Right Now,
I am finding myself at a fork in the road about whether I want to go into Philosophy or Psychology. In a perfect world I would like to integrate perspectives from both disciplines and do most of my writings and research on Critical Race Theory, Feminist Theory, and Human Sexuality (in no particular order). I am attempting an undergraduate thesis in Philosophy that will attempt to do this. I will use this experience as a preview to how things may be attempting to merge these two ideas. The real problem is that I do want to go into Counseling, so I have a slight affinity to the discipline of Psychology. With that said, my undergraduate experiences with both of these departments are so opposing, where the Psychology department has been cold and stand off-ish, and the Philosophy department has been nothing but open and supportive of their students. I will have to decide what to do before August, since that is when I will be applying for graduate school. What I may end up doing is applying to both Philosophy AND Psychology programs, and seeing if any actually accept me. haha. TO BE CONTINUED..
The song I chose may not be as coordinated with this topic as it is inspiring to me:
Living on a Prayer
Once upon a time
Not so long ago
Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
He's down on his luck...it's tough, so tough
Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love
She says: We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
Tommy got his six string in hock
Now he's holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers: Baby it's okay, someday
We've got to hold on to what we've got
'Cause it doesn't make a difference
If we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot
For love - we'll give it a shot
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer
We've got to hold on ready or not
You live for the fight when it's all that you've got
We're half way there
Livin' on a prayer
Take my hand and we'll make it - I swear
Livin' on a prayer

Maybe I will figure this out.
