The original meaning of Psychology was the “study of the soul.” Now, through time, it has been twisted and turned into the study of the human mind. You sit in class as a bearded man is preaching to you, the functions of the mind and brain, your conscious and subconscious, that you have no control over. But how? How can my mind and soul be controlled without my knowledge? What is making me remain seated to write, and what is making you read and listen to me blab about nonsense that you don’t have a care for? Is that the unknown subconscious, is that my subconscious? The study of the mind and soul, yet you and I have no idea of the unknown. Psychology is the study of behavior and how the mind functions. Each branch that you explore has a deeper meaning than it portrays; all of that living inside the brain attached to your neck, surrounded by nerves and flesh, and muscle, and hard, spongy bone protecting those branches. The original meaning, “study of the soul,” is so close to yet so far from the science of Psychology.

Ever since I started math in elementary school its always been my least favorite subject. Something about it makes it the hardest subject to learn for me. Some people make math look simple but when I try I fail and make it seem difficult. Math is different from other subjects because you cant write a story or learn a verb, you have to substitute letters for numbers, memorize formulas, and measure shapes. Exams in math are more difficult than other exams because there is often only one right answer for each problem. I can enjoy math sometimes when I start to understand the topic and it becomes simple to complete, but when the class moves into a different unit I get lost again. Even though I don’t enjoy math it’s important for many jobs and it helps to understand the world better. The only concept I find confusing about math are the formulas, they are supposed to make math easier to solve but formulas make solving problems more confusing than it needs to be. An academic subject I actually do enjoy is writing creatively because there isn’t one specific right answer and I think it helps to become a more creative person.
