...amount of responsibility that it takes to maintain a dorm room living on my own, in comparison to the expectations living at home under adult supervision. Back at home as a high school student, my priorities and expectations from my parents were to attend school five days out of the week, manage my time to complete all assignments and to complete all chores that were expected to be done on time. Some of these chores consisted of cleaning my room, taking out the trash, and do my own laundry. When it was time to clean and organize my room, I had a tendency to clean and organize it the way I felt most comfortable. I did not have to worry about arranging all my personal valuables with limited space or share a room with another person and their own valuables. It was easy for me to place objects where and how I wanted and not have to feel stressed out on where I could find certain items when I needed them. My ability to organize my room and remove myself from distractions as a college student is not the same as to living at home. The most challenging, and time consuming problems moving into a dorm room is trying to manage a room that has provided me limited space on what I can work with when moving into a whole new environment. Moving into a dorm room can cause problem such as organization of the room, the cleanliness of the room and dealing with distractions. First, placing and organizing personal items in the dorm room is a common problem college students run into. Students often...

...A Room Of One’s Own It has been eighty-three years since Virginia Woolf spoke at Newnham and Girton on the subject of women and fiction A Room of One’s Own, and though the context seems at times irrelevant to the world in which we live today, we must remember our roots in society. In reading the essay, A Room of One’s Own, we are able to better understand the turmoil and frustration of the female artist of the early twentieth century. Woolf’s writing is meant to be understood by all women, in A Room of One’s own the narrator says, “Call me Mary Beton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael or any other name you please—it is not a matter of importance”(Woolf 5). This quote is an example of Woolf’s attempt to universalize the words in the essay so that they could potentially apply to every woman who read them. I thoroughly enjoyed Ms. Woolf’s use of the English language as an art from, and I believe this style was key to the essay’s success, and one of the reasons A Room of One’s Own is still in print today. Among other reasons we can still understand and find relevance in A Room of Ones Own, is the groundbreaking ideas in the essay. In her own way Virginia Woolf took on the establishment, and tried to give a voice to those who had none. In correspondence between Woolf and her friend G. Lowes Dickinson, she writes that her goal for this essay is to "encourage the young women--they seem to get fearfully depressed." (Woolf xiv) Throughout A Room of One’s Own, a few major ideas really were...

...Throughout time, many thinkers have thought about one question, what is the definition of 'owning'? Some say that it entails owning tangible goods helps to develop moral character. others say that owning things develops our identity. In this case, I believe that both these things are true. Many times, how much you own, defines your character and how you hold yourself. Growing up in a low in come family, we didn't own very much. For a period of time, we lived in my grandparents cabin, until moving into a little apartment in town. This apartment on had two bedrooms, a small bathroom and kitchen, and an unfinished basement. Now, up until this point, my sister and I had shared then same room, but I wanted it to change. So, instead of sharing the...

...(climate) secondary or modifying.” This means that when it comes to convenience versus beliefs or traditions, the latter would almost always be chosen over the former. When it comes to culture, the most primary and influential of these practices are those that are experienced everyday, at our own home. It is the culture practiced within the family, called the family culture. A family’s culture may be almost identical to those of society’s, but a family still make themselves unique from the all the rest by having their own set of values, traditions, practices, and of course means of enjoying life. And because of this, families tend to need their own shelters or homes; somewhere they could keep their culture intact and live life the way they want to. Houses are the visual reflection of the family. A family’s home is something that is directly being used by all the members of the family in it everyday; this means that the house may very well be built or used for the most ideal or convenient way for the family. Taking into consideration negative assumptions and stereotyping, taking a look inside different homes and seeing one that is well-organized and well kept, compared to one that is full of clutter and mess, is far more likely to house a happy family. Furthermore, the spaces, and the spacing of the house also...

...allocating students into different housing facilities. Moreover, we will design our own sample data with focus on first-year students (freshmen and first-year transfer students) and make analysis to attest the success of the UCLA Housing Services in applying an economic algorithm in the housing allocation process. The UCLA housing matching is a 10-13 day process in which the housing system categorizes students into three groups that include returning students, freshmen students and transfer students, and match them with various buildings and rooms based on their declared preferences on their housing applications. The UCLA Housing Services surveys on the assignment preference to identify the three important preference criteria for best housing matching, which are Facility/Room Type, Roommate Requests, and Lifestyle Preferences. Facility/Room Type is the most important criterion for the matching process, which makes it the first step in the housing application. During the application, the student ranks his/her top three choices based on Building Type and Room Type. Building Type is weighted more heavily than Room Type and Roommate Requests and Lifestyle Preferences are only secondary considerations of the application. Each first-year student will be randomized to determine order to get housing offer. The provision of room combinations is determined upon the supply of available rooms and the demand of students. As a result, the housing system matched 5,187 freshmen and...

