There is no possible way for a global phenomenon to be outright banned. However, consumers can approach an ethical way to live and purchase in a world dominated and manipulated by the fashion industry. There are many alternatives for consumers to have an ethical wardrobe. One option is the Do It Yourself (DIY) trend. DIY…
with it with the journey 's end in mind because that would be overwhelming. Instead, by breaking down any task into manageable steps, I don 't have to wait for success at the journey 's end, but rather create a series of small successes along the way. This way my goal would be more enjoyable, less stressful, and successful! In the words of Dan Millman, this law is explained perfectly within this quote, “If one focuses only on the journey 's end, completion always appears in the distance.…
species with shorter life spans evolve quicker and benefit the species as a whole. Before reading this, I believed organisms with short life spans were weak because they couldn’t live long.

While I was practicing, I…

Think Before You Eat Chocolate “At 6 a.m., 10-year-old Emmanuel wakes and readies himself for a day of labor in the cocoa fields. Along the way, he watches as other kids walk in the opposite direction - toward school. He reaches the fields at sunrise and uses his machete to slice ripe cocoa pods from the tree. Later, he carries the cocoa pods he’s harvested from the field, hacks them open and gathers the beans, which will later be used to make chocolate.” Kids in Ghana have to wake up every day…

Now I am living 5 hours away from that familiar area, taking care of myself, and studying for finals. This first semester of freshman year has been incredible, eye opening, and a lot shorter than I could have ever imagined.
