Two ways, and it is much greater than the subject material, or what you memorize for the final exam.\n\n1. It fosters an an environment of learning and exploration. This is extremely critical in many professions, and is a side effect of the course material.\n\n2. The basics of human interaction, and behavior can be applied in almost any workgroup setting to create a more productive work output. Once you start to understand others, your choices for how to interact with them increase multifold. Freshman psychology starts you out on this path.

explain how you would help the incoming freshman with figuring out where classes were and for the first month or so of freshman year the freshman could meet with their senior buddies like once a week to ddiscuss problems or whatever.  You could also plan activities once a month for the freshman.  And have like a question answer box for the freshman to put anonymous questions in if they are embarassed and the questions could then be answered.

No, I just graduated and the only thing you have to worry about is the workload depending on the classes you take. It's a good idea to focus on your schoolwork and your close friends, but don't be afraid of the other students. As a new freshman, high school can be scary, but don't worry it's not nearly as bad as its rep fortells.

College can be a stressful time, due to leaving high school friendships behind, moving away from family, budget shortfalls, and hard work.\nThere are seven avenues of gaining emotional strength to buffer your emothinal health against stressful changes, they are:\nFriends\nFamily\nHealth\nMeaningful work\nLove\nSpiritual\nFinancial.\nMany of these are in short supply during college years.  Think about going to your college health center and talking about depression.  Most colleges have support services that can guide you into a more robust rounded life that gives you more places to turn for support.

It was the best of times... it was the worst of times....   Well, the majority of people tend to look fondly upon their college years.  However, looking at it realistically, it did have its ups and downs. \n\nThe volume of homework and tests is going to vary depending on your school and the major you've chosen.  As a Freshman (assuming the school you attend isn't highly specialized), you will take mostly "general education" courses and perhaps a few elective courses (perhaps some lower-level courses in your major). These classes can help you balance out the more difficult classes.  These "Gen Ed" courses will expose you to a variety of subjects and learning styles.  Use them to learn about yourself and how you study: if you're a self-motivated student, maybe you'll crave a class that doesn't have a lot of structure; if you crave order and need to be told what you study and when, then seek out classes with highly-structured syllabi that will keep you on track.  \n\nI took many classes where 75% of my time was spent reading, which made it seem like I was always done with a week's worth of work in a matter or hours. Of course, this reading was really just preparation for several LARGE papers that I would later write as midterms or final exams.  In my case, I knew that this was the learing style I preferred -- I wasn't a procrastinator and I could be self-directed when necessary.  \n\nIf this is not your style, don't worry; there are classes for every learning style. Some schools offer lots of small classes; others rely heavily on lectures.  Both have their perks. Students who like to disappear into the crowd and learn without drawing a lot of attention to themselves can fare well in a lecture course.  Students who like to ask lots of questions and prefer direct pupil-to-teacher instruction might like small classes.  \n\nBottom line: of all the factors that differentiate college from high school, classes are by no means the biggest one.  If you have been hard-working and driven throughout your high school education -- and if you know how to handle yourself when you've been given a lot of work -- then you should be able to carry this through to your college experience.  The biggest change you'll experience will be the great levels of freedom and independence suddenly thrust upon you.  Don't be afraid to make changes (add/drop classes; find a new roommate, etc.) until you find a situation that works for you.  And, if you're having a tough time and you think everyone around you has it all together, remember this: they don't.

You should sit down with an advisor in the Department of Psychology at your school (or potential school) and discuss this.  The advisor will help you to make a plan based on your previous experience, number of credits you are going to take per term, and so forth.  Then you'll have a schedule that you can easily follow for your college career, and you'll know exactly how long it will take you.

By keeping your goal in sight, whatever it is. Prioritize what you need to do to get the job done, then just do it. And give yourself a reward when you're done. If you can remember that the reward is waiting, that sometimes makes the job go better. Being under pressure is never really fun, but some people thrive on pressure and do some of their best work. Sometimes it's good to put some pressure on yourself. It helps to stretch yourself to new levels you never reached before. Besides, if you're not in college yet, it's good practice for when you will be. Talk about pressure...I don't know how some of those kids get all that work done, plus get decent grades. But, it's all about focus, and a determination to get the job done...correctly...the first time. <*)))><

First, if you're still in high school, find a job that either deals with child care, tutoring, or working at a school. It is also good to get into some child psychology classes at school, etc. Also,  you can volunteer at a school with their after school programs.\n\nDepending on the field that you want to get into, find a good college. If you're looking at elementary education, check out U-WI River Falls...amazing school! Also, when you get into school, get involved with tutoring and after school volunteering programs. Make sure you  have jobs that deal with working with kids and teaching! \n\nGood luck!!

