<p>The UC application asks about "how the world you live in has affected your goals and aspirations." But I don't have any definite career goals. I want to "be happy" but I don't know if I'll achieve that by letting myself be swept in the winds of human culture or distancing myself from it so that I can learn to think, even if that distances me from almost every other person on the planet.</p>
<p>I don't know if an attempt to get all philosophical when I have lots of questions and not so many answers is going to be viewed as a great personal statement... :(</p>
<p>I can't think of some super interesting life story BS, that's really just not me. What should I do?? Go for it?</p>
