t imagine coming here if I had to pay an out of state price (I assume you’re not from VT)  Anyways college is really what you make it. As long as you stay positive and meet good people, I think you can have a good experience no matter what school you go to.

Anyways, if you have any questions, just ask. :)
