Nevertheless, I am married with a man, who is doing PhD, for four years, and was working full-time in DC area for two years, before I started to the program. I am also from Turkey, and currently a graduate assistant in the same program. Actually, I was expecting some conflict in my life before I started to the PhD, but not that much! Because I got married after I…

a.) Solitude is a desirable condition. This statement is false. On page 38 of the novel, Lenina and Fanny have a conversation in which Fanny mentions that she will not be going out with anyone that evening. As a result, “Lenina raised her eyebrows in astonishment.” This exchange indicates that solitude is not the norm. On page 45 we observe that those who spend time unaccompanied are viewed as outsiders, therefore when Lenina wishes to spend time with Bernard Marx, Fanny protests, “he spends…

students are risking their grades to earn minimum wage. A job creates a less personal life for a student that it does not allow them to have leisure time or even a social life. Those who get a job at a younger age develop risky health issues that can develop into something big. Students who get jobs at a younger age are at risk or low school effort, less leisure time and a higher risk of health issues. School is the most important stage a child…

activities you choose to participate in result in the quality of life that you live. “While time management can improve the quality of work, the management of free time can contribute to the quality of life. To lead a high-quality life and pursue a more leisure-oriented lifestyle, people must use their free time healthily,” (Huan, Kao, Wang, Wu, 562-66) was stated in the study made by four graduate students in Taiwan. The study went on to say that when free time activities are planned and…

each year from health issues related to smoking. When we talk about inactivity we are speaking of people who lack any type of additional movement outside of their regular routine. These are people who choose not to engage in activity during their leisure time and fall into the stigma of being a “couch potato”. These individuals are rooted in their routines, they are victims of endless excuses, a lack of motivation, energy and overall health knowledge, however if asked the majority would…

against the notion of staying home, to take care of a child, is it will take away from retirement funds and I will lose my “me time”. With both parents working the income can be spent for child care, learning, nutrition, health care and spending leisure time with the child…

Thank you for your opportunity to review and comment on the Spirit Mountain EAW. I strongly support the proposed plans because I feel like the community benefits of the plans outweigh the potential environmental risks. A huge part of Duluth is the amount of outdoor recreational activities that one can do here. Spirit mountain is a tremendous recreational area and I believe that by expanding and creating more opportunities for outdoor activity, the community of Duluth will become happier and…

That is because school and work take up a majority of our time and restricts us from discovering new materials of our own personal interest. Leisure time can be hard to come by but has an immense impact of our personalities. What people do in their leisure time strongly defines them so it is crucial to not misuse it. People who are more likely to be less productive, like those who spend hours in front of the television, tend to have a duller mind…

Good time management skills is imperative for owner operators in the trucking industry. Without this one important skill the driver’s business is most definitely going to flounder. As a high school student and early adult I never had set time schedules for anything, and most times I was late for appointments. Those times are now in my rearview mirror and I will never return to that way of life again. My lesson in time management was a swift and tough battle when I started my career as a…

There are many hobbies and activities Nacireman citizens participate in for enjoyment when not working or otherwise occupied by demands of the culture. One of the strangest activities and subcultures observed is based around the use of a self-propelled plank of wood on wheels. Both children and adults participate in the use of these planks they call "skateboards" as a mean of transportation and fun. Beyond the common use of this technology for transportation there are many who use the planks…
