Here are your results:

Mostly As:
Psychology isn’t for you but trust me, PCS 181 “Introduction to Astronomy” might just be the course for you. With little room for error, you’d love to calculate the orbit of asteroids. Amidst all the other things in your life that you cannot control, this class would be the perfect place for you to feel right and in the driver’s seat for once. Between the constant calculator clicking and the numbers on numbers being thrown at you about the size of Jupiter’s third-largest moon, you will forget all your worries.

Mostly Bs:
You probably wouldn’t take psychology but hey, you already knew that. You probably spend half your paycheck at a fancy cafe every week to be different from the Balzac’s, Tim Hortons and Starbucks students. You want to be different, you’re not like other girls. That’s why, when everyone was taking this quiz to find out if psychology was for them, you just took the quiz for fun—-you already know which bird course you’re taking. Between shuffling through Reddit posts from a decade ago to scrolling through bird course lists, you are convinced GEO 793 “The Geography of Toronto” is for you. Quit wasting your time on this quiz and go explore the city with your expensive coffee in hand or whatever.

Mostly Cs:
Take the psych course! You know it, I know it, your friends know it, the person you were blatantly staring at for 10 minutes straight knows it. My point is, everyone knows you can’t go a second without psychoanalyzing everyone you encounter. The girl sitting at the other end of the library cracking her knuckles? She was definitely the oldest child forced to parent her younger siblings. The person in the food court covering their mouth as they laugh? Definitely grew up self-conscious and it’s obviously not something stuck in their teeth. Long story short, take the damn course and quit judging people for free—take some steps to at least get some money out of it.

Mostly Ds:
Avoid the psych course at all costs. I repeat, AVOID the course. You are an old soul. You don’t like to believe in all this psychology stuff. You should stay as far away from any of the bird courses and instead put your big brain to use in perhaps an organic chemistry course. You have no time to waste studying people, planets or cities. The sound of test tubes clinking or calculators clicking takes you to a mentally safe space where you are free from human interaction and other worldly desires.
