THE THIRD SOUTHERN AFRICAN STUDENTS’ PSYCHOLOGY CONFERENCE JOHANNESBURG, 24 TO 28 JUNE 2013

Abstract

The following account seeks to articulate the profound experiences acquired during the 2013 bi-annual psychology conference held at Wits University. The prestigious event was a five day thriller held in conjunction with Unisa's psychology department. It started on Monday, June the 24th and ran until the Friday of the same week. Reflecting on those five days, I can confirm that these are moments I will live to cherish forever. Simply put, they are the epitome of my young career life as an aspiring psychologist. But quite paradoxically, the fulfilment and realisation of this almost impossible dream did not come at a reasonable price. Allow me to take you through this journey.
