existential spiral

i have a bachelors degree in philosophy from a top rated philosophy program. i'm proud of this and yet at the same time, it kind of sucks. because from time to time, i have existential crises. sometimes a higher education in the intangible abstract leads to needless worry and circular thought patterns.

wikipedia is nice enough to define my chronic existential problem as "the sudden awareness of not knowing what one's life is all about and/or the sudden awareness of one's inevitable impending personal doom." this is a fairly accurate definition. wikihow also gives some tips on how to deal with an existential crisis.

in all likelihood, i will read some kierkegaard later, eat a bawc and stop being a creepy philosophy student.
