The Whining and Bitching Thread

[st3333phani3333]

Well, I am improper in many ways and I cannot help it. My school is kind of ghetto and has many ghetto kids, so I hear it all the time and no one ever corrects me (excpet for like a few teachers, the rest don't have a care in the world). Come to think of it, there are some ghetto teachers aswell in my school. I hate them all. It's sad.
1% is not even a chance, to me. I better start my search.

Hmmmm my house, however nice it may be, is located in the outskirts of the city. While this isn't bad from a clean air/less noise POV, it's annoying as there barely are kids around my age here and my friends all live quite far away.

Actually I'd given myself a lot of things to do in the summer which I've been too lazy to do. - For the motivational talk. Least expected it on a metal forum

Tbh I think I could have rocked a psychotherapist career if psychology weren't such a lame-ass thing to major in at college.

Anyway, I feel you on the motivation thing, but it always helps to have 'back-up goals' in case you can't manage the main ones. Even reading 50-100 pages of a novel or going for a 2-mile jog can feel like an accomplishment to me if I'm doing fuck-all else, and just taking that small a step often helps me get motivated for bigger things.

Yeah I agree with that, I'm slowly on the path that I had marked out for myself which eventually leads me to my destiny. I mean, I really know that I'm destined for greatness.

Well for one it's a ridiculously oversaturated major:

http://www.psychology.heacademy.ac.uk/docs/pdf/p20050412_EnhancingEmployability.pdf
"less than 20% of psychology graduates continue on to professional training, with the majority seeking employment in other or related fields"

And a lot of the time you have to complete graduate studies in order for your degree to mean shit:

http://money.cnn.com/2000/12/08/career/q_degreepsychology/
"With more than 40 percent of undergraduates in the field eventually going on to law school, business school or some other professional program, the social sciences major ranks among the highest in post-graduate academic attainment."

Plus it's just pretty 'weak-minded' as far as the sciences go. When you take chemistry or physics there's this very complex and elegant set of theories, formulas and mathematical equations to explain what goes on in the world. Psychology, on the other hand, often bases its knowledge on things like... questionnaires. Hmm...

Psychology is not a science imo. There are no definite rules to follow, etc. Studying human thought/action is interesting and you can learn things about interaction, but it is not a science.

Well its pretty much common knowledge that a BA or BS in Psych is useless, which is why I plan to go on to into grad school once I get my degree (plus to be a psychotherapist in the first place you would need a doctorate level degree).

And I would agree that its not a science either, but thats because human cognition is so complex, which makes it all the more interesting.

I agree. I enjoyed my Psych and history classes the most in college, and the two are very closely connected.

 

[damnromulans]

History was kind of a stupid major in retrospect on accounta I have no plans to go to grad school. I seen lots of history majors from my school doing well in their careers, but most of them have trust funds.

I'm on hiatus from the "real world" at the moment and to be honest this is great and kind of what I need. Keep telling myself I'll have a vision of clarity and truth before I move back to USA.

 

[Eligos]

2day I seen dis lady wit rilly big boobs an I gots a boner

 

[zabu of nΩd]

I gave myself a boner today.

I do that a lot actually.

 

[damnromulans]

I don't mind "seen" if used ebonics-ly but it is unforgivable when rural white people done used it huh hyuck

 

[Satanstoenail]

I emailed them again tonight and finally got an apologetic reply saying the order has been shipped. Apparently there was a delay due to the huge amount of orders they got all at once. So yay, I hope. Although they called me Phil, which is not my name...

Update: Got home from work today to find they have finally arrived. Hurrah! And they addressed it to me and not this Phil character. AND I got some bonus Wormed stickers.

 

[st3333phani3333]

I hate when people tag photos. "75 tagged photos of you." is what I woke up to. If I wanted them, I would of got them.

 

[Caecius]

I love being tagged in photos, because I never upload any myself. Saves me the trouble.

 

[Chanakya]

Same here. Except that multiple copies of the same photo/similar angle are tagged by different people, which is annoying.
