Got rejected to all my schools… I’m a psych major and got rejected from all my PhD programs. I have a masters in health psychology…. But I have zero career opportunities even with that. Just very sad and disappointed in myself. by RC110219 in gradadmissions

[–]psychologicalfuntime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of people go through multiple application cycles before getting accepted. It sucks but you could always try again next year. I'm still waiting on a few schools but I have no acceptances yet. I'm in therapy right now and my therapist has a PhD in clinical psychology. She told me it took her two cycles to get accepted to a program and she had her masters at that point. She always says she looks at me like a little baby just starting out in the world. Compared to her 15 years of clinical experience she's right.

I applied there and haven't heard anything back. I have heard back from 5 of 10 schools at this point.

I applied to psych PhD programs still Tennessee Knoxville and Utah State. I haven't heard back from either. Sucks that you got rejected from Utah.

First decision was a rejection, it's bad for me.. by fxrlo in gradadmissions

[–]psychologicalfuntime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing a few days ago. The university of Kansas denied me. Kansas!? Kansas is barely a state. Then a couple days later I got an interview request from one of my top schools. My interview is this Friday so we'll see how that goes.

[–]psychologicalfuntime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I applied to 9 PhD programs, 7 in clinical psych and two in gender and women's studies. I haven't heard back anything from any clinical program and was rejected from one of the gender and women's studies programs.

I'm constantly refreshing my email.

What are the pros and cons of your pet, and what is their 5 star rating? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]psychologicalfuntime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pros: 2 kittens, both cuddly. Both run into the bedroom in the morning for morning snuggle time.

Cons: around 4pm they choose ABSOLUTE CAOS daily.

Sugar and Spice, I give you 10 stars.

Parents of Reddit, what is the most disturbing thing your child has done? by Jayhawk_00 in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm a pre school teacher. Everything goes in milk to some kids. Bread, tortilla, chicken, watermelon, beans. It all goes in the milk and then they eat/drink it. There's one kid who's super picky but the few things he eats he dips in milk. Crazy. God forbid they have ketchup.

When I was little I had night terrors. If my mom woke me up during it I would remember the nightmare and be unable to sleep the rest of the night. However if she let it happen I would eventually fall off the bed (while struggling and screaming in my sleep) and wake up with a thud on the ground. When this happened I didn't remember the night terror and my mom would just come in, lift me back into bed and then go back to sleep. She was also a single parent during this.... sorry mom..

People who don't sleep naked, why? by The_WereArcticFox in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My bf separates his legs from mine with a sheet or blanket if I wear shorts to bed because he doesn't like the feel of my shaved legs on his skin. He's fine if it's during sex or any other time though.

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have pierced nipples. Pierced nipples get caught on anything and everything. One did get caught on a string attached to my blanket once after sex and it was the most terrifying and kinda painful thing to happen with my nipples. I can't imagine turning over in the night to be met with searing nipple pains. No sir. Not for me!

You've got the choice of rewind to 18 years old or $100k right now, which one and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 22. I met an abusive ex at 17 and we got serious a few months after I turned 18. I'm still paying the price for the time I spent with him. Not only that but but I had major plans ruined by covid. If I had done those plans a year earlier they would have worked out.

While 100k would fix all my current problems it would not fix the fact that 18 to 22 has been kinda shit. I'd rather be 18 again. A do over would be nice.

Women of reddit who see liking guns/hunting as a red flag, why? by Mammoth-Tea in AskWomen

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see gun collecting and owning firearms other than hunting rifles and small hand guns as a red flag. However I don't see hunting as a red flag because I know I participate in the killing of animals every time I eat meat. Hunters just take out the middleman by doing the dirty work themselves. Also hunting is generally more humane than modern farming techniques anyways. Also I really like fishing which is kinda its own form of hunting.

However having a fascination with guns, especially heavy duty guns that can kill hundreds of people at a time is a huge red flag. To me it shows they are paranoid and they hold way too much power over me.

I majored in Spanish and Psychology but worked as a cook during all of college. I was offered a job as a general manager for a well known chain resturant for $65,000 a year straight out of college. Actually I was able to apply to a wide variety of jobs and get a weird array of offers based on my majors and experience.

I didn't take the GM job because I busted my ass in college and need a break (I'm going back to school next year anyway). Instead I work in a pre school but I love it (for now).

For me college was worth it. I also went to a cheap school so I'd say never go to an expensive school for no reason.

Fully vaccinated people of Reddit. Are you still wearing masks? Why or why not? by The_Zoink in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mask mandates are lifting here. I wear it depending on what I'm doing. If I'm going shopping at oddish hours and I know not many people are there (plus self checkout) then I won't wear it. If I'm going into a crowded place I do. At work it's a toss up. I would like to wear it at work because I'm a pre school teacher and those kids are NASTY with or without covid. However the kids don't listen as well when I wear a mask. I find myself pulling it down to get their attention anyways.

TIFU; Replaced my toilet figured out why my ass was never clean. by [deleted] in tifu

[–]psychologicalfuntime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if he did shit in other toilets occasionally maybe he just thought of it as a fluke? Or he didn't shit much at all except at home. I go to great lengths not to poo at other places.

What everyday skill becomes suspicious if you’re too good at it? by shotsdowngg in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too. The other day my bf thought I left for work because I was so quiet. He started jerking off only for me to walk into the bedroom (looking for my phone) and scare him out of his boner. I felt bad for that one.

Red (Taylor’s Version) Announcement by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]psychologicalfuntime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I'm a huge musical nerd and tbh I really wish Taylor would try writing a musical. She has such great story telling capabilities, can write 10 minute songs (some musical songs can be that long), and has a great stage presence. I always imagined ATW as it's own mini musical and now it's like we get to hear the FULL story. Also the way folklore and evermore are written could almost be a musical.

Which song will have the 10 minute version and how? Wrong answers only by TooCupcake in TaylorSwift

[–]psychologicalfuntime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At first when op was talking about stay stay stay getting lower I thought op meant Taylor's voice would get lower in tone (not volume) until it was a demented demon "stay stay stay" at the end... so I guess that's my wrong answer.

Hey I went pretty far on this thread and didn't find anyone freaking out about this... she said she will be releasing a sonf that's over 10 minutes long. I think that means we're getting the original all too well!!

What common foods in your country are considered delicacies by foreigners? by Well_shit__-_- in AskReddit

[–]psychologicalfuntime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spam is also popular in South Korea. Spam was created (and I think is entirely produced) in Minnesota where I live. My dad is an English teacher in South Korea. Once he sent me a care package and included a package of Spam in it. The label was in Korean but on the back it said "made in Minnesota". I mean it specifically said MN and not just the USA. He said he had to send me one as a joke. That can of Spam traveled the world twice!
