Auditory Processing Problems
• *someone says something* “what?” *repeats themselves* “sorry?” *repeats themselves again* “pardon?”
•"hey, y'see the red thing at the top of the shelf, will you get it?“ “Sorry, what?” “On the sh-” “oh yeah sure, I’ll get it.”
•*doesn’t hear teacher because someone’s pen is making a scratchy sound at the back of the room*
•*replays video 10 ten times to figure out what they’re saying*
•teachers asking, “why do you always stop writing in the middle of a sentence, just write down whatever I’m saying,” followed by the response, “I’m just processing it,” rebuked by, “we’ll stop processing it and just write.”
•*gets really focused on staring out the window and goes through four songs without hearing a single on*
A witch puts a spell on a girl, a sleeping spell that promises the girl shall wake through true love’s kiss. Men come and kiss her. She slumbers. Women come and press their lips to hers, but still she sleeps. Many years past, and the girl remains still. One bright morning, a lost little boy finds her resting spot and clears the dust and grime from her face. He offers her a kiss on her forehead, and her eyes flutter open. She never feels romantic love for a man nor a woman, and she cares for the boy until the day she dies.
A young woman is imprisoned in a castle by a monstrously formed prince. The servants of the castle hope for them to fall in love, and when the spell is broken they assume their prayers have been answered. They are all surprised, but nonetheless pleased, when it is revealed to them that the young woman and prince are the truest of friends, and nothing more.
They say the kingdom is ruled by an evil queen, a woman who is incapable of loving. She is unmarried, she has no consorts, and she wishes for no partner. She is the wretched queen, the heartless queen. She must hate her daughter, for her daughter is beautiful, and women are incapable of liking another woman who’s prettier than themselves. It must be for this reason that the princess was sent away, not for how she was attacked by a man in the woods. They say the kingdom is ruled by an evil queen because she cannot love. The queen loves her daughter, and that is enough for them both.
There lives a prince who is forced to choose a bride at the ball. He meets many beautiful women, but find none which he loves. He spies one in a gorgeous gown and wonder in her eyes, and he dances with her all night long. The kingdom is sure he has found his bride. When the clock strikes midnight he tells her how he will never love a woman, or a man, in the way he is expected to. The beautiful woman smiles and tells him she expects nothing from him. The next morning the prince and the beautiful woman are missing, having run off together to see the world. They leave their shoes behind in their haste.
Many kinds of love exist. It doesn’t all have to be romantic.

tips for future and current psych majors from a psych major
know that psychology isn’t just having someone sit on a couch and talk about their feelings. there’s research, psychiatry (the more chemistry side of psych), music therapy, clinical psychology, counseling psychology, and so. much. more.
figure out your final goal. there are literally hundreds (ok i may be exaggerating) of different fields within psychology, so work backwards
do some research and determine a couple fields of psych that you may want to get a job in after you graduate. there’s research, therapy, clinical psychology, school psychology, etc. it doesn’t have to be one final choice, it could be more than one, but it’s good to narrow it down to a few and have an idea for your top choice.
take classes related to the fields you’ve chosen to help you get a better understanding of what your future career would be like, and from there figure out which class’ material you liked the best (material. not the best teacher). this will help you narrow down to your top choices and help you feel more confident in your goals.
know that you don’t really have to choose until maybe your 3rd or even 4th year of college. and even then, you don’t really have to choose until after you graduate and are looking for a job, but having a field in mind will help you feel more prepared for life after college
know that there is a lot of memorization. parts of the brain, different emotions, diseases, ground breaking studies; you will need to memorize all of these things. flash cards will become your best friend when memorizing this stuff.
brain diagrams are everywhere. a lot of psychology crosses over into neurology, and you’ll have to learn what specific parts of the brain are responsible for different functions. it helps to draw out these diagrams and color code them for each section of the brain. they don’t have to look pretty. an oval with a vertical line going down the middle is good enough to get the general idea of a brain.
expect big class sizes. 100 and 200 level psychology courses are common electives among non-psych majors, so know that a lot of your classes in your first year or two will most likely be lecture classes, meaning you’ll have to do the majority of the learning on your own. this is when it’s very important to hold yourself accountable for your learning and to study on a regular schedule.
take part in experiments if you can. pretty much every college has student-run research experiments that you can be a subject in (and sometimes they’ll pay you to participate). be a participant in as many as you can. not only are they fun and interesting, but they’ll give you a better understanding of what to expect in higher level courses.
know that your professors are there for you. most psych professors are the nicest people you’ll ever meet. and since they’re experts in psychology, they understand the stress you are under and they are typically more than happy to answer questions or even just be an ear to listen while you vent.
if you can, get ahead in your classes. look ahead in your text books, get notes from people who have already taken the class before, or just watch psych videos like Crash Course to familiarize yourself with stuff you’ll probably need to learn at some point. and this goes for every class/major. it’s a very easy way to not feel like you’re drowning when you have a difficult class. (i’m more than happy to share some of my psych notes with anyone! message me and i can send you some of my notes if you want!)
use yourself as a reference. a big part of psychology is personality and behavior, and you yourself are a prime example of a personality. take personality quizzes and find out more about yourself the help you learn why you are the way you are. it will give you a better understanding of how the brain works and it may help you make connections in some topics. (click here for one of my new favorite personality tests app)
if you have any questions, feel free to message me and ask! i’m an educational psycholgy (major) and special education (minor) student, and i’m going to start taking graduate level classes in a year to get a masters in educational psych, so hopefully i’ll be able to answer your questions to the best of my ability. and if not, hopefully i’ll at least be able to point you in the right direction! love you guys! - sam xx
dont care if i sound corny or cliche but to love and be loved back and not having to second guess where u stand in someones heart is such a warm and safe feeling & everyone should have the luxury and pleasure of having it always
I’m pretending all the time to be, kinder, stronger, funnier, more sociable than I am. I guess we’re all like that but it just feels so inadequate.

