"Happiness depends upon ourselves" - Aristotle


I've decided I need a change. Don't get me wrong: I love being a college student. I love reading and learning. Nothing makes me happier than aquiring new knowledge. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only thing that makes me happy. I happen to be surrounded by idiots who ruin my day. No one seems to understand me. All they want to do is party and slack. They don't understand the value of a meaningful conversation. I can't relate to them in the least. They probably don't even know who Aristotle is. I can't be in this environment anymore. My philosophy professor mentioned something the other day about an upcoming pilgrimage to Canterbury. It would be an adventure and a great change. I think that I might need to get away for awhile. I'm not sure if I'm going to go or not, but I'll keep you posted.
