meals, family, and no professors talking a student 's ear off for a week are heavenly. Of course all the classic thanksgiving things happen but there are also psychological things that go on. (Darn that psychology sneaking its way into everything, it obviously never goes on break.) Although psychology is used every minute of every day i 'm only going to talk about 5 concepts, persuasion, cognition, emotion, personality, and the self.

I have found myself on a deeper level through art therapy and used it to help me through hard times. Seeing how helpful art therapy was for me is what makes me want it in my everyday life; I want to be able…

If we look directly at the url, http://www.apa.org/monitor/2015/02/bad-memories.aspx, we can see that it comes right off of the APA website. The “apa.org” is a clear give away that this article is specifically for the use of informing the reader about psychology. Random people can’t just upload an article onto this website.

Importance of Sleep for Correct Cognitive and Bodily Functioning I had experienced a complete flip of my circadian rhythm. I was sleeping during the day and attempting to function at night. I was experiencing the world in darkness. Going to sleep at 7 in the morning and waking up at 5 in the evening takes a toll on the body both mentally and physically.
