Hello everybody from the Intro to psychology course
Step one: Learn you like this subject Step two: See there is a CrashCourse on it Step three: See that its Hank Green that is teaching it (I LOVE HANK GREEN BY THE WAY)
14 year old here! I’m not in high school yet, still in 8th grade. I’ve always wanted to be a journalist, and i had a plan to major in journalism at USC, Emerson College, or NYU. I’ve always loved to write and I’m very interested in politics and talking to people. But, recently I took a liking to psychology. I’ve always been slightly interested in it but now I’m really considering becoming a clinical psychologist. Idk what to pick, I know I have a ton of time still but it’s kinda overwhelming 😂 I feel a calling in both fields, so we’ll see what I end up picking. I picked journalism as one of my courses in high school so I’ll see how I like it. Best of luck to everyone! xx
Speed of the class is making me more psycho lol ...

Watched this years ago for fun, now I need to watch it for school 😂❤
I watched this 8 years ago, and now I’m watching this as part of my college course
I watched this video for the first time in my final year of highschool when i was struggling to figure out what i wanted to do with the rest if my life. This video made me want to learn more about the subject and I am proud to say that 6 years later i have just graduated with an honors degree in applied psychology. I have watched this video, and all the others in the series many times over the past few years and i wish i could thank hank personally for making the dense topic of psychology fun to learn and easy to digest. I am going to take a break from studying for a year or two to go out and work in the filed but i will come back and edit this comment in a few years time when i get my doctorate in clinic psychology. Thanks hank!
