I grew up in Central Texas, US, where it was hot and sunny. When it rains (or hails) it lasts about 2 hours; I never owned an umbrella until I moved away. I lived for 25 years in Rhode Island. If there was a lot of snow, I wanted to be outside skiing, or I didn't mind being "snowed in" so I couldn't go anywhere, no one could visit, and it was even better if the the phone and/or electricity went out. THEN I moved to Florida (retired husband and family) and it is again always hot and sunny. Today for the first time in ages it is pouring rain and a bit dark. I am enscounced in front of my TV with a favorite drink and as happy as a clam. Does this mean I am an introvert? or something else? I know it isn't pathological, but it strikes me as odd. Thanks for your insight(s).

Hello everyone! I’m currently an undergraduate student majoring in Psychology and minoring in sociology and have no idea how to get my foot in the door. I’m tired of doing part-time restaurant jobs and want to finally branch out into my career. I’m looking for internships, but I was wondering if any certifications would be helpful in the meantime, like health & life insurance or something else. I also accepted a TA position for the following two semesters which I feel is an okay start. Any ideas that would fit my major and minor and something I can complete within the year? I don’t feel like I’m doing enough.
