Omegas...

So as some fo you know I am a junior in college this year. The school year is almost over for me with just 3 months & a week left. In August I will be starting my senior year which means starting my omega presentation. Omega is a presentation of research you have put together on a topic of your choice that you have to present to you major advisors, dean of students, dean of the college, etc. and then they judge and grade you on it and that determines if you graduate or not. It is scary and a lot of pressure. I know some of the majors let students pair up when doing the research and presentation and I need to find out if my major lets us do that. Working with someone would help with the stress of it as long as we both do our parts. My only problem so far is that I have no idea what topic to do for my omega. I am doing it under my psychology degree and not my biology degree. My child psychopathology professor said that studying resilience in children is always a good topic to pick but I don't know exactly what I would do for it. Plus being in college most of the year I don't have a lot of contact with smaller children. A guy last year done his on mood changes based on the music we listen to. He had students use a mood tracker to track their moods before and after they listened to one of the many playlists he had created for them. A health science major did his on people's understanding of nutrition, serving sizes, obesity, etc. We basically have to pick our own topic, do our own research for it, create our own surveys to give to students to fill out, write a paper and create a presentation off of the information you have to gather throughout the year. I just wish picking a topic would come easily to me as it does other.
