Topics for a psychology paper

I have to write a paper for my psych class about "a psychological topic applied to a personal experience."
I really hate this class, and though I haven't read any of the book at all, I have passed both exams that i've had so far.
I know that it may be difficult to make recommendations to me because a lot of you aren't familiar with my personal experiences, but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Suggestions on ways to bullshit my way through the paper are welcome as well.
Thanks in advance.

It seems impossible to give a recommendation given that we don't know your personal experiences. Instead of bullshitting through the paper, why don't you try actually working on it? Way back in uni I took a psychology class that I wish now I had paid more attention to instead of doing the least I could and bsing as much as I could. In a few years you will probably look back and wish you paid more attention to your class too :p Or maybe not

That is a valid point. I was thinking about writing about when I was addicted to opiates, but I'm not sure if Opiate Addiction is a valid and appropriate topic.

Honestly, who gives a shit about appropriateness.
Its totally relevant.
If people are perturbed by it, then perhaps they shouldn't be in a class whose subject is essentially about themselves, about humanity.
IMO the 'darker' aspects of human experience are not talked about or explored enough.
As Carl Gustav Jung said,
βThere is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.β

You could write about gender roles and gender development and how they have affected your life. I just wrote a paper on this subject.
What is the name of the psychology class? Course number?

Now how the fuck are you going to hate a psychology class? Write about your fear of death.
