    If I told you not to look behind you, would you look, or would you listen to me?

Would you feel your freedom is being threatened? The answer is yes, we as humans naturally pursue what we cant have. In fact, being told we can't makes us want whatever it is so much more. This is known as reverse psychology. The effects of…

    Cox (2006, p. 202) defines perfectionism as “The setting of exceptionally high performance standards for oneself.” Whilst this is an appropriate definition of what it means to be a perfectionist, it appears to be considering perfectionism in a unidimensional perspective. Scientific research has now progressed to better understanding perfectionism as a multidimensional personality characteristic, and is therefore now known to be much more complex than this statement may suggest. Multidimensional…

    Science has always interested me as a child and I have always been curious on how things worked, taking things apart then reassembling them, and how parts worked together, hence my interest in Legos. This interest on studying how objects interacted with each other then spread to living organisms when I first worked with mealworms in second grade. I was shocked to find that my little mealworm would one day became a big darkling beetle. This expanded interest in living organisms and their relation…
