Psychology: Fun and Fascinating
If you’re psyched about psychology, that makes you pretty smart. Why? Because studying psychology is studying the human condition, which means you’ll have insight into why people behave the way they do.
What shapes your personality? How do you grow and change throughout life? When you learn about psychology, you’ll better understand other people, and you’ll understand yourself better, too! You’ll also learn communications skills that will help your studies and help in your career, like how to structure an argument, discuss a topic clearly and objectively, and do research.
