Post 9 - Dear AP Psych Student...

                                          Dear AP Psych students,                                            The single and most important any former psychology student could give you is to do your vocab! It is quite tedious and it will take quite a bit of time but it is absolutely worth it. The two times I decided not to do I could see how it negatively affected my overall grade. It's good having a safety net just in case you do badly on the unit test.                                            The project that I enjoyed most in the emotion project. I enjoyed looking through songs that I have heard previously to identify the emotions present in them. I was...

                                                                  Addictions  An addiction can strike a person when they least expect it, as they’re trying to handle an increase in their workload, childcare or child-rearing, mental health issues, family issues, or for no reason whatsoever.

These symptoms include: cravings; continued use despite health problems; regular over-consumption; worry about over-use; negative impact on relationships with others; using in a dangerous or problematic situation; giving up activities due to use; spending a lot of time using or trying to use; giving up or having a significant negative impact at work, school, or with some other set of responsibilit...

Post 6 - Personality Tests

I am the ENFJ type. ENFJ's are the benevolent "pedagogues"of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn unto their nurturing. I scored the highest in the judging category and people with the Judging preference want things to be neat, orderly and established which I do identify with. This test said that that I performed very poorly. I got extremely bored during the test and stopped giving much effort for the hard questions. I wasn't surprised with this result due to the very little effort I put into it but I do not think it is a good measure of IQ.              The results showed that I was introverted, agreeable, conscientious, conventional and apparently a little neurotic. I was not surprised with the first few characteristic but the neuroticism shocked me . Although I don't agree with the neurotic part, in other ways the test was pretty accurate.                   ...

https://www.pancan.org/news/tips-to-improve-the-taste-of-food-during-treatment/                                           When undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer there are many side effects, one being that patients may face is a change in how they experience food. Sometimes medications added to treatment regimens can also alter taste and often, the mouth can become dry, and this too can impact taste. One of the tips are that patients can try rinsing or cleaning their mouth just prior to eating using a non-alcohol mouth rinse, anything that contains alcohol is too abrasive. Another is that certain foods can taste unpleasant to some patients, if this is the case, try foods that do not offer complex tastes, and are instead more bland and simple (i.e. use a mild sauce with pasta, or go without sauce altogether). This makes sense to me because when a family friend ...

                                                        I was born on the 15th of June weighing 7 pounds. I crawled for time when I was 9 months, I walked for the first time when I was a year old, said my first word when I was a year old as well and it was dada.  - I am part of Dulles high school's class of 2019 which means I am graduating this year on may 23rd. I hope that my cousins from Florida can come to Houston around this time because it would mean a lot to me.  - I going to go to a nearby university for the first two years and hopefully move out for the last two years because I do not want to miss out too much on my little sister growing up because she is 10 years younger than me.  - I want to get married when I have a good career, financially stable and find the guy that is most compatible with me and...

                                            My birthday is on the 15th of June, so I have  the occipital   lobe  and norepinephrine . My hero's name is Super Visualizer. Her powers are to encourage people to make the best out of stressful situations that they see or encounter. She used to be stressed out person and often induced stress in others due to her stern personality. Then one day she decided to help out out a stressed out guy who was secretly a psychology superhero and she woke up the next day as a superhero herself. She had the ability to make others see visuals that prevented them from being over stressed and encourages them to do everything to the best of their abilities in such stress inducing situations. If there is a group of stressed out accountants during tax season, Super Visualizer can make them all see puppies running around the office to p...
