After a long night of partying, I came home and sat in front of my vanity. I was exhausted, and all I could think of was falling asleep in my fluffy bed.  But I couldn’t. Not yet, my face still had makeup on. “Ughhhh,” will this cycle ever stop? “ I’m exhausted from this. There’s not a day that I don’t do my makeup. “But that’s the only thing I have that brings me confidence, I don’t know what I would do without my makeup because beneath all this is acne and scars” As I held my CVS makeup remover wipe, slowly removing my purple eyeshadow. All I ever wished…

For my autobiography, I didn’t focus on specific events in my life and I didn’t get too personal. I also knew we needed an object included, so I chose an apartment as my object, but also as the center of my story. I chose the apartment because it was one of the few things that remained unchanged while everything else was becoming different. The apartment had no eyes, but it witnessed everything that happened within its walls. I also didn’t really mention many people, or anyone specifically, in my story.

Their presence in a room changes the energy taken place. Stroke a cat’s fur, the ripple of its purr against your palm, and something shifts: breath slows, shoulders drop, the mind quiets. This is not merely out of nowhere . Research in biology, psychology, and anthropology increasingly confirms what countless cat owners, even myself, have long known that cats possess a genuine capacity to heal. But “healing,” in this context, must…

For Comp 2, we had been working on our essays in class. I was absent from prior classes, but did manage to get them done. I honestly enjoyed the autobiography essay, especially due to the fact that we had control on how it was told. In our ethnography class we were given a paper to go a area and observe around us, in which we also inluded our thoughts. I enjoyed the assignment, especially because one never really thinks to stop for a moment and just see what is happening around us. It gave us a time to just sit, observe and think.
