Hey everyone!

​I’m currently in my first semester of an RCI-registered Bachelor’s in Psychology in India. I’m leaning towards Clinical Psychology (though still keeping Counselling in mind) and aiming to pursue my higher education abroad in the US, UK, or Australia—ideally with scholarships, post-study work rights, and eventual PhD funding(which is optional sinxe i dont want to think this far lol but would prefer working after masters in psych🤙)

​Since I’m starting early, I want to map out my strategy from Day 1. I have a few specific questions for those who’ve successfully navigated this path:

​Country Selection: Which country (US vs. UK vs. Aus) best balances scholarships, direct practice options, and post-graduation job prospects for clinical/counselling tracks?

​CV & Profile Building: What specific societies, extracurriculars, or technical skills (e.g., SPSS, R, Python) actually move the needle for grad school admissions? Though i want to learn marketting,finance, editing too lol.

​Research vs. Internships: How do I get involved in research during my 1st year? Everyone mentions "be a RA," "write a thesis," or "co-publish" so how do you even do it man?

​RCI Recognition: Does having an RCI-accredited undergrad degree impact or benefit my applications when applying overseas?(rci is basically regulatory body of psychology in india for my non indian cuties)

​Would love to hear honest advice, brutal truths, or personal experiences from anyone currently studying or practicing abroad. Thankyouuu.

Yo everyone,

I’m a fresher (doing bachelor's in clinical psychology) and moved into a hostel far from home about a week ago, and honestly, the homesickness and fatigue are hitting me hard.

Right now, my schedule is destroying me. Classes finish around 4:30 PM most days (except Thursdays when I’m done by 12:00 PM, plus weekends off). The problem? As soon as I get back to my room, I collapse onto my bed and instantly pass out. I’m missing dinner, waking up too late to grab breakfast, and running on zero energy. I barely have the strength to take a shower after class, let alone hit the gym or study for a high CGPA. Before coming here, I had all these big plans: hit the gym, lock in my academics, learn finance and marketing on the side, pick up video editing, and join a few clubs and start content creation and I had been working on it during my break between 12th and college too but college and hostel life feels surprisingly restrictive, and I can't even manage the basics like food and sleep, let alone a social life or extracurriculars.

So my dear baddies and social butterfly seniors who actually managed to score good and not loose themselves in the process

How do you break the post-class fatigue loop? How do you stop yourself from crashing at 5 PM so you can actually eat and function and how do you all build a realistic routine that fits in gym, studies, meals, and a bit of a social life without burning out?(Pls help me out lol😭 or I will cry) And hacks for hostel living? Missing meals because I'm sleeping through them is making the energy problem ten times worse and I feel sleepy too.

Tldr:Homesick fresher crashing in bed at 4:30 PM every day, missing dinner and breakfast, and running on empty. Want to maintain a good CGPA, go to the gym, learn side skills (finance/editing), and have a social life, but currently don't even have energy to shower. How do you actually manage your time and energy in college?

Every time I open this sub seeking guidance, it's the exact same script:

"The pay is non-existent."

"The study is too long and brutal."

"Go into tech/MBA instead."

Questions asking which college to apply to, or people having negative experiences gets a lot of comments but genuine questions or intriguing topics barely get any responses 😭(not trying to rant sorry) but I refused to believe no one in psychology earn in good figures and in "lakhs"

While I acknowledge the real structural challenges in mental health and the low pay in some cities of India, the constant doom mongering is insanely demotivating for students and freshers who are genuinely passionate about Psychology and trying to build a sustainable life in it( like me lol)

There MUST be people here who crossed the initial low-pay hurdle, built a stable practice/corporate role, and are actually earning well.

To the psychologists who made it work:

What branch did you choose (Clinical, Corporate/IO, Neuro, Counseling, School)? I am really passionate about clinical so would love to hear more about it

How did you transition from the low-paying entry phase to a comfortable income and if you don't mind sharing the figures?

One piece of actual, non-generic advice you wish someone gave you when you were starting out?

Please drop some realistic positivity and actionable roadmaps for once and feel free to connect and give me advices in DM

Is it just me, or has Reddit turned into LinkedIn’s hyper-pessimistic twin?

Every time someone posts a career query, the entire comment section rushes to say: "Don't do it, pay is shit, tech is dead, going abroad for Masters is a waste of money, everyone is returning to India and people would bootlick btech, mba, mbbs peeps while shaming others.

While Some of that is reality, it’s completely exhausting when you are actually passionate about a field and want to build a career in it.

Tech folks are struggling, healthcare folks are burnt out(coming from a family of engineers myself)

If every field is doomed according to Reddit, how is anyone surviving?

I want to hear from people who actually like their chosen path and are earning decently well especially in unconventional fields like design, fashion, psychology (clinical, corporate HR/org, research, private practice). Did going abroad for higher studies actually pay off for you? For the psychologists here: how long did it take to reach a stable, comfortable income, and what route did you take? How do you filter out all this online doom-mongering when planning your future?

Need some actual real-world positivity and actionable advice for a change(someone studying bachelor's in psychology myself so would love to connect with more so called unconventional career peeps)

This was my third or fourth purchase from her(have been a regular buyer of hers so forgot the count 😭) and she was nothing short of amazing this time too. Got a rice cleanser from her along with a cute pen freebie. Will recommend her highly 🌟

For context I am a teenager who's just about to start her college. I have thin low porosity frizzy wavy hair and I don't know how to keep them down without having a professional blow dry or straightening them which result to heat damage. What routine should I follow to maintain my hair and keep them down during college hours that would look pretty and not unkept. Also how to manage baby hair on top of hair too when hair is kept open or in ponytail. Pls share ur secrets💗

Hair type- oily scalp, dry ends. Thin hair due to hair loss(had a stressful period of life which decreased my hair volume significantly)😭✨

Hey cuties. I am just starting my Psychology bachelor's and i didn't have Psychology in my highschool but always had a passion for reading books(though still a beginner 😭) so would love some psychology novels,thrilling plots having complex psychology backgrounds to build a good base and a daily read schedule which would also help in my psychology research and deep understanding of it to build my grades and academics too.

I didn't understand one thing in today's episode if someone can explain it to me. did you all suspect insha character too in today's scene where she called tahir to help her since she's in durgah and being stalked by a guy. Idk Insha doesn't seem to me as a helpless bechari and the timings wasn't it too perfect for her to call him when he was occupied with mahid and seher. Something about her character makes me feel fishy. correct me if I am wrong. also I loathe shows that show the male lead or the female lead married yet having feelings or romancing the lead since it's borderline cheating and something that ruins the taste of romance for me and i stop watching it all together and same goes for many so I think richa won't butcher it this much(and show mahid married to Insha though also why could I see it happening considering the scene of insha calling tahir couldn't have been placed out of nowhere. What if to protect insha and perhaps she might have been criticised by the maashray mahid ended up marrying her though namesake and insha starts messing up with his health more and feeds his information to her family or rivals idk and seher helps to uncover that) but also considering mahid character idts he would have been touching seher if he was married to Insha despite having unrequited feelings for seher regardless so I really hope they don't bring that trope and bring more hate towards the show with rishita replacement regarding the plot too now.

Would love to hear all of your opinions
