Just recently I have got to thinking about how we define ourselves as people. So often people say to me "what do you do?", increasingly I find this question difficult to answer. I feel like I do lots of things; would you like to know what I do to pay my bills? what I have studied when I submit an assignment? what I want to be when I grow up?
I tend to satisfy people by defining myself as a PhD Candidate, although sometimes I am not sure that the people who ask really knows what that means. They probably just think I am a poor, hippy uni student who can't be bothered getting a real job.
Regardless, I have started to think less about tangible things that define me as an individual. Consider the above quote. What do you think? By what means do you define yourself and your life?
