A letter to future psych students

 To future AP Psych students,

Psychology is an incredibly fascinating subject that explains the human mind and how it behaves. This course offers valuable knowledge that help you understand yourself and others. Don't miss out on the engaging activities and personality tests in Nearpod as they provide interesting information (though they aren't always accurate). In my opinion, the Social Psychology unit was the most interesting as it explains the fundamentals of human behavior and sheds light on the reasons behind our actions. When it comes to studying, my advice is to avoid cramming at the last minute (I know from experience...). While the workload may be time-consuming, the instructions are clear and the tasks don't require excessive brainpower. Vocabulary is an important to keeping your grade high, so I recommend dedicating a few minutes each day to work on it regularly instead of leaving it all for the last day. For quizzes, make sure you study the vocabulary well and have a good grasp of the unit. Fiveable is an excellent resource for quiz preparation and the exam. Regarding feedback, it would be greatly appreciated if the teacher could do quiz corrections in class once everyones finished taking it, so students can see what they got wrong. I found the relaxed teaching environment, occasional Nearpods, and movies to be enjoyable, so I suggest maintaining those activities. Additionally, offering some extra credit opportunities in the final term would be greatly appreciated. Lastly, I think it was a great decision to forgo the point-table system, and I recommend continuing without it in the future. Best of luck in AP Psych!

 For my topic I choose psychology tricks to make someone like you. So here are 5 interesting trick I found. 1. Reveal your flaws with them every once in a while. People like you more if you are able to make mistakes them fix them because they find you competent and relatable. 2. Let them talk about themselves. Studies show that people gain validation from having others listens to them talk about their lives. 3. Wait a few seconds before answering a question. It'll make the person seem like you're deeply contemplating what they asked. 4. Rather them surface level compliment specific things that others may notice. We all feel happy getting compliments that are specific to our personality. 5. If you're in a group setting try to highlight things they do well.

My Life Story

 I was born January 18, 2006. One of my earliest memories is of my old family dog, Augar, who did not like me very much. He finally was showing me some affection until my dad got up and left the room with Augar following closely behind.  Other than my dog's lack of interest for me, my childhood was largely characterized by dance and my family. In my last post I detailed the first time I received a major role in one of my dance shows, but what I didn't mentioned is that I recently dropped out of dance. While I miss it, I do enjoy having more free time, and my sleep schedule is ten times better than it used to be. Furthermore, a key part of my life was weekly hangouts with my family. Every week all my aunts, uncles, and cousins would meet up at my grandma's house and spend the whole day together. We would play poker and Super Smash Bros, watch movies like harry potter, and play tag chair hide and seek (a game my oldest cousins created).  School wise, I remember being one of...
