Whether the student is an out of state student or they live down the street, and also their financial stability, plays a giant role in where they will end up living. Each option picked no matter if it is on or off campus comes with a different effect, or outcome.

At this presentation I will do my best to fill the minutes with factual and interesting information that is related to the beautiful farm home. I am looking forward to also meeting
`Where did we come from?', `Why are we here?', `Where are we going?'. These are questions which surface, centre stage, at some point in most people's lives. For philosophers, and others, they constitute the core problem known traditionally as the Meaning of Life. It might be thought that the first task in considering the question of the `Meaning of Life' is to define the key terms: `Life' and `Meaning'. However, the meanings of `Meaning' are many; and `Life' itself could be seen as not so much

correct when he says the “the unexamined life is not worth living” In order to discuss why Socrates is correct, I would like to discuss these various points which consist of: the significance as well as the underlying meaning of his quote “the unexamined life is not worth living”, the difference between an unexamined life and an examined life, specific examples, the importance of a person living an examined life and lastly, whether or not I’m living an examined life.

Lewis’ essays Learning in War Time and On Living in an Atomic Age there is a reoccurring theme. The theme displayed in both essays was not to be distracted in times of crisis and continue living. Lewis believes one must work through the threats faced in this world. Working and living through these times consists of one acting to the fullest humanistic potential.

An old, wise man once asked a question to a young boy, who was disinterested in the essential facts of life,“What generates thoughts?” One could answer that it’s our experiences that formulate our thoughts, or that maybe they have always been buried deep within our soul.

Famous philosopher Socrates believed that the unexamined life is not worth living, this is something I highly agree on.
