Psychology is so overrated, much? (b!mbo version)

Here's the deal. There are basically 3 types of reactions when you tell someone you're majoring in a psychology.
First type is,
me : i'm studying psychology
responder A : Wow! knew you were always abit coo coo up in the head, but i didnt know you like working with the psyco(s)! birds of the same feather flock together? hahahaha

My analysis to this type of reaction is, the person either lacks too large a portion of this particular knowledge, or has too much of it to the point of "jelak-ness". We dont just learn about The CooCOo Land and all it's CooCoo inhabitants for heaven's sake, we are scholars!!! %$ &^$#$ and (so quoted by our dean) WE~ persue the deeper and complex understanding in Behavioral Science! For those who knew too much, it would probably be regarding a different field. Ooze say, accounting or law. In the university, i suspect that there is indeed a strong rivalry between LAW students against us SCHOLARS OF BEHAVIORIAL SCIENCE. Maybe they're jealous what we learn is so practical and down to earth! in fact! wahahah IN YOUR FACE! :P
(okay law students.. in case you fail to recognize it.. let me spell it for you : its a joke)

Second type,
me: I'm studying psychology
responder B: wow.... okay.... wow...

My analysis is that they're either looking down on me, OR they dont know wtf psychology is all about. :) In their minds it probably goes like: this person is pursuing psychology?ya ya so she's interested in the HuMAn BEHAviOR~ piff what is she gonna do when she graduates? I heard its absurdly easy graduating with a psychology degree, Some even go to great lengths and claims that 70% of unemployed graduates are psychology majors!! NOW THIS..
THIS... i have no b!tch aruguement lol.. i'll answer this next sem.

The third type,
will irrevocably agree with me and together we sing the praises to the field of behavioral science!! why? Because that person is a psychology major too! :D hurahhhh!!!!!
Note: none of the above observation is based on any valid experiment/ non-experimental research. Another one of those.. crap it in the blog cause thinking logically just requires too much effort post. No flames lol. *takut edi*

Today Dr. Albert gave us a new quote :
(regarding missatribution of arousal, Dutton & Aron, 1974)


Dr Albert Rocks!
