Apartment living- What does it entail? Compared to the old days, apartment living has become more common among the people. Thanks to the many number of students and people moving out of their house to stay at a separate place for their work or for their studies, apartment living has gained a lot of popularity in the recent years. Even people who wish to move away from their house to live alone with their own family, choose the apartments to live in. Apartments have also gained popularity among…

Detention Camp-54 Nazarov woke to sounds of explosions. He opened his eyes to look at a dirtied but damp room, and saw downward, only to find himself in red clothes with the number "4859" etched in black ink. However, he would not be an inmate for very long. Gunshots pierced the skies en masse, and stray gunfire penetrated through the camp's concrete walls. As Nazarov tried to find what is going on, the main door slammed open, and several bandana-covered soldiers came in and started shooting…

fear, anxiety, and anger. The new school environment was different from the ones I had attended in the past, but I decided to make the most of it. When lunch came around I knew I'd rather sit in the library than hear administrators yell though the intercom about uniform violations. Day after day I went to the library at lunch and studied, learning how to read better. Eventually, my diligence paid off. My first quarter at Flowers I was able to attain a 3.75 gpa. I made my father cry, that report…

The entire predicament is so hazy. Suddenly, two black stools with plush round tops appear out of somewhere I was probably too unfocused to notice. She tells us to sit there for a couple minutes and she proceeded to disappear. Lilly looked at me in a fit of antsy jitters. She made a squealing noise and her hands were a blur of smacks to my arm. Surprisingly, her feet were completely still. Feeling the way she looked at the moment I’m sure my face portrayed a look of anxious tension. “Eeeh…

cannot handle the Los Angeles traffic and its congested freeways. She said if she had to drive it would take her about ten minutes to get out of her car. As for the specific parts of the job, she can be able to conduct sales over the phone on an intercom speaker. However, for the activities that she is unable to perform would be walking, standing, bending, stooping, squatting, carrying, lifting, twisting (waist) and reaching above head and the subtle use and manipulation required by his hands…

As I’m sitting at the terminal at LaGuardia International airport in New York City waiting on my flight to Los Angeles. Someone speaks over the intercom, “Attention passengers, the flight to Los Angeles will be delayed for two hours. I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.” Thinking to myself, “What the heck, this always happens when I fly.” I’ve already been sitting there for an hour, I decide to get up and stretch my legs. Wandering throughout the terminal passing by…

frosted windows. The camera cuts to a surveillance camera and zooms out to reveal that woman in a skin colored bodysuit stretched out on a moss green sofa like a marble sculpture. She appears to have no contact with the world outside except through the intercom and dumbwaiter. Her room is populated by reproductions of Louise Bourgeois’ fabric works created by ripping apart the dresses in her closet that she refuses to wear, and covered by texts that line every inch of the wall. Pedro Almodóvar’s…

studies. Results showed animal visitation programs within these facilities reduced the feeling of loneliness in patients (Banks & Banks, 2012). Having contact with an animal plays a significant role in increasing mood in both children and adults with mental health issues (Beetz et al., 2012). Researchers point out that one on one interaction with an animal is more effective than assigning multiple people to one animal, all who are looking to interact. However, assigning one animal to multiple…

distress and was exhibiting symptoms of ICU psychosis. This patient was very paranoid about anyone near the nurses’ station, and at one point the patient called 911 reporting that someone “has a gun pointed at me (the patient).” When the overhead intercom announced something, this patient also stood up and started walking down the hallway to “load the airplane.” According to patient self-report the patient had not slept all night. By the end of the shift, my preceptor had arranged the patient’s…

This past summer I had the experience of a lifetime, ten days in the breathtaking lands of Ireland and Scotland. Those ten days flew by like a marathon runner sprinting towards the golden trophy awaiting for its winner at the finish line. Pictures of monumental buildings and goofy tourist like photos flood my camera. Memories play over and over like a record player in my head, these memories I will hold close and cherish for a lifetime. I want to share a sneak peek of how much my life was…
