Argument Essay: Living In A Dorm

Improved Essays
In short, yes I have—many were made recently and more are coming soon. I refuse to continue living where I’m now; I’m preparing to apply for a dorm for upcoming semester and rent out the house I’m currently residing in. I also intend to kick my horrible mother off my land and into her own house that she owns out in the country due to the fact I wish to sell the RV I’m allowing her to live. It has reached the breaking point for me: I cannot continue to live in a place where all the people who should be helping and genuinely caring are abusing me verbally and psychologically. If I’m going to be able to continue to work towards my goal of a master’s degree in fine arts with an emphasis in graphic design/new media arts, I need to move into a dorm …show more content…
Alone or with others, I will continue to stand and fight for my rights as a human being. People may continue to abuse me and shove me around; there is a reason why I have received such an extensive amount of respect and trust and loyalty from my friends/family and strangers.
Role-models, mentors, teachers, preachers, caregivers, whomever a person looks up to for love, care, advice, and information, guide numerous people in life to—a hopefully improved and/or successful—future. Therefore, these people can either create or destroy another’s chances to obtain a decent adulthood. Given its quite common for children to pick and name one or two role-models, it is considered an oddity for a person to not designate at least one. Common thoughts regarding this concept appear to boil down to: “why would a child not have a role-model? How come they wouldn’t appoint one? That just doesn’t happen! Everyman looks up to some person!” Certainly sounds similar to an illogical fallacy, yet the notion is entirely possible—though I will refrain from stating this deems the idea as “logical,” simply for the reason that something is possible, that does not constitute its logicality. Children who are seen as “mature for their age” have the potential to be more psychologically and emotionally advanced than other people their age: meaning there is a chance for them to be a miniature, naive adult-equivalent—now, before this gets out of hand, no this does not equate to their

As stated earlier, people prefer to select others with desired qualities and begin to adjust their appearance, behavior, mannerisms, etc. to match them as they see fit. They will often pester their role-models with questions dealing with what they are presently doing, why they are doing it, etc.—the average four year old will ask around four hundred and thirty (430) questions a day—all in the hopes of growing their knowledge in relation to them and furthering their likeness to the other person(s), minus the everlasting search they go on for common logic but I digress. Consequently, by altering themselves to mimic the role-models, they are changing how they will approach future accomplishments, failures, setbacks, as well as other people and what they are going

    There is a famous saying that maturity is not defined by age. In other words, maturity is an attitude built by experiences. In the novel of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the main character and narrator, Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, matures through her own experiences from a young child to become a compassionate young lady. During the 1930s the town of Maycomb, Alabama deals with many social issues that involve the class system, racial segregation, cult of domesticity, and educational equality.

    Being myself is effortless over attempting to mimic others’ behaviors. When I am true to myself, I am not required to stress so much about anyone contradicting or having negative opinions to say when I do not choose the same decisions as them. The pressure to look like everyone around and conform to society decreases as I learn my own self worth. Showing my own character by doing what I trust is correct, dressing the way I am comfortable in and by not letting people's opinion influence my decisions , has permitted me to grow as a person. For example, I participate in activities that I enjoy and take classes that I find accommodating, to allow myself to stay true to myself.…

    Everyone has time to be healthy Freshman 15 is an expression used to describe an arbitrary amount of weight students put on in their first year of post secondary studies, usually due to unhealthy eating and poor exercise habits. Students say they struggle finding a balance between work, leisure, and maintaining healthy habits, leading to a lack of exercise, and poor nutrition. These complaints are clearly caused by a lack of intrinsic motivation and a growing status quo of complacency, rather than actual time constraints. Despite the vast number of home workouts that one can complete in under ten minutes, students will still excuse themselves from any form of physical activity, in favour of inactive alternatives. The problem is further pushed…
