    Marry me, Gavin. <3

    I'm a grad student in psych (specifically: industrial/organizational psychology, under the guise of an MBA lol) and what I found most interesting about your response is how terminology differs slightly across borders. You mentioned cognitive conflict; I know it as cognitive dissonance!

    Note to self: First time harping on about uni work has garnered me a proposal. Score! ^_^

    Yeah, I know some books/articles I read mentioned cognitive dissonance - they were probably the American ones in hindsight. Cognitive conflict has a nice ring to it I reckon.

    I think a psych degree would've been really interesting. (Was it?) I'm doing BA Honours and it's in Creative Writing, which is my passion, but learning about psychology in order to write about it was truly fascinating. If I ever had the chance to do a second degree or something, I think Addiction Studies or Psychology would totally be the way to go, it really intrigues me.
