The One Where We Sulk

-

 


Ahh! That is what psychology students mostly do, so we thought why not make our content out of it and start something new. With a little more craziness and hope that there will be more visitors to our page, coz a lil benefit doesn't hurt anybody.


Let the rant commence……..

Recently I went to a family function and met with a nightmare, sorry I meant relatives ;) Putting 2 and 2 together, yes the relatives were asking me for unsolicited advice yet again. I mean it kind of irks me to explain to everyone that we are not really qualified to treat or provide appropriate advice, we are still in college plus, hello? license?? I used to really have fun when a cousin studying MBBS would get bombarded with all sorts of questions like do I have this, do I have that…. but bro, now I feel you. 


Ughh, as usual I ranted to my friend about this, and you guessed it…..she also encountered a similar incident. She got a dm from a long lost friend for advice on how to cope with stress and anxiety and of course, we had a blast ranting about it, but it made me wonder, excuse my exaggeration ;) it was an eye opener, and definitely a different perspective to think from and that is maybe they are just trying to seek help with the limited information they possess. I mean c’mon we talk about awareness, we talk about mental health and positivity but somehow still fail to acknowledge the effort of that person :( Just because I'm saying this, does not mean I am criticizing us for ranting about this,(we have all the right to do so) I mean it's kind of natural but after that maybe we can give it a moment of thought and actually try to understand where they are coming from. Their lack of knowledge can irk us but their efforts can make up for that since what we are always trying to do is talk about awareness, build awareness and such instances are the budding stages of an era where mental health awareness would no longer be an alien topic, and that my friends would be every psychologist’s dream come true :). 


Until then, we are still in that fantasy, coz reality sucks!

See you in the next rant!

The Examination Rant

-
Hola people! We are back with our blogs. Took a looooong break there- Well, we had our exams, which are now thankfully over, but we of course had to make a blog about this too. I am pretty sure you all will be able to relate to this and laugh along the way. On that note, how many of you all have VIVAS, (the oral exams where an external comes up and ask you like 3 questions based on which you get graded)? For those of you who do, I have 2 things to say to you, 1. I sooo get the misery 2. You are gonna like this one. Don’t stop reading. Vivas are like the worst kind of examinations in my opinion, i would rather give 2 extra written tests. I find myself forgetting the answers to questions i already know And when it comes to viva, it is all about LUCK and the MOOD of the external. God forbid you get an external who let’s say, is not a morning person or just had a fight or something upsetting happened, or they’re not just not in a peachy mood. I say, stop stressing because you’re doomed any...

The one without a name

Helluuuu people, back again with some random rants. This time I am not kidding, there is NO theme. That’s why the title- (real reason-  I literally CANNOT come up with a good title 🫡) I have 2 very random incidents to rant about. (no, life is not that happening for me to have extremely new content every month ;) So, the first one is yet again related to something very common- MIND reading. Did you think, internship? Hehe, not ALWAYS! >< So, I was traveling in the metro (minding my own business, might I add), and this random guy came up to me and we started having a conversation (seemed nice at the beginning, was even enjoying the convo a bit), then he asked me what do I do? I told him I am doing my bachelor's in applied psychology. And this is the moment you all guess his reply…………………. Yes, he made the most annoying, cliched and not so FAMOUS joke and said- “oh i hope you’re not reading my mind” Way to ruin a conversation and my mood. I wasn’t really in a good mood since t...

Failed Attempts

-
Today, let me tell you a story of how we made a new planner, invested a lot of money in it and then, guess what??  You guessed it, it FAILED. Our business started and ended in 2 seconds. Record time? Can we get published in THE book for this? Coz, I mean, we gotta get something out of this. Let’s give you some more details, and as usual you can laugh while I sulk and rant. For starters, for those of you who don’t know, we put up a stall recently in another college and also in our college. We made some customised stickers and a planner specifically for the stall in another college. Okayy,  that’s all the information you need to understand this rant, so let’s get into it. Let me start with a cute incident (a lil context- we were not making any sale) where my friend went like “tum kyu ni khareed re ho. Look at the pretty blue colour ke bulbule. Itne sundar sundar hai”. That’s where we started to lose it. There were times we were on the floor laughing, because all we could do was ...
