i know why i'm here
I figured out what it is that I'm doing at college. According to Daniel Gilbert in his book titled Stumbling on Happiness, I am following Shakespeare's wisdom to: "go to your bosom, knock there and ask your heart what it doth know". Essentially all of my courses are asking for students to do some deep identity searching and finding. We're writing endless journal entries that all have to be personal about our lives and our journeys and so on. So who knows, maybe I'll emerge from this more self-aware with a stronger identity. At least that seems to be the goal . . . of every single one of my current professors, so I better like it.

About Me
- nereid
- I am a recent college grad with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I'm working in a coffee shop. I plan to pursue at phD in Counseling at George Mason University. The Nereids, however, are mystical female creatures that dwell in the Mediterranean Sea. These beautiful women were always friendly and helpful towards sailors fighting perilous storms. They are believed to be able to prophesize. As my blogger name "nereid" implies, there is a connection between me, the college student, and the Nereids. And that connection is this blog. I effectively use this blog to pretend I am not a college student. With all of the stressors of daily life this blog lets me dwell in the sea. I am, after all, a Pisces which is the fish, a water-dwelling creature. I hope my prophetic nature will show but if not there is another purpose to this blog in that it is like a journal! Please feel free to read all about my life; what's here is yours to take.
