All Psyched Up

As most people probably know by now, my status has changed from 'being a good citizen' to 'wrecking your parents' wallets'.  Haha.  Yup, I have decided to pursue my study =) and to make it even worse for my parents, I chose to major in psychology.  I still remember the look on their faces, it was priceless =)  They both thought I was going to learn about crazy people and would spend the rest of my life in mental institution.  Haha you're so funny, Mom and Dad!  People in those places already have a hard time that I don’t think I have the heart to make them suffer even more with my presence there, I promised =)

Why psychology?  Do I get excited by studying about mental illness?  Perhaps I am.  Mental illness is often associates with psychotic disorders, extreme stress and yes, crazy people. Little that the public know that mental illness is not just about these hardcore disorders.  Even a simple case like child bullying is considered as mental illness.  But that's not my main interest.  Before I decided to study psychology, I did several research about myself and was torn between two roads: either to take culinary arts (so that I can finally learn how to make perfect omelette) or psychology (I can learn to read minds).  Since I know I can read better than cook (I admit I'm the worse cook in the world but yet nobody die from eating my cooking) so I think my future will be brighter in psychology haha.

I know the road that I chose is not a bed of roses. I get weird stares from people whenever I mention that I’m doing psychology but this is the challenge I have to do to fulfil my role in society.  Wish me luck!!
