most amazing natural and physical environments in America. Spanning from grassy fields up to the jagged mountains of the Cascades, down to the many islands in the waterways of Puget Sound. I am fortunate enough to call this land home. I have lived here my whole life and have no intention of leaving. For some it's a mountain conversely for some it's a tiny hole-in-the-wall coffee shop, a beach, a road, a bed, a view, a place to call their own, but for all it's a place they can call their favorite…

smile. However, after even more research I found out that there are a lot more opportunities in that field which essentially gave me a safety net if making video games didn’t work me. Unfortunately, by the time I figured what I wanted to do, I had too low of a GPA to get accepted into any colleges I wanted. So after I graduated high school in 2014, I applied to South Puget Sound Community College where I would have my second chance of doing well in school. And I took it. At the time of writing…

Puget Sound War The Puget Sound War was from 1855-1856. This essay explains how an important treaty was broken and how that started the war.

A hidden gem in West Seattle, Alki Beach is constantly bustling with families, college students, and everyone in between. The neighborhood stretches from Me-Kwa-Mooks Park in the southwest to the end of Seacrest Park along Harbor Avenue in the northeast, and runs along the beach. It is a geographically interesting area because the neighborhood is elongated and skinny instead of filling in a compact area. Many mainland Seattlites have distinct views of West Seattle’s demographics. While some…

I believe that the most pressing spiritual and religious need for students at the University of Puget Sound is the ability to understand each other. Many students at our university do not know much about other religions, and many do not even care. In my personal experience as a student, I have discovered that many students who do not identify with a religion look condescendingly upon students who do. Many students believe that organized religion is an oppressing institution with irrational,…

Much of her love for big band came from listening to Django Reinhardt. His impressive guitar playing and upbeat feeling captured her…

The Sound of Life Music: Luxury or Necessity? The world has transformed to adapt to new technologies into a place where humans, the organic beings are plugged into inorganic or mechanical machines at almost any given point in the day. The recent developments of television, cellular devices, and media players makes everyone a techno-wizard in some regard. One of the categories electrical equipment can be categorized into is that of music. Music can be listened to in person at concerts or other…

Noise can cause permanent hearing loss at chronic exposure levels of at least 85 dB or higher for an eight hour period (Peter M. Rabinowitz, Pg.1). The louder the sound, the shorter the time period before NIHL can occur. Sounds of less than 75 decibels, even after long exposure, are unlikely to cause hearing loss (Hearing Health Foundation 2015). Hearing loss that is caused by the noise exposure due to recreational or non-occupational activities is termed socioacusis. Hearing loss due to…
