LETTER FROM A READER: HAPPINESS (D89)

Dear TYCDIGS,

I am a miserable grad. Show me the way to something slightly resembling happiness.


Thanks,


Glum in college suburbia


Dear GiCS,

I think the best way to arrive at real happiness is to become a fanatic for some sort of pointless sport. But if you study any of the social sciences I'm familiar with, your graduate education has no doubt taught you that allegiance to any sort of sports team just some pointless derivative of nationalism. So you could try a hobby that fits into your budget, like bottle collecting, especially if you live in a state with cash deposits.

Love,

TYCDIGS
