Answer:-
Here is the true experience of a Psychology student:
- My life as a psychology student began in my junior college (after tenth standard). I was keen to take up the subject, and encountered it for the first time in my first year of junior college. I studied in regular classrooms in my city. Officially, I studied psychology from then till I cleared my UGC SET and UGC NET exams - a total of about 8 consecutive years. I still consider myself a student of psychology though, for there is so much new to learn and so much of the old to revise all the time.
- In my running nine and a half years of experience as a student of psychology, I consider the following aspects most noteworthy:
- I am very happy that I chose to major in psychology, for it has not been just a subject for study in my life, but a way of living. It has directly impacted my everyday life - it has changed the way I think, feel and behave. I have found a treasure of resources to deal with the problems in my life, and more importantly, induce a lot of meaning in my life.
- A distinctive part of being a student of psychology is having to perform practical, human-based research. And I absolutely loved doing that. It really gave me an opportunity to test whether I could take what I learnt in theory to the practical world. The interactions during such practicals with juniors and classmates were also memorable.
- Internship is also an important aspect of being a psychology student. I interned as a counselor in a school for adolescents. Another memorable experience. Knowing people at a deeper level, beyond how we perceive them in quick, everyday interactions really opens the mind. I can’t imagine having such experiences in any other area of study.
- I did a lot of reading and referencing as a student. The best part was that I could read reference books of psychology with as much love as I would read a novel. I found that the more I explored, the more I wanted to explore further. Even ‘textbooks’ of psychology made for easy reading! The subject is so interesting, and so relevant that I never found a boring minute with it.
- Preparing for examinations was challenging on two accounts - one because there was so much theory to remember, and two because the practicals were treated as if they were something dire. I really wish I had had appropriate guidance then on how to deal with essay-type answers for I found that I knew a lot, but did not know how to adapt it to the examination format. I also wish that I was allowed to enjoy my practicals more, for even during examinations, the practicals had a lot of elements of fun. I performed well, but I think I could have done even better had I been guided more appropriately, and allowed to be more relaxed. That’s something I see a lot in my students as well - there is a strong need to make the subject matter and examination format more student-friendly without compromising on the quality of the content. A lot of students lose their passion for the subject because of the vagueness associated with it.
- Finally, studying by myself was fun - as I mentioned earlier, I loved my psychology books. Also, I found that the psychology course builds upon itself. I was encountering the same topics over and over again from junior college till my masters - but with much greater depth as my levels progressed. That really kept my interest going. When I prepared for my competitive examinations, I had the opportunity to do a lot of referencing since there was no clear-cut textbook that I could refer to. That a took a lot of my time, but it was all worth it.
- In sum, I had an excellent journey - though not perfect, it had a lot going for it that made it memorable. I consider having been a student of psychology one of the most prominent determinants of my life today.
