i went to the big university today as part of my transfer strategies class. it’s really big. i’ve been there before, but never by myself. i just pretended that lady friend was with me and it didn’t seem so bad.
the main presentation was rather boring and didn’t even include any new information. this class should be called redundancy strategies. but anyway, i got to meet the people from the college i’ll be attending (social and behavioral sciences). and i even took a self-guided tour of the main social sciences building.
i decided to major in philosophy for two reasons. 1: i always think too much. i over think and then i think some more. it’s a gift, it’s a curse, but i haven’t found a way to stop it. 2: i’m not certain about anything. i’m not even certain about my major, which makes me certain that philosophy is the right choice. you may be asking yourself: how does that work? i will tell you. when i took intro to philosophy, i thought i’d just be learning about some old geezers from greece. boy, was i wrong. it was a comprehensive course that covered everything from socrates to the state of the housing market. how is this possible? because philosophy doesn’t just cover western or eastern philosophy, it covers everything. it’s boundless. it’s about thinking and about understanding and keeping an open mind. so when i say i’m indecisive and uncertain, philosophy says, “that’s cool, just go where your mind takes you.” and that’s precisely what i aim to do.
