Hi everyone! So, it is that point in the semester when every professor or instructor assigns a million assignments to complete. But don’t worry, I have some suggestions on how to stay sane during this stressful time! Before I start, just an important reminder: you are resilient, and you got this! I have received some questions to talk about today that I will go into detail.

In choosing to study psychology, I thought applying these psychological principles to my own life would come naturally. But sadly, I have not found this to be the case, as I have recently faced head-on the challenge of applying the concepts I have learnt as a student researcher to myself. by Justin Brass
The challenge that many of us face when entering the field of psychology is to bring to light the ways in which masculinity in science has operated over time, and within various cultures, without reenacting history by the exclusion of women or femininity from the discipline. However, in order for women to be able to practice psychology there were (and still are) many obstacles before feminism and scientific advancement can become truly cohesive. by Ella Rigby
If, like me, you’ve been trying to fill your social media feed with more positivity, you’ve seen the words "self compassion" crop up with greater frequency. Self compassion has been a popular topic not just on social media but among psychology and psychotherapy researchers with over 1600 studies on the benefits of self compassion in 2018 (Kirby, 2016; Neff, 2018). Research shows that self compassion is an effective strategy for improving the relationship with yourself and others, for maintaining emotional regulation, and improving your psychological well being (Kirby, 2016). by the GetPsyched Blog Committee: Alexandra B., Ally S., Ella R., Nida A. and Sandhya S.

Given the nature of the ever-changing job market and the state of the world, searching for a job is a different experience for everyone. Whether it’s a change or development in an industry’s practices or a literal global pandemic, a myriad of variables can change what the job search process looks like every couple of months. The process is even more varied for co-op programs: you’re a student, you’re looking for entry-level positions most of the time, and you’re consistently trying to apply for jobs while also taking courses and staying involved in school. For some Psychology students, it isn’t hard to find the job they want. And that’s great for them! With Experience Guelph and/or their personal networks as resources, some students are more than confident in their abilities to find the best suited role for them. But for others, like me, job searching was a strenuous and time-consuming activity. I don’t think it had to be – in fact, if I knew a couple insider tricks before I started, I might’ve been less hard on myself during the whole process. |
