Hi,
My name is Orla. I'll make this short. I'm single, in my third year of college, and a Christian. I have spent some time reading here and I am learning a lot and of course I have a lot of questions...

I'm excited to be here and am looking forward to gaining some fresh perspectives. I look forward to getting to know everyone!
Hail King Jesus!

Thanks for the welcome. I'm studying Social Science and psychology with the intention to maybe engage in social work or child counseling. I'm still working it all out.

I love to study so I'm just enjoying the ride.

Welcome Orla. I presume you are young. Might I suggest in addition to your chosen major, you double major or at lease add another minor field such as welding, mechanics, drafting, engineering, or carpentry to your curriculum vitae. To be a psychologist in today's climate generally means you will work in a moral sewer with lots of people who neither want, nor can be helped. Psychologists and Psychiatrists have an extremely high rate of suicide, health problems, and mental illness because they work in a moral sewer. Imagine landing a job profiling molestors, rapists, and the like; or providing recommendations to courts full of judges who are more sociopathic than Chuck Manson. I'm not being facetious; psychology and psychiatry mostly have you working for the most sadistic criminals of all: lawyers, cops, judges, and social service thugs.
I call it good to have a skillset for a fallback when you want out of mental sewage land.

Vandal, thanks for the advice. I can't hardly stomach some of the psycho babble in these books and if anyone used these methods, you'd have to eventually medicate them. It's good advice to look into a trade. I'll certainly take a look in that direction...this will the third time this week I've had this random advice come at me...

Orla, that is the plan, to get medicated as many of us as possible!
