For example, Sadness touched a memory, and subsequently became tainted with sadness, which greatly troubled Joy.

I have enjoyed taking this course overall as I have met my professor, visited campus, and may take more courses at Millersville since I have learned what taking a college course is like. Even though I learned about Psychology throughout this course, I also learned about myself as a student.
