• Commented on Personality: Not What I Once Thought
  I do find it facsinating that genetics is a major part of what makes us who we are and how we act. I've always thought genetics had a lot to do with our personality though because I can see myself...

• Commented on I will not give in!
  I'm sure a lot of people think that they would be one of the few who would not conform, me myself being one of them. I've always thought myself as one who is strong minded and able to stick to...
• Commented on An Invaluable Learning Experience
  I feel the same exact way. I've always loved pyschology growing up and when I took it in High School I loved it even more. It helped me not only just look at things and people in different ways but...

  Wow that app sounds really cool. I wonder if they also have it on Android phones because I may check it out myself. But yeah my mom has always said to take power naps like 20 minute naps here and...
• Posted Twin studies to Psy 1001 section 26 Spring 2012

• Commented on Love to Work Out
  I know exactly how you feel. A lot of the times I just don't have the motavation to just do my homework, or go work out, or whatever it is. So having a study group where I know someone will...
• Commented on The Apple Doesn't Fall Far From the Tree

• Commented on Stupid Diets
  No matter what it is you could get probably get at least one person to believe it, and thats just the sad truth nowadays and in the past. That’s what some people are paid for though, to market a certain...

• Commented on Alcohol VS Marijuana Debate
  I agree that it might be hard to legalize marijuana at first but after awhile it'll turn into exactly what alcohol is like now-a-days. They'll have to be an age limit, be it 18 or 21, restrictions one when and...

  VS This may be a little off topic but I've wanted to write a blog about this debate for awhile and see what other's opinions are on it. I'm going to start with some facts, I'll leave some links...
• Commented on The Final Push
  I agree but sometimes it's not entirely the 'step back' you take but the time you take to look at problems in a different light or from a different point of view. I see this helping people in many different...
• Commented on "I can tell you're lying!" - Actually no, you probably can't
  I wrote what I'm about to write on anothers similar post. I think that lying is just as nonverbal as it is verbal and it's different for everyone. What comes to mind when I think about that is poker. Everyone...

• Commented on Problem Solving: A Somewhat Tricky Task

• Commented on Don't Forget about Alzheimer's Disease! Jenny Kinzler

• Commented on Sex, Sensuality and Salad
  I think these types of advertisement are pretty stupid, especially when fast food places use them and I'll tell you why. I've never thought, oh this food is going to make me more sexy, I better go get it. I...
• Commented on Wanna Join(t) Me?
  I'm going to but a little twist on your blog post. I think some drugs are far worse than alcohol but that sometimes, drugs can be the lesser evil. One easy example would be prescriptive drugs, which can help people...
• Commented on Give me that phone
  I took psychology in High School and my teacher showed us this concept during class. He found an internet site that could produce different pitches of sound and would play it at certain levels. He played it at a rather...
• Commented on The Call of the Wild

• Commented on The Great Debate: Not Politics or Religion But... Videogames?
