Waffle House. All this time I thought Leena’s appearance would have gotten her noticed by a modeling rep or make everyone want to hire her. But it didn't. She stated that employers always assumed she was a little rich girl trying to make jokes about getting a job. Little did they know that her decent looking clothes were from a thrift shop and that she lived in a beat down trailer with her mom. Leena mentions that some of the best years of life were spent working at the Waffle House diner. Someone gave
The Albuquerque make-up business was booming. The nail art scene was especially thriving, and the companies manufacturing the resources needed were being boosted to godlike statuses. Two companies, above all, ruled the city with perfectly manicured iron fists. Chic Shine and Glitz were essentially religions for New Mexico based fashion blogs and trendy teenagers alike. Despite the fact that the two brands were stocked together in drug stores, and that Glitz's pink 'Listen to Reason' and Chic Shine's

Harvard Negotiation Project first thought up this method. It can be broken down into four sections: separate the people from the problem, focus on interests, not positions, invent options for mutual gain, and insist on using objective criteria.

The interests are what are crucial because that is what

of their comfort zone just enough to help them grow. The authors’ of “Getting to Yes” put it best when they say, “More and more occasions require negotiation; conflict is a growth industry,” (Fisher & Ury, 1991) this quote really stuck with me and it is true in various ways. Negotiation and difficult conversations happen daily, the only difference between you and everyone else is how you deal with those situations. Both “Getting to Yes” and “Difficult Conversations” have taught me how to be a more
I needed some extra money to spend in Peru. Anyway, so I decided to post a “for sale” sign on my windshield, like many people do when they want to sell their car. One week had passed and I had no luck selling my car. I have to admit that I was getting a little concerned because I was really looking forward to sell this car and get some money for it.

Getting in Shape Spring is coming soon, and the body is looking a little flabby, what can I do to shape up? How can I build lean muscle before spring? Do I need to be an expert at weight training? What if I cannot afford a membership at the gym? Do these questions sound familiar? If they do, I have some very simple solutions to each of these questions. Everyone wants to be able to go to the beach and look good, but these same people do not know how to attain the body to do so. The answers to
skillful tasks, such as cooking and sewing, were done by women. By using the ideas put forth by Judith Lorber in Believing is Seeing: Biology as Ideology, we can analyze the findings of Matthew Petrocelli, Trish Oberwies, and Joseph Petrocelli’s “Getting Huge, Getting Ripped.” Lorber’s ideas of people having unique experiences, gender being one of society’s inventions, and a power differential between men and women can help us understand why men feel the need to use steroids to become the ideal male. People
from “Believing is Seeing” tells us that physiological differences do not determine what a male or female does in his or her life, but it is society that decides for us what we should and shouldn’t do in our lifetimes. Pertrocellli’s article “Getting Huge, Getting Ripped” describes the lifestyle choices of body-builders and what drove them to this choice. Lorber’s argument is that human-created social structures are generalizing males and females

Getting Older With this changing world around us; everyone has different feelings and thoughts about getting older. Some people are afraid to get older while others anticipate it. The select few might even try to delay the process by having surgical procedures done to have their body appear to be younger.

Getting Sober To recognize that they have drinking problems, alcoholics have to be completely miserable and willing to change. When they get to this point, it is called their "bottom." There are "high bottom" and "low bottom" drunks, but it doesn't matter as long as they get sober. There are many different reasons why an alcoholic decides to get sober, but in my own case, I lost my self-esteem, I couldn't control my drinking, and my life became unmanageable. The first thing that made me
Being Rushed If there is one thing I hate, it is being rushed. I like to take my time getting dressed, doing my hair, makeup, or whatever else I have to do to make sure everything is perfect. When I’m being rushed I get so angry because I like to move at my own pace, and nobody else’s. I could understand if we're running late or you’re ready before me, but don’t try to rush me so I can look sloppy. Being rushed makes me feel so uncomfortable. I feel like when I’m being rushed I didn’t do everything
