Assignment #15- Emma Lauritzen- the brain

Who? What? When? Where? WHY?
These are the fundamental questions. Honestly I am distracted easily, anyone who has ever spoken to me would compare my attention span to that of a golden retriever. Most of the time I can reel it in and focus (ish) but there is one topic-you could call it the dog bone to my golden retriever attention span- and that is the following:
The Human Condition
I am absolutely fascinated with how the human mind works, how it evolved into what it is today. Why do we do this? Have we always done this? Why do we do this? Humans are weird, why did we replace the dinosaurs, how did we get (in our opinion) to the top of the food chain? My whole life Ive loved listening to people speak and learning about everyone's unique condition of life. 
Although all of our brains are roughly the same, there is an extreme variance in personality that we see in few to no other species. Our brains and ways of living have expanded beyond that of any other species to the point where we are able to study ourselves, which absolutely blows my mind. That's why I want to be a psychologist, because I would literally get to study this topic every single day and I would always be learning more. The human brain is fascinating, our perceptions of emotions, color, people, and the world are unique to our individual minds.
This sounds creepy but I love people watching (don't lie, you do too) because you learn so much about how unique the human condition is. I could sit for hours and listen to people tell me their life stories and their answer to this prompt, what makes them tick, what makes them happy or sad. Along with this its fascinating that conditions like synesthesia and aphantasia exist in the same species.
I would like to write more on this topic but I have peer editing for this class that I need to do.
