My HONEST honours psychology degree experience & 10 lessons I’ve learned along the way
At the time of uploading this, I just finished my honours degree in psychology, the 2nd last degree that is required before one can practice as a psychologist. Pleeeeaassseee bear in mind that this is my own SUBJECTIVE, PERSONAL experience and that you will have a different (hopefully better) experience than me!! All the best if you are on this journey or just about to start it! :)
Please don't forget to like this video and subscribe to my channel, thank you!

@@Diamondpaintingwithsophie Hi! So far, so good! It's very tiring I must say and about a month ago, I experienced one of the biggest academic burnouts ever (assuming it was an accumulation of 3 years of intense study as well haha) so I took about 2 weeks off (during the holiday period for my particular university). After that, I started managing my time well and make sure that I go out and see my friends at least once a week to just remove myself from study! But you definitely need to be on top of everything otherwise it's so easy to fall behind! So, now I am currently juggling data collection, editing my introduction, course work, working part-time and going out to have a social life! It's a lot but if you're motivated enough, passionate enough about the course and wanting to do well, then it's not very hard to manage all that and stay ahead/on top of it! :D

Thank you ❤ 1. Learn to take criticism 2. Be okay with drop in marks 3. Don't think you the only one struggling. 4. Don't be afraid to lean on classmates. Dont see them as competition . 5. Time flies. - Journal the experience. 6.Baby steps matter. Daily things. Things can add up so quickly. 7. Be honest with your supervisor. 8. Dont let the empty timetable fool you. The work load won't be less. 9. Support from classmates matters. 10. Remember that you are way stronger than you believe. You going to feel down at times but remember you can so this ❤

The hardest part of any postgraduate degree is the thesis. It quite easy to regurgitate and write an exam but a thesis is a whole new ball game.

I am starting my second semester as a Hon Psych student and I am stressing. Honestly nothing can prepare you for how hectic postgrad is. On top of that I am on the faculty and the work for that alone is so hectic and the expectations are high. All I can do rn is pray that my mental health does not go down the toilet completely🫠

Hey Lauren🌸, my name is Juliet I’m in my final year of my degree in Psychology, I’m beyond nervous for selection into an Honours for Psychology. I want to know how did you find your selection experience into honours? I was told to apply to multiple universities to ensure a better chance of selection just because of how competitive it is to get selected, did you also apply to numerous universities? Did you also apply to private universities such as Varsity College? And if you don’t mind sharing, what was our combined average over all your undergraduate modules, that ensured your selection into Honours?

I liked when you said you PROMISED I would survive... IF I had support from my peers - uh, no. from my family - lol, no and everyone around me, also no. I just finished my Hons year last week and I feel traumatised, it was horrible. I suffered through a weird cohort where no one was interested in talking to me even though I reached out continually, a thesis group that was a clique that didn't include me :'( and a horrible and incompetent supervisor. To top it off they wouldn't let us back on campus after the mid year break cause of Covid. I had to do my thesis alone, without even the most basic help. It's likely that I failed but I don't even care anymore. I am the picture of apathy. What an awful year. Worst, most painful ever. :'( FML.

Hi Lauren! I hope you see this😅 I just wanted to ask what the difference is between a BSocSci Pych Honours and a BPsych Honours. I know the latter is so that you meet the requirements with the HPCSA but I'm not sure if that's important or not😅😅 which sounds so bad I know but help please😩
