Fit But You Know It

isolation and belonging actually have a connection. Two short stories, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, showcase characters that are isolated. The characters are very different from their peers and do not fit into society. However, despite the isolation of these characters, they still have a sense of belonging. Throughout the stories it becomes clear that the differences of isolation and belonging are irrelevant when their connection comes into…

that one plays at home, or trying to fit in a group at school etc. The first identity struggle that comes to my mind is when a person is feeling like they’re neither a child or an adult, when I was in Psychology of Adolescent, my professor asked how many of us are adult…

textbook, Discovering Psychology, mentions on page 239, there are not blood tests or scans that you can do in determining whether or not you have a specific mental illness. People’s behavior must be observed and after that, doctors typically refer back to the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) for diagnosis. Even though there is no scientific or chemically proven way to show that you do in fact have a mental illness, I do still believe that they are there. Like medical…

match someone else’s idea of normal. By working to fit in they are hindering their own ability to grow as a person and losing some of their individualism. The desire for social acceptance could potentially be the biggest way we our chained in society today, especially for younger individuals. While there is nothing wrong with someone working to fit in, it becomes a problem and a detriment when they start changing who they are as an individuals to fit how other people think they should act and…

The Gothes Ohh the rebels, those that love to stick their noses up at the blond haired, cardigan wearing girls who want to fit in. The irony is their decision to wear black eyeliner, keep their hair in front of their eyes and incorporate chains and studs into their wardrobe as much as possible makes them a clique of their own. Nothing like agreeing to not fit in so that you fit in to another different clique. The Jocks or the Athletes This crew may seem like it overlaps with the popular kids,…

Sequence: I use sequence every day. I follow my calendar throughout the day. I love to make lists. I like to have a plan and know what to expect. I read instructions over and over again to make sure I’m completing a task correctly. Precision: I use precision almost as much as sequence. I enjoy researching topics and learning a lot about different subjects. I enjoy game shows like Family Feud and any form of trivia. I can also be scatterbrained at times. Technical Reasoning: I don't use…

but to let everyone know who they were. The gamers, those weren’t in the cafeteria as much, but you could always spot one they were almost always on the computer playing video games, or in the library. The nerds, they usually spent their lunch in a classroom or study groups, going over that days quiz in history. Plus of course you can’t have a high school without the “gangsters”, now they each had their own territory and we all were aware not to cross it. Those were the ones you would most…

Lone Star College has a lot of helpful resources and services that I didn’t know about, but there were only 5 that really stood out to me. The first service were The Dance and Zumba Classes in the health and wellness center because I do like to stay active and I feel like those to classes will help to stay fit. Secondly, I chose the Library because they have study rooms that students can use to study when they need a quiet place to look over notes, and I feel that this will benefit me a lot…

me with the answer, I would then bring out an enlarged printout of a calendar and whilst the class are watching I would circle todays date, from this I would tell the class that this is today. I would then point to yesterday’s date and ask them “Can you tell me this date please”. Once I have received the answer I will explain that this date is the date before today…

Hello Asia, Thank you for responding to my post! I was not previously aware of his mother’s actions during his childhood, we probably watched two different videos. Finding that out has led me to believe that his mother sort of had issues too, it makes me wonder if something was wrong genetically. I think it is scary to live in a place while knowing of the horrible things that took place nearby. Reminds me of a few years ago when phoenix had a serial rapist on the loose. It was hard trying to…
