When he said there would be Breakfast Club spoilers I paused, watched all of Breakfast Club, then unpaused.

I'm supposed to be finishing up my assignment due tomorrow...but more and more of these videos keep popping up and it's honestly a lot more interesting

It's so amazing to me that videos like crash course are available and completely free to the public. I, like most people, have concentrated interests but I love listening to all kinds of crash course videos. I wish that everybody would take advantage of things like this. Knowledge is power!

I should be studying for my bio test.. But this is cooler

When you're a college drop out who went to school for theater and dropped out due to physical and mental health and loss and an assult and now thanks to hank green you plan to go back in maybe a year if you're healthy enough and take psychology. thanks hank green

When I got to 30 years of age finally it all made sense... I wish someone told me that before, not to stress, not to rush during my 20's but that's life and valuable lessons learned either way

On a somewhat brighter note, the whole "Stand out versus fitting in" issue has been a huge factor in my life for a while now. I've never had issues standing out but I've never truly felt like I fit in. Maybe college will be better.

I like how he says what we learned at the end because I'm always just like

"thank u kindly man I am educated"

[urqful]

This is the only reason i pass ap psychology tbh

[juliadiane]

I feel like this video should have been titled "Aging" or something along the lines of that. They spent more time talking about late adulthood than actually discussing adolescence. Despite the misleading title, this was still very interesting.

[mostafaelsaid]

This video actually helped me understand my grandma

[jennajackson]

psych1000 exam in the morning and this is what i’m finishing my night with to “unwind” and “give myself a break”

[dalaltahiraaachoui]

Adolescence the most awkward stage of life

[smileyface]

Nothing wrong with being close to your family as an adult. American cultural values promote independence and isolation from one's family as a sign of maturity, but this is not shared by other cultures.

[jayfolk]

i came to learn about late childhood-emerging adulthood, and i saw the crisises of my entire life flash before my eyes.

[blackkittyfreak]

In the last stage of development in Erikson's model, I would likely have fear, anxiousness, or disappointment, rather than integrity or despair. I'm such a novelty seeker, I don't think I could ever be happy with just one natural lifetime.

[mildrednromero]

great teaching coupled with great sense of effective combination!....I wish more professors utilized your method....they will make learning more fun and dynamics!....Thanks!....

[maddiboyle]

my great-grandma lived until she was 98 and her health didn't even really start to decline until the last 6 months of her life so Id say she lived a pretty good life

[aperson]

I strongly object to the implication that a "healthy" intimate relationship is the determining variable for mental health in young adulthood. It's very possible to find fulfillment in other social arrangements, and to fail to find fulfillment generally when that area of life is satisfied. Even if singleness and the conditions you identify do coexist, that need not imply a causal relationship. I've discouraged the few people who've tried to get close to me in that way mainly because isolation provides me with the best venue in which to struggle with my life situation and because I wouldn't want to render someone emotionally dependent on me and then slip into one of my frequent depressive episodes. I'm single because I'm depressed, not the other way around!
