2/100 Days of Productivity

I am absolutely thrilled to be back! What better way to kick this off than by bringing back the 100 Days of Productivity series. Seeing as I am so far behind with the catching up (did any of you follow that?), I'll be posting as many of these as I can during the weeks that follow. However, if all else fails, I'll be giving one on every Friday, no matter what.

Let's jump right back in with a throwback to Day 2 of the 100 Days of Productivity Challenge!

Pictured above is what my day consisted of on Wednesday, 21 October 2016. I had stayed up a little late the night before to finish the case notes peeking out from behind my bullet journal. Seeing those case notes brings warm memories because they were part of the moments I really began to feel psychology being a perfect fit for me. There is always a concern with the material being learned as opposed to being applied or, at the very least, seeing how it can be applied. My Abnormal Psychology professor found a way to help us apply the material we were studying in class with the case studies, the PTSD case study was the first case study I chose to do. 

We could choose from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Panic Disorder, Hoarding Disorder, or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. We did have to read them all but we had to choose one to write our case study summary exam on. In other words, we chose one to delve in depth to, to basically memorize and then write about in an in-class exam. Each one of the case studies were impactful in their own way. For example, we learned that there is a very big difference from the way OCD is colloquially and the way it is used medically. The difference and severity of the condition known as OCD was so incredible that I chose never again to joke about someone being OCD.

I finally felt like I was soaking up psychological knowledge. This, despite the love-hate relationship I had with the professor, was what kept me going. It goes to show that you do not have to "like" the professor to do well in a class. I communicated insecurities and uncertainties with her whenever they arose and she was very keen on making sure I stayed on track. My problem with her was the workload, it was not anything personal. In the end, I loved her and her class and find myself missing it, more often than not.

The other thing I got done that day was get advised for my Spring 2016 semester. I have to say, I was more than excited to do so because it would be planning my final semester at LaGuardia. It feels like it was just yesterday I was planning, but I can say now that I am officially done with LaGuardia Community College. It's bittersweet. Regardless. The classes I planned to take are listed in the first picture of this post. Unfortunately, I ended up not being able to take Psychology of Women and opted to take First-Year Seminar for Psychology instead. I am glad I did so! More on that some other time, though.

Next Up: Day 3!
