It’s Here!!!
One Week Left!
I’m on track for my final so far. It’s due Friday and it still feels like I have a lot to do. However, I am making progress! For the most part, I have all my research already done. A few journals ago I mentioned that I might talk about genetics in my final, but I …
Crunch Time!
I don’t have much time left! It’s okay though because I will get through this! I pretty much have all my information ready to go. I don’t think I’ll need any new resources but I’m not ruling that out yet. I feel like I could talk about so much so I feel overwhelmed. This weekend …

Interview #2
For my second interview, I talked to Dr. Burshteyn, who is the Department Chair of Psychology for Siena College. I interviewed him over Zoom so it was a little more helpful. He made me rethink some of my ideas about happiness. One idea that he made me question was how I look at my fears …
Interview #1
The first interview I did, was with a professor named Joshua Hart from Union college. I learned a lot from this interview but it wasn’t as interactive as I wanted to be because it was over email. That being said it made me think about other factors that I haven’t considered before. One factor that …
