"You don't have to know how to shine the sun. You just do it, like you breathe. Doesn't it really astonish you that you are this fantastically complex thing, and that you're doing all this and you never had any education in how to do it? Never learned, but you're this miracle? The point of it is, from a strictly physical, scientific standpoint, this organism is a continuous energy with everything else that's going on. And if I am my foot, I am the sun." - Alan Watts

Goals
This is a vision board created in Fall 2015, a 5 year plan
I hope to find work doing some type of psychological research for the next year, as I apply to graduate schools. I would love to go to graduate school for psychology. My main interests in psychology are cognitive/ neuroscience (brain and behavior), as well as medical and health psychology and experimental psychology. I am most interested in these facets of psychology because of their relation to health and medicine. I would love to make it to Med School one day, that is certainly the dream. I didn't realize until very late in my education, how deeply passionate I am about health and the medical field. Some of my other medical interests include, health policy, over-medicalization and over prescription of society, the medical fields control over health and wellness, brain research, and experimental research. As seen above, I would love to write and publish works at some point in my life. I love to write, non-fiction and scientific research, as well as creative fiction.