Essam,\n\nI have to disagree with you. Dreams to exist but you need to set goals in order to achieve them. One goal you can start with is to have more self-esteem. You need to realize that no one can work hard at the things that want in life unless they set out to do so!\n\nYou sound a bit depressed and I can tell why you do. The harsh fact in reality is too many people give up and someone else comes along and obtains or achieves their goals.\n\nIf you are looking for work after graduation you need to start now. Check with your career services department at your college or university and ask for help with creating a resume, ask if they provide on campus interviews and ask for any career help you think you need.\n\nAnother thing you can do is set realistic short term and long term goals for yourself. Write them down and check off the ones you complete. You will be surprised how much you CAN achieve it you see it for yourself!\n\nAffirm what you want to be on a daily basis. Write these down and repeat them aloud EVERY DAY! If you hear what you want to accomplish in life you will start to believe it. Try it out and you'll see.\n\nFind a mentor or someone you can trust to help you along the way. If you find a positive role model that can make a difference in your life this will help you tremendously.\n\nAnd lastly don't get depressed. Whatever you are going through you can do it if you....TRY hard! Don't compare yourself to anyone because you don't know the glory behind their story.\n\nDon't give up and keep reaching for what you want. Your life is only beginning because after graduation, the real fun begins. If you have a positive and optimistic attitude you will be able to cope and deal with the everyday pressure of life.\n\nI hope this info has encouraged you tremendously.\n\nGod Bless.....

psychology, social science, arts, or join the basketball team and make millions (something i wish i did) it's not that hard if you apply yourself and have the motivation to do well. if you start off with like 12 creds then it will be a breeze but keep in mind that you'll have to up it unless you want make college a 5 or 6 year plan instead of 4. 15 creds should be enough with some summer classes about 9. most college tests are multiple choice and are very straight forward, but this is just my exp with my college and i pick teachers (via ratmyporfessors.com) that are good at what they do or teach the power-points they provide and not just recite the book and test you on arbitrary and minuscule facts. your first semester or so (depending on your sat scores) will determine what classes you take i.e. English classes and math classes. with psy you have to take a stats class and focus around stats but this is just and aspect of psy which is not a fundamental part of the subject, you could do clinical or social psych and make a decent amount, but i/o psy makes the most but there you have to have stats knowledge (but this can be averted with spss). English or taking a foreign lang would be helpful since you would be able to teach this to others which can bring in some cash under-the-table. i hear geologist make good money but you have to take chem which if you dont like math, you might hate chem.

It can help you to understand what factors influence us as humans and what specific factors have helped to shape us into the individuals we are currently.  I don't believe psychology is THE answer to all life's problems..and I don't think it's a cure-all.  (And I was a Psych major in college.)  It's just a tool to help discover oneself and offer potential solutions to problems.\n\nThe link below has some very interesting sites you can peruse.  Psychology is multi-faceted, so you may want to narrow your search to your specific area of inquiry.  Just check out the list to the right on that page.

If you are attending college, even in high school, there are assessment tests available for you to help with your career choice.  There should also be career councilors to help you interpret the assessment.  The other thing to do is do your own personal assessment.  What do you want to do?  What kind of income do you want to make?  How many hours are you willing to put in each week?  What things interest you?  Do your own brainstorming as well.

for a freshmen, i dont think they offer it\ny have to wait untill ur in the second year of highschool. i suggest u join a few clubs as a freshmen, u seem like a smart person, ur choices are limited, not unavailable. also if ur not too busy with school, check out the career center for job options, and college info, according to the government and schools, at freashmen year, ur suppose to be looking at colleges, and creating a plan, also take a SAT, ACT and such. next year, ur suppose to work for that goal, know where ur planing on going, and send a request of info to that school. \n\ntheses are some of the things u can be doing, of course these are ideals, and almost no one follow these ideals.. personally u look like ur in good shape

Your first semester will be the most difficult.....it's a big adjustment.  Not everyone arrives at college with the same background/level of knowledge.  Once you get thru your initial classes you should be on a more level playing ground with your fellow students.\n\nIf you work, consider cutting back your hours.  Or consider withdrawing from the course that either requires most of your time or that you are doing the worst in.  You may be overextended.  You are only one person, and there are only 24 hours in a day.  \n\nBut before you withdraw from any classes, first check to see that if you repeat a class the old grade will be removed from your GPA.  Also, check to see if there is a limit on the number of classes you can withdraw from.  \n\nStudy groups are THE best way to get thru a difficult class.  Also see if there is any free tutoring.  DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED TO ASK FOR HELP.  \n\nBefore every test make an appointment with the teacher, explain you are having trouble, and ask if there is anything you should concentrate on during your studying.  Sometimes in this way you get hints as to what will be on the tests.
