If you’ve ever taken any type of psychology class, you probably now consider yourself an expert on certain ideas or philosophies and you now try to psychoanalyze your friends for fun. We’ve all done it, and it just proves that psychology can be fun sometimes. In my head, I place special emphasis on the word “sometimes” because I often found myself incredibly bored in my psychology class. A lot of this might have to do with the fact that my class was in a very old, dim lecture hall and it was full of nervous freshmen and my professor often spoke so quietly it was enough to put me to sleep. It was a taste of a college class, though, because most of the learning was based on whether or not you read the textbook and did your homework, so it was quite self-taught.
