Like nerdy variety? Then here's a tumblr for you! I'm a 20 year old college student studying Psychology and education at Clemson University! I'm getting married December 14, 2012 so you're likely to see some wedding posts pop up every now and then. :)

ashortcuttomshrms replied to your post: I know that as soon as grad school starts I will want a break, but tonight I really want to start classes already.I feel the same way! It’s been three weeks since school let out, and I don’t know what to do with myself during the day! I’m just ready to get my senior year started! :)
Senior year is incredible. It fliessss by! What are you doing this summer?
I’m working with a professor at my university to develop a program with NASA to inspire middle school children to get interested in science! The pilot program was last semester so I’m getting paid to do some follow up research and surveying participants. I’m working on an article that is potentially going to be published in the fall! Unfortunately, up to this point it’s mostly been a lot of waiting for people to get back to me with their surveys and for my professor to email me back. I love what I’m doing. I just wish the work was more consistent! :)

Unreal!
This is insane! This is an article written by a man that gets paid to write papers for students involved in higher education. He’s written everything from undergrad papers to dissertations. It’s a really interesting read! Those of you who are interested in higher education should seriously check this out!

Work? Not so much!
So I spent my afternoon completing the methods and results section of my report when I realized I never really talked to my boss about it. I drafted an outline and sent it to him. I had some questions about what he would want included in the discussion. This isn’t a typical sort of psychology article draft so we’re both a little of unsure how it should be presented. We decided to meet at 11 tomorrow so it looks like my work is done for the day. OH YES!

Gabriele Galimberti is a photographer who spent 18 months photographing children and their toys around the world.
He discovered that toys often say more about the parents than the child, revealing parental hopes and ambitions in many cases, and that cars and dolls are still the most popular.
He found that children “just want to play”, but that how they play is revealing - the richest children were more possessive of their toys, but even if poorer children had only two or three toys, they didn’t mind. ”In Africa, the kids would mostly play with their friends outside.”
Children who live worlds apart use their toys for the same purposes - a 6 year old boy in Texas and a 4 year old girl in Malawi both believed their plastic dinosaurs would protect them from dangers (kidnappers, poisonous animals) at night.
Piaget wrote about this tendency of young (preoperational) children to apply the attributes of living things to inanimate objects, interpreting it as an extreme form of egocentric thought, although recent researchers believe he overestimated the degree of animism in early childhood.
An article about Gabriele Galimberti appeared in The Times Magazine, Saturday 26 May 2012.

This part of the commentary always makes me laugh so hard!
| Elijah: | All those days of playing "Cup." |
| Dom: | Oh, “Cup!” |
| Billy: | Oh yea! |
| Sean: | “Cup” was fun. |
| Dom: | A fantastic game. |
| Billy: | "Cup," eh, by the way, is where you take a paper cup, and- |
| Sean: | Dixie. |
| Billy: | A Dixie cup, if you're American, and- |
| Dom: | Or a paper cup, if you speak English. |
| Billy: | And you, you keep it up, just by passing it to each other. Which sounds quite boring, but if you're waiting for a, uh, a helicopter for four days, it becomes the main way to pass the day. |
| Dom: | I would just like to say here, that it's an original Dominic Monaghan game, available online at my website. Eh, you can use different cups, but if you want, you can log onto my website and get an official “Cup” cup. |
| Billy: | dominicmonaghanscrazygames.com. |
| Dom: | And another game, called “Nudge,” which Billy is a huge fan of. So, if anyone wants me to get involved in game making, I’m available. |
| Elijah: | Speaking of game making, what was the name of the fake game that ya’ll tried to get me into? |
| Dom: | OH! Uh… |
| Dom: | T-t-“tig?” “Tag?” |
| Elijah: | “Tig!” |
| Sean: | “Tig!” |
| Elijah: | “Tig!” |
| Sean: | That was good! |
| Elijah: | Oh my god! |
| Billy: | And “Tig,” eh, it was when we were filming Weathertop, and myself and Dom just started tiggin’ each other, you know, touchin’ each other and going’ “tig.” Just, like, for no reason! And then Sean came over- |
| Sean: | Slightly different from “Tag.” |
| Billy: | And he came over and started doin’ it as well, “tig.” And then, we’d say “tig tig,” “tig tag,” like, for no reason! And, eh, and then Elijah came over and said “What you guys doin’?” I said “Oh, we’re playing a game, eh, called ‘Tig.’” He says “How do you play?” And we spent, like, the next two hours making up rules! |
| Elijah: | And, and trying to teach me, and of course I was getting everything wrong. |
| Sean: | He couldn’t follow the game, and the three of us were forever frustrated that he wasn’t following these new rules that we would continue to make up. |
| Dom: | So we would play, the three of us were all constantly getting it right. Every time Elijah’d try a new way of tiggin’ someone, we’d say “No, Elijah, you can’t tig on a tog. You can’t tag on a tig. You have to, you have to do an elephant impression if you’re gonna tig Billy. If Billy’s gonna tig you back you have to get on your knees and pull your trousers down.” |
| Billy: | “How many times, Elijah, you can’t double-tig a tag!” |
| Dom: | Yea. And, and for, like, three weeks he was saying how much he enjoyed playing “Tig,” and that he, uh- |
| Sean: | He wanted to get the rule book. |
| Billy: | But you remember that we forgot to say it was a wind-up. And it was, like, a year later, he says “Why do we never play ‘Tig?’” |
| Elijah: | And then they finally let it, let the cat out of the bag. My whole world came shattering down on me when they told me that that was a lie. ‘Cause I, for a whole year, I believed that that was a real game, and then they told me, and I- |
| Dom: | I’m sorry, Elijah. |
| Billy: | Sorry, Elijah. |
| Elijah: | “What else, what else was not true?” That’s what I was asking. |
| Sean: | It undermines the integrity of the entire relationship. |
| Dom: | Yea. |
| Elijah: | That’s what I think. |
| Dom: | It was part of the whole bonding experience. |
| Billy: | Although, me and Dom are actually just lies. |
| Billy: | Big, fat lies. |

They’re both texting someone right now saying ‘some weird guy next to me is wearing the same thing as me.’
