Well, you have to ask yourself what use a philosophy major is going to have in modern society. Arts are important, they're not going to fix the economy, or boost American productivity. I've always found arts educations to be oddly pyramid schemed.

Often I lie wide awake, thinking of things I could make.
But I don’t seem to have the parts to build them.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end, for I am not prepared.
I hope I will get the chance to be someone, to be human.
