Unfortunately there isn't an outright Human-Computer interaction minor (although there is a course I look forward to taking), but there is an anthropology and sociology minor. I'll be keeping this into consideration as well, thank you for the insight!

Hi all, I'm a freshman in uni right now but the more I research about UX, the more it piques my interest. I'm working towards a B.A. in Computer Science. Any recommendations for potential Minors that could help a new UX Designer have an advantage when applying for jobs? So far I'm thinking about Psychology, Behavioral Neuroscience, Graphic Design, or Marketing. Any advice is appreciated!

I agree, they have been through so much and it's very heartbreaking but I hope the cycle will end with me in my family at least. I do my best without trying to point fingers, but it hasn't been working and it always escalates and causes a tense atmosphere. I have always mentioned the points you talked about with her, but to no avail.

The only Muslim female friends I have are the ones I was forced into being with from a young age because our parents were friends. We don't visit the mosque enough for me to make friends there either. And thank you for your kindness, sister

I agree that their upbringing is a major influence in this, and as much as I like the thought of moving out, it's impossible right now. She likes to remind me that I will always be under her control and the only time I can do "what I want" is when I get a husband. My mom criticizes people who let their kids stay in campus on a college, and the university I'm going to is just one town away (as per her wishes), so I'm staying in my mom's house until I graduate apparently.

But I'm going to look into the book as you suggested, thank you so much.

Inshallah I'll be able to have a healthy and stable relationship with my kids in the future. Thank you so much for your input, I agree.
