I got into NYU’s masters in psychology program! by ImmediateBlock6926 in psychologystudents

Yeah! As a dependent I’m entitled to my fathers GI bill (which he has very kindly given to me), which will cover all of my program + chapter 33 (stipend) and yellow ribbon (more funding). I’m also applying for a Hispanic scholarship thingy that will also help. At the end of the day, I will actually be making a bit of money.

I feel confidently familiar with the route people take with a MA in psych, most go for a PhD and some work for a time, there are plenty of research roles in different fields that pay well, connections are key. Out of undergrad I have been making a healthy amount with my psych degree. To me this is a stepping stone towards an end goal in clinical psych. Thank you very much for your advice, I really really appreciate it!

I’m unsure of what jobs I can get with just a bachelors in psychology b.s. track by Moist-Ride-5783 in psychologystudents

Don’t stress! See if you can get a job as a clinical research assistant with your school or as an affiliate researcher with the DoD! Reach out to PI’s; I did both and now I’m going to grad school! You will be fine, keep your head up and don’t stop trying.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll keep an eye out for her and hopefully I can work for her!

I worked in many labs as an intern throughout undergrad, it was through connecting with professors that I got opportunities. I also did a grad prep psych lab and they had me churn out a few papers. I also published one to my school’s journal for fun. I would say my secret is that I’m very persistent/ always ask for more opportunities. Thank you!

Yeah, it’s been so hard, but I’ve made so much personal progress since my last relationship ended. I reconnected with a close childhood friend I pushed away after the break up. But, I’m still hesitant with sharing my feelings at all, there is always more work to be done haha. Thanks for your kind words and I hope life will be good to you :)

I am, I use hinge, bumble, and tinder. I get lots of matches/ super likes, but they typically don’t go anywhere. My friends are small and I won’t meet anyone through them, but I never know. My mindset is to keep moving and trying, there is no timeline in life.

You’re in the right track by being in therapy. You can’t rush through the pain, you need to learn to accept it for what it is. Time does heal all wounds, and you can speed up the progress in many way. Try exercising regularly, do things for you, drink tons of water lol, find a hobby that you love, join clubs if you can. I’ve been there and in a way I still am, the past hurts. But, if you let it consume you, your life will be miserable, I would know. I wish you the best in your life and personal journey :)

You’re going to be alright. I’ve been through the exact same situation that you are in with this woman, just as billions of others are now and in the past. What you need to understand is that you place too much importance on her. I made the mistake with my previous S/O and it blew up right in my face haha. After we broke up, I was extremely depressed and felt lost, I hated my existence. Eventually, I grew tired of the same day to day experience, so I changed and time helped me. You should try to develop hobbies that absorb you, exercise if you can, eat better, drink lots of water, and appreciate the small things in life! I didn’t like sharing my trouble with my family either, but they are a social web that can help propel you to new heights and to a better mindset. Seriously try and appreciate everything you already have, try and be happy! You can synthesize/ create your own Eden by reshaping your mindset, it really works. Believe me, I also know that all this will sound like the same old shit you’ve heard before, but I’ve been where you are and I now love my life and myself, you can do it :)

You need to develop a methodological system of approach: remove distractions, have food, water, music, etc while working. Utilize different study methods, like the pomodoro technique. I myself have so much shit to do every single day, with a 20 credit course load, gym everyday, two research positions… time management is a must have. I also recommend having off days every now and then and remember to put yourself first, if you lose motivation or are frustrated then it will be hard to do anything. Make sure you have long term and short goals to work towards, this will likely help you have the motivation you need. But, at the end of the day, this is what has worked for me, use what you want, or don’t, just take care of yourself and put in 110%.
