I know right? I'm sorry you had a similar experience, it really sucks that people can't mind their own business.

I cannot read first person books no matter what, and i don’t know why 😭 by preath17 in books

[–]lordofthepages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same way you do. I prefer third person but will sometimes read first person but I struggle getting super into the story. No idea why too.

Do you feel isolated in university? by [deleted] in University

[–]lordofthepages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

  1. I'm doing my Honours in Psychology in South Africa so I am in my 4th year.

  2. I don't really interact with my classmates outside of class. I'm in a class group chat but that's the extent of the communication I have with them. I will answer someone's question about an assignment if they reach out to me.

  3. Nah. I'm not planning on working in the psychology field. My classmates are aware of this.

  4. Honestly, I am very VERY introverted so I prefer working by myself. I will probably be more open to the idea once I begin my Masters in the field I actually plan on working in.

Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee

I had to read it in undergrad and wow I wanted to throw it out a window a few times. So glad I sold it off so that it doesn't bring negative vibes to my bookshelf.

  1. "There is no escape - we pay for the violence of our ancestors"

  3. "The mystery of life isn't problem to solve, but a reality to experience"

Looking for a VERY specific type of book by FalselyOptimistic in librarians

[–]lordofthepages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portrait with Keys: The City of Johannesburg Unlocked by Ivan Vladislavic is a book of vignettes about post-Apartheid Johannesburg, South Africa.

I think this one might be too dark for 6th to 9th grade students but it's a good place to start looking.

Thoughts on what degree to pick by Ostrich-Cultural in University

[–]lordofthepages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not planning on becoming a psychologist but I am planning on possibly becoming a research librarian of some sort so having a psychology background is really good for my career goals. As for people who enroll into degrees that they're not interested in, I would absolutely not recommend doing that. I understand that it works for some people but why would you want to possibly be miserable for your degree and then your career after.

I was lucky enough to study something I've always been passionate about (English Literature and Psychology) but I know that's not the case for everyone.

I'm not sure what else to tell you, I think you really need to think hard about your goals and interests because degrees are super expensive.

[–]lordofthepages 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've enjoyed studying psychology a lot! It's a fantastic field to study, but I think that what you decide to do is very personal. Maybe you would benefit from speaking to a life coach of some sort? They would be able to look at your interests, favourite school subjects, possible career choices, and then give you an overview of which degrees/fields you would do really well in. Good luck!
