I am double majoring in psychology and legal studies, currently a freshman in college. This is the summer before my sophomore year and i kind of started having an interest in law (hence declaring my second major).

I just took a timed LSAT test with no prior knowledge of the test’s structure or studying and got a 150. English is my second language and to be fair i do think this test favors people that are Native english speakers. This is one of the reasons why i might back away from going into the law route, even though i love reading and interested in law, i don’t know if im going to be able to improve much from this score.

I am a college student and i feel so burnt out. I am not even taking insane amount of credits but i have a lot of classes purely based off of memorizing stuff (harder level psych classes).
Now finals are coming up, i feel sick and tired, i find myself constantly wanting to take breaks.
What are your best tips to study for long hours and actually keep the info in your brain? One of my most important final is in 2 days and i cannot focus.

I am currently a freshman in college, female 19 yrs old, studying psychology BA. I am really passionate about it but i realize that you cannot do much with a bachelors in psych and additional education is needed to make decent money.

Obviously money should not be the main factor when it comes to choosing a career but i worked really hard to get into this school (somewhat prestigious, often considered a public ivy) and paying OOS tuition with a small scholarship so i do not want to waste this opportunity just to be earning basically nothing out of college.

I have always been told that i’d be great at law and i love to read. So I considered law school for a while. I came into college with some of my credits done (nerded out on APs in HS) so i am thinking of declaring legal studies next semester and do a double major.

But I also know that law school is a big commitment and im not sure if i will still want to do that after 4 years of college, I already feel burnt out and only finishing up my first year.
So i started considering forensic psychology which requires me to get a phd. Also a long process but at least i know for a fact that im interested in it and will not give up halfway through.

I don’t want to go to medical school, as much as i love psychology i am not nearly as interested in any other science and i dont think i can take the workload of it (i know law school also requires a lot of work but STEM is not really my strongest suit and i’d much rather take that)

I am really conflicted. If anyone has a similar experience i’d love to hear about it. I still want to do something at least somewhat related to psychology but i want to live a comfortable life without worrying about money and would like somewhat of a flexibility in my life.
