Most people, especially college students are trying to figure out their lives. Trying to streamline their routines and decide what they want to do as their career. The career shapes the day to day life of a person. It decides what they do, where they go, and who they meet. All of this routine can grow to be rigid and unbending as life goes on and college students become professionals. This structure can be comforting and rewarding but sometimes suffocating. Sometimes it’s fun to be spontaneous.
One man took this to the extreme. Max Hawkins did a TED talk about randomizing his life. And I see this as an extreme attempt to break out of their comfort zone and break the monotony of life. I see it as akin to a mid life crisis. The classic example is a guy getting older and buying a fancy sports car. Hawkins when faced with getting older and probably his own mortality, decided to take his mid life crisis to the extreme and let computer based math decide what he does, where he does it, and who he does it with. It sure does seem exciting. I give him a lot of credit!
