    use, recycling products, and reducing energy consumption within my dorm are all ways that I have improved my environmental efforts. In continuing with these ideas, I hope to spread recycling and reducing policies in my household and future apartment.

    For example, Vershinin, the new colonel in town especially displays his optimism about the future: he believes that the world will change into an “unimaginably beautiful and wonderful” (Chekhov 11) place, and that those at the present will “work,” “suffer,” and “create” (Chekhov 22) this brighter future.

    Many children experience nightmares. They toss and turn in their beds until a loving parent arrives to comfort them. Often though, the thing that eventually eases the child back into sleep is their own idea that morning and light are near. It is human nature to look toward the future to relieve fear and anxiety; but what if that future seems uncertain? What if the new day coming looks grim, foreboding, not hopeful at all? The 1980s were a time of excess and materialism. Fashion became more…

    It is often hard leaving the past behind as we feel like we are forgetting important events, but when we move forward, we simply let go of the things holding us back.

    (A) Yahweh's achievement in latter days (4:1a) (1) bə’aḥărît hayyāmîm (in the latter days) denote the final period of history and is not an expression for the end of history.
