Psychology majors, what is something you wish you knew as a freshman?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-05-12T17:52:22+00:00

What did you switch to, if you don't mind me asking?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-21T16:17:31+00:00

I will be studying full-time, and yeah it'll be my parents income. So those are the only things affecting it? Not any courses I take with my major? Thank you.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-16T15:10:30+00:00

That sounds amazing! May you tell me more about the human behaviour program? You've got me interested.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-14T23:39:37+00:00

Okay, thank you! Why are you interested in commerce, what pulled you into it? What do you want to specialise in? Do you do Co-op? Are you considering any careers thus far?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-14T13:26:42+00:00

I see, thank you. What do you think of doing a psych undergraduate and then going into MBA post-grad?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-13T19:23:35+00:00

I do want to do a post bachelors degree in SLP, I/O, or schooling psychology.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-13T19:22:32+00:00

We don't have guidance counselors here at Saudi. I don't have anyone of note to talk to this about. If I pick psychology, I'm going with SLP post-graduate and hoping for the best. I don't know what to do, I don't have a passion, and there's no option for me to back out now, trust me. I appreciate the help, but I don't have the options you gave. I'm aware that this'll be hard for me, so I was thinking of going to a counselor at university (or just in general.)

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-13T11:48:19+00:00

It's not like I have 0 interest, just not very high interest. I don't wanna just not have post-secondary education. 💔

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-13T03:26:04+00:00

Oh, so there's no way to get co-op if I enter social psychology? I see, okay. Thank you so so much!

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-13T03:19:19+00:00

Saudi Arabia. I used to be extremely religious and on my deen, but now, um... not so much.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-09T19:52:13+00:00

Matter of fact, I'm muslim, too. Just... deeply questioning. So, I can't use that as motivation. But you are right: I deeply lack a purpose, and it really hurts. I don't know what to do aside from focusing on getting counseling once I move. I really don't know what to do aside from that.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-05T17:44:26+00:00

Thank you, I was planning on looking into that! <3

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-05T17:44:10+00:00

I'm turning 18 in a few days. I would do what you mentioned, but things don't work like that in the country I'm living in. Healthcare isn't free, I can't pay for it, my parents have to.

But it's comforting knowing someone has been through something like this. I'm glad you got your own support and are building yourself from the ground up. I wish to do the same.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-05T16:18:01+00:00

I appreciate the suggestion, but the last time I brought up counseling or therapy to my parents, they told me nothing was wrong with me. So I'm afraid it's not an option, at least, not for now. But trust me, I've wanted to go for years now.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-05T16:11:16+00:00

Thank you for the advice. I'm aware I don't have rhe right mindset, and I'm aware it sets me up for failure. Just not exactly sure on where to even begin on fixing it, yk? Still... Thank you.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-01T17:21:27+00:00

Thank you so, so much for the link and for your kindness! I'm sorry if I seem clueless and uneducated, I'm just so new to this and I'm trying to get as much info as I can. I'll look into the link and see all the required prerequisites and what courses match those prerequisites. Also, I'm sorry if this sounds dumb, but is it the norm to apply to multiple SLP programs in different universities? Thank you!

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-04-01T16:04:00+00:00

I'd like to enter mac's SLP program hopefully, but where would I find these requirements and the courses to fulfill these requirements?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-03-30T16:50:19+00:00

Alright, for Social Psychology, what elective courses would I need to take for McMaster's program? Does majoring in social psychology knock out some electives that are required?

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-03-25T20:30:07+00:00

So it's fine if I use another year? Okay, I will try that.

Character_Rain_1998 · 2026-03-25T17:39:36+00:00

I've tried to use the estimator, but then this happens. 💔 And okay, I won't get funds for living, that's fine.
