Living Things Essay

I’ve been here for hours. I can feel their eyes on me, their big gray eyes gazing over every inch of my body. I’ve been pretending to be asleep, waiting for morning, for help, something anything. Wait I think I may be getting ahead of my self here. It all started about two days ago. I collect gummy bears. I have ones in every shape, size, flavor and brand from all over the world. Unfortunately, there are still a couple of brands I have not gotten and one flavor. Normally I go on eBay to look for…

and seeing something so foreign, so disheartening, so uncomfortable, is quite frightening. Some, however, experience this misfortune on a daily basis. I am one of these individuals, and so naturally the thing that would make my world perfect is to change this. I am transgender, and so the only thing that I can envision that would make my world perfect is to be able to both be and be treated as I am inside, as a girl. Ever since I was young I have had instances of not really fitting in to the…

Directing is completely different than leading a crew or blocking in class. I thought that between all of my past experiences I could patchwork this whole ‘directing’ thing together. I was wrong. I was so wrong. You have your basic plan rehearsals, blocking, and costumes, but I was not expecting the typical ‘director’ questions, like “would my character react like x, y, or z” and in some cases it mattered and others it…

Self-esteem seems to be a similar problem in both todays women and women one-hundred years ago. Although, women were not able to do things on their own, and had to depend on others for everything, and women today are able to do those things, self-esteem is still low. Women one-hundred years ago had to depend on their husbands for money and were more than likely stuck at home being house wives and taking care of children, which lowered…

I worked as a lighting assistant / stagehand. Personally, I think most of our live lab went pretty well and smooth, we got everything done and set up even earlier than usual, we were an hour ahead of everything, not only because we were very confortable with our positions and helping each other out but also because it was a single girl act instead of a complete band performing on stage, which does not really give me a complete perspective of how a live lab could actually get in terms of…

Half a dozen eggs waited, untouched. Ally rinsed off another shell. Arthur pricked holes into each end of the sixth with a stubby pencil. He blew into it, aiming the goo at the bowl on the counter. Don’t touch it with your mouth! Ally, that’s the only way it works. You’ll get salmonella. And then, for my next trick, I’ll drop dead on stage! You worry too much, you lawyer. I won’t kiss you, then. She focused on the eggshell, dabbed it dry. Humidity beaded the walls. Mosquito stained…

Ever since she was young Yunoha had always been an incredibly unsocial child. This was due to her extreme shyness, and the ideals that she would never fit in with the other children. Even when others in her class would try and reach out for her (in call of trying to befriend said girl or even striking up polite conversation) their advances would always be inevitably rejected. This unfortunately led for each and every one of her classmates to slowly stop trying. To this day, Yunoha regrets not…

Hope is a mentality that every human being is capable of, whether they know it or not. Even though at times it may seem as if hope is nowhere to be found, it is still there lurking in the distance. In her poem “Hope” is the thing with feathers, Emily Dickinson explores this exact concept. Using a multitude of literary and poetic devices, Dickinson establishes the optimistic idea of hope existing as an unstoppable unit throughout the universe that is accessible to anyone and everyone. One of…

Thankful What are you thankful for in life? I’m thankful for several things in life. Thanksgiving started way before I was born, which started on November of 1621. I am thankful for Michael’s, food, and friends. The first thing I’m thankful for is, Michael’s, an art store right by my house. I’m thankful for Michael’s because, without that store, probably about 98% of my art supplies wouldn’t be in my room. You know, I got to Michael’s so much, the employees remember me and know who I am! One…

one time or another we may all be in a place where we will be looking for an Assisted Living Facility.
