I learned a lot today about late adulthood. There were a lot of stereotypes that were broken for me. For example, I assumed older people saw life more negatively since they were closer to death but I learned I was wrong after hearing about the positivity effect. #CofcDevSci

I know plenty of students that have changed their majors multiple times. It is interesting to learn that the average a student changes their major while in college is 7 TIMES. I never changed my major, although this is my fifth college. #CofcDevSci

Although I am considered to be in early adulthood, I would not classify myself or anyone under the age of 25 an adult. I agree that bearing children holds a higher standard. Class really made me reevaluate my adulthood! #CofcDevSci

I found this article about personal fable and risk taking to be interesting. #CofcDevSci
