Major: Psychology
Year: Freshman
Do you have a favorite class at the moment?
Yes I do — my psychology class (Intro to Psych) with Kenneth Gardiner. It’s a little bit long and a little bit tedious, but it’s psych, and as cliche as it sounds, it’s my major, so I love it.
Who or what influenced you the most in your choice of major?
Honestly, my ex-boyfriend. I wasn’t really sure what I was doing as a major, and two years back we were all talking about picking colleges, and he said “you know what, you talk to people all the time and fix their problems, maybe you’d make a good therapist of some kind.” So I started looking into psychology, started learning a little more about it and decided that I absolutely loved it.
What do you think of USM’s decision to make election day a school holiday?
I like it, another day off. I also think it would encourage people to vote because they won’t be in classes. They don’t have an excuse if they’re a registered voter not to cast their vote.
Are you doing anything for St. Patrick’s Day?
Not really. I’m going to class. I’m going to my soc class and then I’m going to art, and that will be about it – that will be my wonderful holiday, as bad as that sounds.