...disagreements about what time I came into the house at night, me always having company, and me never cleaning up my room. My mother and I weren’t the only ones having this disagreement. I had four cousins who were having the same exact debates with their mothers, who were my aunts. My mother and Aunts all sat down and discussed the matter. They came up the solution of us having our own apartment. When they brought the idea to us five we all agreed that it were a great plan. Us having our own apartment meant that we could do what we wanted when we wanted without our mothers nagging us about every little thing. We knew we were going to have fun, but we also knew we had responsibilities that had to be taken care of. We all agreed to do our part and chip in where we were needed. It was time to prove to our mothers we were old enough and mature enough to be on our own and make the right decisions. Frenchie, Dj, Crap, Jamarcus, and I moved in on July 21, 2010. We were going to be staying in Hill Top Apartments, apartment 312. The apartment had 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, and a living area. Since Dj was the oldest he got a room to himself. Jamarcus and I shared a room and Frenchie and Crap shared the other. We had two cars amongst us, mines and Jamarcus’s. Since we were on our own we tried to save as much money as possible so we always rode together in one car to school, parties, stores, and the mall. All of our mothers had split the rent and utility bill. The only...

...The title of this story is the red room written by H.G. Wells. This short story is belongs to the ghost or horror genre of the story. In typical horror stories, many writers often intentionally add some elements of fiction, such as specific setting, characters or point of view on story to build some senses of tension and suspense. In the red room, the writer also used these kinds of elements to get the attentions of the readers and convey its specific tensions of the events that happened in the red room of Lorraine castle. In the story, the main character who do not believe about existence of the ghost undergoes the horror of night in the red room and finally finds out that the room of lorraine castle is haunted.

...Everyone has their own comfort spot. By this, i simply mean a physical or emotional place where one identifies with his her self, and finds peace. There are infinite possible comfort spots, be it one's own bed, in a certain car, the memory of a past-time, etc. These periods of solace are a true necessity to maintaining an optimistic perspective on life. In times of stress or depressing moods, we rely on our comfort thoughts. It is because of this concept that I decided to examine these "happy places" not just in myself, but those closest to me as well. I have dissected the reasons for particular comfort spots and developed the thesis that it requires time away from these states or areas of solace to truly appreciate them as something they identify themselves most with. Before i began interviewing my family, I first asked my self the same question, pondering what my own comfort spot is. I quickly realized that this particular topic requires a decent bit of contemplating. Upon careful consideration, I decided my own comfort area to be my own room back at home, in Monroe, North Carolina. The secluding privacy of an area completely customized to fit my taste, for myself at least, is the best form of relaxation. During times when I am stressed, or when I just wish to think, or possibly just want to be alone, I have always, up until college, turned to the solitude of my room, giving myself time to calm down, or consider issues important to me. I think one of the reasons I have...

...Offred’s room to illustrate the government’s control over her and her role in the society. She uses the room to allude to her situation almost because she is unable to explicitly state her discontent with her current conditions. Firstly, the author uses many similes, symbols and short sentence structures to emphasise the oppression and the totality of the control that the government has over Offred. She uses different objects in the room to symbolise Offred’s situation. While exploring her room, the narrator notices that “on the white ceiling… [there is] a blank space, plastered over, like the place in a face where the eye has been taken out.” (9) She also finds that “[the window] only opens partly” (9). The author uses the simile which compares the ceiling to a face without eyes, a result of the chandelier having been violently removed, to mirror how Offred is forced to be “blind” to the world. The government forces handmaids to wear wings around their face to prevent them from seeing and being seen. Offred and other handmaids thus cannot communicate and familiarise themselves with the world. They are powerless because they have no knowledge of the world; they cannot defend themselves against an unknown entity. The narrator uses this simile to imply that she is forced into being oblivious to her surroundings. Similarly, the author uses the window in Offred’s room as a symbol for her contact with the world, because the window is the only opening in her room to the outside...
