<p>Hi all!</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone here has ever felt this way, and how Chicago has been for you.</p>
<p>So I’m the kind of guy who likes to learn. Everything. I’m disorganized, sloppy, a procrastinator; the kind of guy who can’t focus on a particular thing. But I notice that I’m passionate about a lot of things. I like to write poetry, study foreign languages and do dream interpretation. I also like to envision machines in my head, and design them with the tools of math and physics. I like to study different things going on the world, from economic development and humanitarianism to various spiritual movements.</p>
<p>My dream is to be a polymath, to be able to construct things that I imagine, to be able to communicate with everybody on the planet. A good thing about Chicago is that I don’t know what I want to do yet for a profession - which right now is engineering. I know Chicago has no school of engineering, but I think that getting a degree in an academic discipline that I’m passionate about will give me some time. Also, it gives me the fundamental knowledge I need.</p>
<p>The problem is, I know that with the Core and the small amount of electives after our major, I wouldn’t really have much time to do other things I’m passionate about. Am I the only who feels this way? Do you find that your Chicago completes all your passions? If you have, I would really appreciate the input, as this is one of the considerations of the school.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
