In a Few Short Sentences, Define Freedom...

That's what our research writing prof asked us to do tonight. I sat there for like 10 minutes just staring at my paper. I honestly didn't think I was going to come up with anything, but I finally ended up with this:

Yeah, I figured that I'd just stay as vague and abstract as possible and it'll sound brilliant.
