the psychology students

as requested by @hugefrogkai

textbooks stacked on your desk in neat piles, sticky notes marking the passages you have to memorize

warm tea with honey on cold mornings

studying the work of those who have gone before, wanting to make your own discoveries

basement laboratories, bright with the glow of fluorescent lights

antique sketches of the brain stuck to your walls

wanting to help people, chasing the greater good

strong opinions on your favorite and least favorite famous psychologists

learning the psychology of memory and using it to study more efficiently

soft hair clipped up out of your face

clean morning light through your window

studying in a cafe, enjoying the sounds of people living their lives all around you

a need to understand human behavior

tortoiseshell glasses and silver earrings

knowing meyers-briggs isn’t scientifically valid but making your friends take it anyway

neat handwriting, black pen on crisp white paper

keeping your favorite research papers on your desk, annotated with your thoughts in the margins

adhering to a firm code of ethics

long hallways and big lecture classes

-we're both socially awkward

- we always upset unless we're with someone we love
