AP PSYCH
In honor of the test that I have tomorrow...here are some of my fav things that we have learned that I had to jot in here...keep in mind that none will be on my test tomorrow...
Psych—in classic greek means SOUL—the symbol is a butterfly.
"We find joy through doing what makes us happy, and that's why we do the things we do."
-My Teacher
PSYCHOLOGY: The experience by which a person reauthors his/her life turning fate into destiny
When we cant deal with reality, we go to fantasy
We have to get our minds to the fully present. We can do that through creating positive energy.
Your mind is a healing space, a place of imagination and creativity.
Idea of romance and love—when two "ripples" in the water become one—UNITY and SERENITY.
“…we can all benefit from other natural promoters of neurogenesis, such as exercise, sleep, and nonstressful but stimulating environments…”
-AP Psych Book (page 83)
Identities
Self
Biological
Psychological
Religious
Spiritual
Universal
...when these things line up you have a mysetical or authentic experience...
"People get out of bed in the morning to feel love."
-My Teacher
"This class is ultimately teaching you to heal—mind and spirit."
-My Teacher
DIFFERENT TYPES OF LOVE:
EROS: Erotic, raw passion
STORGE: Affection
PHILEO: Friendship(…city of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love)
AGAPE: Jaw-droppping love; uncondictional love; a mother's love
You have to change your thoughts first to change your behavior and feelings.
“We are each in certain respects like all others, like some others, and like no other. Studying people of all races and cultures helps us discern our similarities and our differences, our human kinship and our diversity.”
-AP Psych Book (page 43)
“PSYCHOLOGITS ARE EXPLORING WAYS TO ENHANCE LEARNING, CREATIVITY, AND COMPASSION.”
“PSYCHOLOGY…SPEAKS TO OUR DEEPEST LONGINGS—FOR NOURISHMENT, FOR LOVE, FOR HAPPINESS.”
-AP Psych Book (page 46)

Imagine
I wish this was possible.
To me, war seems like such a savage way to solve things. I think that it has many negative effects, and few positive ones. The sad thing is...I don't know what we can do to stop it. People crave power, and it truly hurts our world.
Yeea
Whatever you do, do things for yourself...not because of expectations or dreams or hopes that others have for you. Share with the world, your true self and you will get shit done.
DO IT FOR YOURSELF.

Runaway By: Kanye West (ft. Pusha T)
(Look at you x 14)
(Look at you x eight)
(Ladies and gentlemen, la-ladies and gentlemen)
(And I want to show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight)
(And I want to show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight)
(And I want to show you how you all look like beautiful stars tonight)
And I always find, yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
She find pictures in my email
I sent this girl a picture of my, hey!
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good with that, hey!
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hoodrats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at
See, I always find
And I always find
Yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can
R-r-ru-ru-ru-run away
Run away from me, baby
(Look at, look at, look at, look at you)
Run away from me, baby
(Look at you, look at you, look at you)
Run away
Run away from me, baby
(Pusha T)
24/7, 365, Jenny stays on my mind
I-I-I-I did it, all right, all right, I admit it
Now pick your best move, you could leave or live wit' it
Ichabod Crane with that Lamborghini top off
Split and go where? Back to wearin' knockoffs, huh?
Knock it off, Neiman's, shop it off
Let's talk over mai tais, waitress, top it off
(Inaudible) Wanna fly in your Freddy loafers
You can't blame 'em, they ain't never seen Versace sofas
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it
You should leave if you can't accept the basics
Plenty bitches in the baller-player's matrix
Invisibly set, the Rolex is faceless
I'm just young, rich, and tasteless
P!
(Kanye)
Oh
I haven't fucked in so long
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time for us to have a toast
(Ladies and gentlemen! )
Yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up with my shit just way too long

Francoise Hardy
Francoise Hardy is a French singer. She was born in January 1944, so is now almost 67 years old. I don't speak French, and only understand "Bonjour" but I have always been attracted to the French style and elegance that the country seems to have. I came across a picture of Francoise when she was younger, and have been curious about her ever since. Her face is beautifully structured and her hair style is perfect. I think that I want to get bangs like her sometime. Francoise is a singer and actress. She is viewed as an icon in fashion, style, and music. I am awed at her style and the way she carries herself, as I am with Audrey Hepburn.
“The ideal girl, beautiful, romantic, sexy and proud.”
Wata
We learn from our mistakes. We learn from our failures.
They make us appreciate what we have more.
We should value our mistakes. We should value our failures.
We can turn those hardships that we experience into improving our attitudes and reactions.
The way we think and react makes all the differnce.
Find all positive things, feel happy, be joyful.
Stand on the edge of a waterfall.
CHYEAH
"I think everything happens for a reason, so there is no such thing as fail."
