I spent way too much time trying to craft the perfect, polished response for my why major essay. It came out sounding so generic. Then, I decided to just be real and share how I stumbled into my interest in psychology after a tough semester.

Instead of saying I had always been fascinated, I wrote about how a class helped me understand my friend's struggles and lit a fire in me to learn more. The authenticity made all the difference!
