Hello everyone!! Its halfway through 2019 and we have all started another chapter of our life. The first week of school felt really really foreign to me and its probably because it’s a totally new environment and everybody are new faces. So! To break the ice, I shall start with my introduction 🙂
My name is Cynthia, and I was born on 29 December 1999,(yes, it’s 2 days before new year’s). I am turning 20 this year and the reality of being an adult still hasn’t hit me yet. OMG HELPS I am so not ready to adult.
Before I continue, here are some pictures of the young me trying to ace my photo shoot HAHAHA: (fun fact: My mum once told me that I was rejected as a child model for being too chubby. Oh wells)
Anyways, more about myself! I have a carefree and optimistic personality, and look like I have absolutely no worries about anything. But actually, sometimes I freak out on the inside HAHA. I’m kind of a procrastinator as well, actually no, it’s all the time.(Honestly, my new year’s resolution was to procrastinate less but I think I failed on the first day of the year), so if you ever hear me procrastinating, please scold me thanks. Also, when there’s free time to spare, I mostly enjoy being outdoors, with my friends, and just spending the day chilling at a cafe or occasionally doing something thrilling for the adrenaline rush.
I graduated this year from Republic Polytechnic with a Diploma in Pharmaceutical Science. The 3 years of studying pharmaceuticals was fun, but it wasn’t totally enjoyable and that’s what made me realised that pharmaceuticals wasn’t what I wanted to pursue as a career, and this brings me onto my next point:
Why psychology?
My interest in psychology started out when I had a volunteer opportunity to help out at MINDS. After spending some time interacting with the kids there, I had a lot of questions about mental health and illness and it kind of sparked my interest towards psychology. I found myself wanting to understand more about these special needs kids and what can I do to be able to help them out in the future.
I hope that through this course, I will be able to understand more about the mind and behaviour of people and hopefully be able to help them out as a child psychologist.
BCM 110
As technology has been constantly advancing along the years, the media has became an essential in our everyday life. With this advancement, it has impacted our communication level as well as mental health in one way or another.
I believe this module will allow myself to see the bigger picture of how technology has impacted people and understand more about the connection between technology and psychology, and hopefully aid me in my future career.
With that, I shall end my blog here. Thank you for taking the time to read this post and I hope we will all be able to get along well with each other for the next 3 years.
Cheers to the start of our 3 years, friends!! 🙂
