fffffffuck grad school
honors
thesis
Thinking about the future gets me so anxious good golly. I WORRY THAT I AM TOO DUMB FOR THEM. I have not become chums with any of my profs, I have no scholarships, I lack psych-relevant volunteer work, and my marks are ACTUALLY NOT AS GOOD AS PEOPLE SEEM TO SUSPECT THEY ARE. I am terrified that I have screwed myself over by not trying hard enough and that it might be too late to turn it around. My prof keeps mentioning how incredibly hard it is to get into grad school for clinical psych and I am pretty much ready to pee my pants in terror.
Maybe if I am really really lucky I can be a research assistant for a semester, but again uh no scholarships no friendships with profs and my GPA isn't even high enough to qualify for honors yet, let alone get into a competitive thing with like... six openings for all psych undergrads in the whole school, tops.
Maybe it will be a better idea to meet with a career counsellor. Then I can see what my life options are if all I can achieve is a Bachelor's. :'|
Man my car could stand to get a washing. Better do that tonight. Also: laundry. Also: a lecture about the difficulties of getting into grad school for psych majors tomorrow. I should go. I think I can afford to miss one Anthro class, since this sounds a lot more life-relevant.
