While exploring the world the sense of sight is of great importance. Along with this comes the ability to see colors - something we are not able to avoid. It is now known, that colors do affect our mood, can help to express and understand emotions and may even be a cause of current feelings towards an object or a person.
Number of charts have been created explaning what does different colors mean and which of them are the most suitable in a specific situation. Furthermore there are such colors whose significance can be considered as international: white-peace (flag), black-mourning, purple-royalty, yellow-sun (happyness) etc. This is of course not the only meaning of the colors mentioned though the idea is clear. People tend to express themselves dressing in various colors.

Advantages and disadvantages of working as a psychologist in specific subfield
Working as a psychologist requires determination and strong desire to help people. From my point of view, cross-cultural psychology is one of the most atractive and necessary subfields in this day and age. Though it still has both, positive and negative sides.
To begin with, working as a cross-cultural psychologist involves interaction with members from various ethnic, racial, subcultural groups. The knowledge acquired through this experience strengthens the feeling of tolerance towards others as well as reveals the differance of the perception of life accross the world. Futhermore, this kind of job can also be a motivation to explore the culture you are part of, be proud of it and manage to compare and explain its features.
On the other hand, as the above-mentioned subject investigates the similarities and differences in and across various cultures and ethnic groups it claims for much more than academic intelligence. You are obligated to cognize a complex culture from the inside, though it may sometimes be very different from yours, to understand particular subtleties and the finer points of it. You must put in lots of effort and strengh if you want to become a good psychologist. Even a small misunderstanding can lead to unpleasant consequences due to simple inattention to details.
Nevertheless, despite cross-cultural psychology may look like a tough one, I admire it a lot as it offers the possibility to expand your horizon, ensures active and vital life-style and provides thrilling and exciting way of learning.

Why I decided to study psychology
To tell the truth I made this decision after I had taken all of my exams. There were only couple of weeks left and I still had not filled my application form. Then I started crossing out the courses I would never choose to study until five subjects were left. One of these subjects was psychology. After I had found and read credits of psychology at Mykolas Romeris university I was attracted and surprised how interesting it looks like. I wrote psychology at the top of my application and... here I am!
I am not highly excited and I am neither sad. It was not "a dream come truth" for me, because I did not know then and I remain unsure of what is the destination of my life and where it leads. Though I think the following four years will bring a great pleasure to me and I will find more and more amusing sides of psychology.
