The Self- an identity. The perception of how we see ourselves or how we would like to see ourselves. A combination of qualities and characteristics that make us all individuals. Our personality. We are all different, we are all distinct. Each of us posesses certain attributes that make us all heterogeneous — and yet we are all homogeneous. We congregate in this pseudo-metropolis known as a university — Taking many of the same classes, drinking in the same bars and living in the same pre-stylistic cubicals. But still the self persists. Some find solace in the company of others, some find it within themselves. Cluttered within the masses, and yet still detached Individuals trying to remain that way, trying to retain that last shred of insanity. Sometimes we cannot. Occasionally, we get caught up in the confusion and lose the self. But it can never really be lost. It is an intangible belonging that makes us special — makes us individual; makes us . . . The Self.
