Probably because it's a straightforward conversation piece, pretty much everyone I saw this break asked me "How is college?"
I usually gave the same answer, though of course with some variation: "I'm really happy there, I like it a lot (feigned exclamation point)."
It's actually a question I asked myself a few times during the semester -- a preoccupation with the question of happiness stuck with me from high school -- and each time, I'd told myself that I was happy. Then when other people asked me, I would again say yes, I was happy.
The thing is, I didn't actually believe what I was saying at first. But eventually I did.
I wonder: maybe happiness is merely a form of self-delusion. After all, if you're deluding yourself effectively enough, it's not as if you would be able to tell the difference.
