Transcript

I study psychology. I study psychology. Oh my god, dad! I study psychology! I have three exams this week. I have 13 page paper to write. I have research, two lab reports, and my homework isn't even psychology anymore. It's statistics and research methods. I study psychology. Wait, so can you read my mind? What did you just say to me? I study psychology, okay? I came back. Yes, I came back to grad school because I couldn't find a job with just a bachelor's. So I still study psychology at the age of 23 years old when I should have a career, I should have a starting family. But no, I study psychology.
