I'm just very, very interested in philosophy as a field, and I think it complements psychology, and, in fact, all the subjects I'm currently taking, very well.

EDIT: I guess you could call me the social sciences guy

hey, i have no idea how old you are.

your parents knew you were in france?

also, a "major" simply refers to the area of study on which one focuses one's university studies. our undergraduate degree is a bachelor's, which is equivalent to like 1/2 of a british undergraduate degree because, again, our pre-graduate educational system sucks. however, our research is top-notch because we siphon in foreign students from other countries that have received superior undergraduate and pre-university educations.
