for anyone born before 1995 they might have different opinions on this song. i can only experience the 2000s through pre-made nostalgia playlists and Deja Vu always sticks out as something I need to press repeat on
Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson (very specific memories listening to this in the car)
Hey ya! by outkast ( would play on repeat on my hello kitty radio and run laps through my house)
We are the champions by queen (my grandpa burned me a queen CD which we would listen to together )
My top artist on spotify for the last 4 years is Hiromi Iwasaki, a Japanese singer whose heyday was in the 70s and 80s. I think her voice is incredible. Many of her singles are disco-ey but also romantic and mature. I also find her original music show performances to be very charming, but most of them have been deleted from Youtube only to be uploaded again in worse quality.
preface: this is the opinion of someone who has yet to go to grad school but is in the same boat as you. I think if you just want to have a professional career as a counselor/therapist/social worker then you can do a master's degree that will help you get some from of clinical license (MSW, CCMHC, LMFT). I'm working in a direct care/nonprofit job before I apply for my master's just so that I know what I'm getting into before I lock in to a career doing this for the rest of my life lol. Getting prepared for a PhD is trickier because it's more competitive; you'll need research experience since that is mainly what a PhD student is doing (writing academic papers rather than working directly with patients). Since you've already graduated, you would need to do a post-bac program/volunteer in a psychology lab at a nearby university/or find a job doing psychology research to get that experience. I don't think a master's degree in psychology alone is the move unless you plan to go on to get a PhD.
