The beginning of a new career.

I was finally able to finish Cegep with very good marks. I can now go into my dream program, which is the Psychology program. But before that, I need to choose between two university. Both have very good reputation, they just happen not to be in the same part of town. UdeM is next to the Mont-Royal, UQAM is in downtown. Which one should I pick?

Choice 1 : University of Montreal.

Choice 2 : UQAM.

Choosing UQAM.

I finally started my Psychology program in my dream university. I had several thoughts of what should I do in my semesters. What should I choose?

Choice 1 : Mind my business. Be serious and talk to no one.

Choice 2 : Check out all of the student's groups and find one that I like.

Choosing University of Montreal.

I finally started my Psychology program in my dream university. I had several thoughts of what should I do in my semesters. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Mind my business. Be serious and talk to no one.

Choice 2 : Check out all of the student's groups and find one that I like.

Minding my business.

An exam and a lot of homework were assigned in the first month in my program. Because I was minding my business and being serious, I got straight A's in all of my courses. I also made a promise to myself, which is just to have good grades for this semester in order to be a good psychologist. All of my teachers also said to me that if I keep on this good energy, I will for sure be able to do an internship related to the field of Psychology, but on the other hand, I am also really tired, and I feel that I'm doing a burn out.

Choice 1 : Keep the good energy.

Choice 2 : Relax, and work less to avoid a burn out.

Keep the good energy.

After my semester, I was finally done with all of my homework and project. I was really tired, and was feeling a burn out, but the feeling of burning out disappeared when I learned that I got accepted to do and internship in France in a psychiatric hospital. I was so happy about this offer! If I decide to go, I would learn the ropes of the job of a psychologist, which is really good for my future career. But, I also got accepted to work in a cafe as a barista for the summer, which I also really enjoy, and it will be calmer for me.

Choice 1 : Accepting the internship.

Choice 2 : Work in a cafe.

Relax, and work less to avoid a burn out.

Relaxing and working less was a really good choice for my mental health, but I didn't keep my promise about getting good grades. Despite this bad new, I fortunately had a request from a private clinic in Ottawa in order to do an internship. I was really happy about this new, doing this internship would be very good for my background check in a future job, should I accept?

Choice 1 : Accept.

Choice 2 : Decline.

Work in a cafe.

I decided to go to the cafe instead of going to France. For all summer, I worked at the cafe. I was really getting good at latte art, and I was really happy about my situation even if it were a dead-end job. In the end, I decided to quit my program in order to work full time in the cafe. I realized that being a barista was more than a hobby. Even if I earn less than a psychologist, I was totally fine with my final choice.

Choice 1 : Try again?

Accepting the internship.

I was finally in France, more precisely in the psychiatric hospital with a psychologist that was showing me the ropes of the job. That day, she wanted me to take care of the diagnosis of the patient. The patient showed a lot of different signs. He wasn't able to focus when I was trying to ask him questions. He also told me that he had trouble sleeping, but was getting tired easily. I thought about two possible disorders for this patient, which one is the right choice?

Choice 1 : Anxiety disorders

Choice 2 : Depression

Declining the offer.

In the end, I wasn't sure if the Psychology program was a right fitting for me. I was feeling really overwhelm by the situation, so I decided to change my program in order to find a field that I will enjoy better. Which one should I choose?

Choice 1 : The medicine programs.

Choice 2 : The Business program.

Choice 3 : The Sociology programs.

Accepting the internship in Ottawa.

I decided to accept after a lot of thinking the internship in Ottawa. One day while I was on-the-job-training, my boss tried to touch me while flirting with me. After that interaction, I didn't know what to do, because being an intern was a privilege in that kind of company, but being a victim of sexual harassment is also not a positive thing. What should I do?

Choice 1 : Stay as an intern.

Choice 2 : Leave Ottawa go back to Montreal.

A good diagnosis.

I fortunately gave the good diagnosis to the patient. He will be able to have the right treatment to feel better mentally. Because of that, the hospital offered me a job at the hospital, but I needed to pass an interview in order to work there. What should I learn before this interview?

Choice 1 : Learn the ins-and-out.

Choice 2 : Learn the office politics of this job.

The wrong diagnosis.

Unfortunately, depression wasn't the right diagnosis for the patient. Because of the wrong treatment, the patient condition had deteriorated. Sadly, the person died a little bit after the diagnosis. Because of my diagnosis, I got fired, and I never touch the Psychology field again.

Choice 1 : Try again?

The medicine programs.

I decided to go to the medicine program, and I really enjoyed it. After my years of studying, I decided to specialize in psychology in order to become a psychiatrist.

Choice 1 : Go again?

The Business program.

I decided to go to the Business program, and it was fine with me. After finishing my years of studying, I decided to specialize in psychology in order to study business psychology.

Choice 1 : Go again?

The Sociology programs.

I decided to go in the Sociology program in order to become a sociologist. In the end, it wasn't the best choice, but now I am unfortunately stuck in this major.

Choice 1 : Try again?

Stay as an intern.

Staying as an intern wasn't a good idea at first. The boss would always try to touch me, but one day, an employee saw what he was doing. He reported his actions and got him fired. I was really happy that he was gone. Today, I am still at the same place as an employee.

Choice 1 : Go again?

Leave Ottawa go back to Montreal.

I decided to leave and go back to Montreal. I managed to find another place to be an intern, and it was a really good experience.

Choice 1 : Go again?

Learn the ins-and-out.

Learning the ins-and-out was definitely a good idea for this job. The person that was interviewing me was really happy about my knowledge and my seriousness. Now, I am working at this hospital, and I've never been better. Psychology was definitely my thing!

Choice 1 : Go again?

Learn the office politics of this job.

Learning the office politics wasn't a great idea. The person that was interviewing me had a horrific face when I was talking. In the end, I learned that they didn't take me, so I returned to Montreal. Now, I am still in university in the same field.

Choice 1 : Try again?

Checking student's group.

They were a lot of students group at the university, but two groups got my attention. Which one should I choose?

Choice 1 : The chilling group.

Choice 2 : The art group.

The chilling group.

I decided to give a chance to the Chilling group. The group was really dynamic and really fun. They invited me to a lot of parties, and I was really enjoying it. Unfortunately, because of all the event the group was organizing, I failed my semester, and I couldn't join the program anymore because of my non-seriousness.

Choice 1 : Try again?

The art group.

The art group was really interesting. They showed me how to draw and do different technique in art. Because of that, I quit the Psychology program and went to the Art program.

Choice 1 : Go again?
