Self Evaluation of my academic year

This is my first year in the university studying psychology. Since I was a child I liked to think and meditate why people do some things, and other people do completely different things. When I listened that there were a career named psychology in charge to this questions, I get fascinated and I wanted immediately to be a part of this discipline. Before being in University, in school, I always thought how would be being in this place, what matters I would had to face and what I would like. Now that I`m in this situation, I look back and I can evaluate my academic year, counting all things I once thought of that.


The first thing I think when I look my academic year, is that I don’t like all the subjects I had to study, actually I had liked only a few, because not all of them are related whit my career, like Statistics, History or Philosophy. During the first semester I was so disappointed of all this subjects, but when I analyzed why I had to study them, I revaluated the situation and calm down. The second semester I had to study things that I liked more, like Psychoanalysis, or Basic Psychological Processes, and I enjoyed it. Because of this, I liked this semester so much more.


In this year, I could realize that there are many things that I like and I didn’t know, like biological sides of psychology. I just finished a subjecnamed “Learning”, based in behaviourist psychology, which according to the opinions of students from previous years, is the most difficult in the year. I didn’t like the professor, but I liked so much the theory, I found it very interesting, and I think I would like to continue studying it in next years.


For the moment I like this career, and I hope to keep on learning many things of all this subjects. I’m honest with myself, and if in one moment I don’t like how all is going on in my studies, or if I realized I’m not happy in here, there’s no doubt I’m going to leave this career. For now I’m good, I’m learning things that I like, and although sometimes I have to study more that what I can (because it need more time for all I have to do), I like my actual situation, and with this I mean not only the academic issues, I like the social relations that I have created here, I thing that ones makes you grow up at the same time that the study do.
