coughing has nothing to do with getting high, coughing makes u light headed, try having a cough attack randomly without smoking, youll feel light headed, add the weed and people think it feels like stronger weed when its not

also im a psychology major

Cough hard enough you will get a headache. Then you will be battling a headache while stoned.

Heyyy YEahh Pixel you were what I was fishing for on the side, hey

What is doing that route like?
How hard is it for a slightly above average student (but gifted for psychology and a certain sense of social intelligence, of which i've only recently discovered)to do well in a course like that?

whoa... harold and kumar...

well psychology is a broad and actually pretty vague field.. think of it liek a tree

youve got biological psychology involving the actual anatomy of the brain and how it works.. neural activity and such. research in this field involves a shit load of machines and mathematics. your classic white doctor's robe / clipboard researcher

then you've got your social psychologist who studies not what happens inside the brain but what the brain causes to happen on the outside of the body. social psychologists study how people think on their own, in groups, in certain emotional situations, etc. social psychologists usually end up in some type of therapy, whether it be a classic brown couch listener or disaster scene psychologist

another faction would be cognitive psychology which is a bit of a mix of the two. this section is populated by mostly behavioralists which believe human action is based on a mix of inherited traits, instinct, and environment. basically you are a product of your past experiences.

in each of these fields there are certain views and theories as to how the brain works.. consider them like the political views of psychology. since its such a new science there isn't that much set in stone yet, so a lot of speculation is still present. these are biological, behavorial, and humanist. then to each of these there is a different approach you can take (evolutionary, psychodynamic, cognitive, etc)

as far as the actual courses it's really just how dedicated you are. it's a fuck load of classic reading/remembering but it's extremely competitive and do not plan on going anyhwere at all in the field without at least a master's degree and preferably (very) a doctorate. so plan on being in school for a long time, working hard well the communication majors party their asses off, and paying loans up the ass if you plan on going to a good school. and if you do, take it from me, don't waste money on getting a bachelors at some ivy league joint, get your bachelors at a state school and dominate their courses and get your graduate at a nicer school.. you can put both degrees up on your office wall and people ALWAYS ask 'where he got his masters/doctorate' not 'where'd he go for that bachelors degree'


couple questions, what grade are you in right now? have you taken your SATs yet? how'd you do? especially on the reading section

I hardly ever cough. Gotta love bubblers =]

I prefer philosophy to psychology, each to their own.

[TheKidThatLovesMary]

i cough somtimes but not too much when i do cough i hate it. And that sounds really intresting i dunno if i'd wanna go to school for it but prolly be somthing fun to look up some time and read bits an pieces about.

I'm also a psychology major, I plan on getting a PhD/PsiD in Clinical Psychology, hopefully to help children if I can (In normal terms this means I'll be working with kids who have schizophrenia/bipolar/etc.)

I find cognitive psychology interesting, why people think the way they do. Biological Psych is OK but I'm not into Anatomy... Obviously all the clinical psych stuff I eat up.

Here's one article I recently found very interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases

I always take little bong hits so I don't cough. I don't enjoy coughing at all! Who would?
