Cate's Writer Room

INTRO

          Once, I saw a diagram that tells you the kind of person you are depending on where you sit when you're at college and it says I'm a nerd who will ask questions because I sit on the front row. I mean, that is true, but I sit on the front row because I can't see anything from the back even though I wear contacts since my professors enjoy making blinding PowerPoint presentations.

          I also hate essays with a max number of pages. Guys. I'm a psych major. I'M OPINIONATED, OKAY. It pains me writing a beautiful essay only to realize I have to delete entire paragraphs because of the damn limit.

          Like I said, I'm opinionated. Fortunately, my professors encourage co-constructive dialogue a la Vygotsky so we can learn better, but there are many things I don't share, mostly because it probably wouldn't be a good idea to yell 'ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF RIGHT NOW' halfway through a Psychopathology lecture.

          Anyway. This is a rant book. In a way. I have rage, but I'm tiny and full of love and we all know the world could use a lot more of this. I overshare!!!! There are things that happen to me that I want to share with you since they make me happy and warm inside, and maybe you'll share that type of things with me as well. Vygotsky said it was useful and we're supposed to trust the guy.

          There will also be recommendations of anything under the sun, such as books, my favorite psychologists, Social Psychology and my cats. Or, you know, whatever the subject might be.
