And I'm so self-involved that I'd make a thread about it. Also, I have some giveaways to give away, a couple for now anyhow.

I just ended my first week at UC Berkeley, it's really a change for me. I'm majoring in Philosophy (no comments from the peanut gallery, or go ahead, I've already heard that I won't make $$$). And I transferred from community college. It's really my first time living for a long time away from home.
Anyway, I enjoy Steamgifts, and I'd like to have some excuse to make a couple forum giveaways. So... Enjoy!

Also, if you know any interesting philosophy dealies to share, please do. Or if anyone is familiar with the university or area that has any advice or tips or something, that'd also be great to know.

Enjoy the giveaways, and good luck.

Maybe I'll add more, otherwise these'll last until 4:00 PM Pacific Standard Time tomorrow.

EDIT: Added another giveaway, since people on the free week couldn't enter the natural selection giveaway.

Specifically, not really. I've always had interests in ethics and religion, but really, the more I learned about philosophy, the more I wanted to learn more. I just found a feeling of belonging when in classes. But, very influentially, was another philosophy student whose speaking in class really was inspiring, and I just aspired to be more like him, being so at peace with the conflicts of the universe and the inner workings of minds. Basically, I find the discussions fun as hell, and I would really enjoy a life of doing just that.

Thank you for your reply. It's really interesting to see how other people find their "dream job".

I wish you good luck, hopefully you can make out your living out of it.

Congrats! I've been back at college for two weeks now (sophomore year!), and it's already kicking my butt. But hopefully I'll do better than I did last year (programming is terribly hard, apparently, and no one bothered telling me :P).

Cool dude, back in university too! As a business student, I feel that it is more pratical, but the job market is pretty saturated and you need to do quite a bit to make yourself stand out. But university is definitely great, hope you enjoy it tons

Good luck! Just remember: grades are important but what's really important is building your resume (or portfolio) up and making contacts.
Also I'm majoring in physical geography :)
