I too was asked what I thought life meant. I remember i wrote, " its simple, the meaning of life is happiness." If you try to add to this statement you've done to much. Do less. In understanding the statement, the key to happiness i think is balance. Balance in everything you do. That is why architecture is so fulfilling for me. We are supposed to know a lot about a lot of different things and be interested in many areas and proficient in doing many things. I think my time here in Barcelona has made me a more balanced person. I don't know that I could live in a large city for any longer than I have been here but having done it has given me necessary knowledge and experience. I understand that there is no one right answer to happiness. While I may be much happier away from the city, I know that it is necessary for balance, variety, and the happiness of millions of others that occupy the planet.Additionally, I would just like to add that most of my favorite memories from this semester are about sharing food and playing music with the great group that came here. Also, I have listened to Eddie Vedder's Garaunteed ten times in a row while writting this.....
