At some point during the spring of junior year, I realized I knew very little about the human brain, but enjoyed using mine quite a bit. Ignorance is to be resisted and erased if at all possible, and so I managed a minor in Neuroscience in my last year of college. I wish I could have kept pushing that envelope. Physics. Anthropology. Electrical Engineering. Business. The world is complex and knowing one thing runs the risk of leaving you dumbfounded at the basics facts of life that you left unexplored. If I could go back, I would take a course every summer in an area I thought I did not care about; I bet I could prove myself wrong every time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n                          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--spacer \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--spacer\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--signup-form \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n  <div class=\"c--component c--signup-form\"\n    \n      >\n\n    \n<div class=\"text-image-container\">\n  <div class=\"text-container\">\n\n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--section-title\">\n\n    \n  <h2>\n          Meet other Alumni\n      <\/h2>\n\n\n<\/div>\n    \n              \n<div class=\"f--field f--description\">\n\n    \n  <p>Deep dive into other undergraduate psychology alumni stories!