i hate the idea of a True Self that you Never Show To Anyone like the me by myself isn’t me partly because humans are defined imo by their social interactions as we are social creatures but mostly because that guy is a gremlin. the disgusting idiot who crawls out of my bed at 1pm and eats peanut butter from the jar isn’t me he’s the manifestation of a collection of weird impulses that all give way at once. saying that dude is Truly Me In An Objective Way, as if that exists, is such bullshit like [holds up a creature that is on the cusp of going insane because its species literally cannot be alone for any significant amount of time] behold, a True Self! give me a break

“Is it true?”
“Is what true?” you asked, leaning closer to your phone to check your lipstick in the screen mirroring your image back to you. You rubbed your ring finger over your lips, smoothing the creases in the color out.
“That they’ve casted the male lead for your movie,” your best friend replied, unfazed by your actions.
“You know I’m not supposed to tell you. They make official announcements for a reason, you know,” you pointed out, pulling your phone away so you could fully see Kailee again.
“Aren’t there any perks to being the childhood best friend of a famous actress?” she playfully whined.
You rolled your eyes. “Kails,” you started, using your nickname for her, “just ask the real question you wanna know.”
“Is it true Taehyung Kim is going to be in your movie? The actual fucking beautiful, man-of-my-fucking-dreams Taehyung Kim?”
“When have you ever talked about him before?” you feigned nonchalance. You immediately started to turn the volume down on your phone, prepared for Kailee’s screaming that was surely about to sound through your FaceTime app.
“Y/N!” Kailee stated to yell. You pushed down the teasing smile that wanted to leak from your lips. “DO YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME?! Tae. Hyung. Kim,” she enunciated his name. “I’ve talked about him since his very first role in America when he was just that extra that delivered coffee and said the first line that ever made my heart race for him.” She took a deep breath, lowering her voice several octaves to match his as she said, “‘An iced coffee with half-and-half and a vanilla sweet cream cold brew.’” She sighed dreamily. “I dreamed about Starbucks for a week after that.”
You couldn’t stop yourself. You burst out laughing. “Oh, him!” you pretended to suddenly recognize the name.
“Y/N, don’t even play with me, especially if the rumor is true! Please just promise that you’ll take me with you to set for one day. Please, please, please, please, please, pl—”
“I already do take you to set at least once every film, Kails,” you reminded her.
“But, Y/N, please, if it really is Taehyung, you have to take me with you. I’d actually die if I got to see that smile in person.” She looked like she was about to faint on the other end of the phone. You rolled your eyes at how dramatic she was.
“They’re making the announcement tomorrow. Can’t you wait until then?” you asked, pulling your phone away so you could look out the window. You were only a block or so away from the studio. You were going to have to hang up soon.
Kailee sighed even louder. “Fine,” she dragged the word out. “I can wait until tomorrow with all of the other peasants. Why are you so cruel to me, Y/N?” she whined.
“I’m gonna have to hang up, Kails. I’m almost to the studio.”
“You’re already working on the film?!” her shrieking tone almost burst your eardrum.
“For fuck’s sake, calm down, Kailee,” you demanded after seeing the disapproving look your chauffeur sent you through the rearview mirror. “We’re doing readings already, that’s it. Filming will start in another three weeks after he gets here. I’m hanging up now.”
“‘After he gets here’?” Kailee echoed. “So it is Taehyung! Oh my god, you’re going to get to look into the most beautiful eyes ever graced upon a man. I’m so fucking jealous of you! Are you going to get to kiss him??”
“The script is for a Christmas rom-com, Kailee. What do you think?”
She screamed. “OH MY GOD IT’S GOING TO BE THE BIGGEST MOVIE OF THE SEASON! I’M ACTUALLY DYING RIGHT NOW!”
“Goodbye, Kailee,” you said with a roll of your eyes, ending the call before she could say anything else. You turned your attention to your chauffeur as he approached the gates to the studio lot. “Do you think she’s right, George? You think it’s going to be the hottest movie of the season?”
