Personal Narrative: Chugging An Energy Drink

Relationships, specifically romantic relationships, play a very important part in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. Upon reading Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel, one will notice that there appears to be a behavioral pattern present in the relationships between Gatsby and Daisy, Daisy and Tom, and Nick and Jordan. As I explain in this paper, these relationships suffer from a fear of intimacy, a fear of the inevitable mutual emotional pain that occurs when humans grow close to one another. In the interest of clarity, let us first take a closer look at the theory that humans cannot grow close without harming one another, the theory known as the “hedgehog’s dilemma.”

Anxiety happens to everyone, at some point in time. In fact, a little anxiety can actually be good for you. It can help you respond appropriately to danger, and it can motivate you to excel at work and home. (www.mayoclinic.com) However, when anxiety becomes so strong that it affects your daily

When I was younger my brother would take me with him when he went to put gas in his truck and we always went to the old Flying J in south Willard. When he went in to pay for the gas he would let me come in and get a soda and I would always get a Frostie Blue Cream Soda in a glass bottle. It is memorable because I loved riding in my brother’s truck. Looking back at the memory, I am reminded of a much simpler time before the Interstate came through, when the most stressful part of my day was waiting for my brother to come home from work. Marketers can appeal to my generations’ nostalgic feelings by using glass bottles, bringing back older sodas, or by using family relationships. A script for this consumption activity could be as such: An old

It was an old 1960 model Daisy 880 pump-action pellet gun, coming from the decade before my dad was born. It had a matte black barrel and receiver, with a sturdy wooden stock; one of my prized possessions. I absolutely loved it, and still continue that affection to this day. However, that day my specific target was a Barqs Root beer can, set atop an old pile of wood that had once been a pig-pen, probably built around the time my gun was made. With plenty of time to kill, I began shooting.

This last summer I started my first job as a host at Applebee’s. I have experience almost every emotion imaginable. On my first day of working, i experienced anxiety. I hate meeting new people. It is something I always dread. However, my feelings of anxiety lessened each day. Once that emotion passed, all the other one’s came. I felt like I was hit by a train. Some days I get so stressed, (mostly because this boy named Alex, but we will get to that later) and I go hide in the bathroom.

On the way home I thought about asking Soda about my essay. I knew Soda would tell me that “it was perfect and that I was so smart”, Darry would say “it needs more information”. When I walked into the house Soda had a weed and a letter in his hand, I thought to myself “It’s very strange for Soda to smoke.” He only smokes when he needs to calm his nerves. When i looked at his face closer he looked happy but mad. I asked “What’s wrong.” He didn’t reply, so I sat down next to him and the letter was from Sandy! The letter said “ Hello Soda i’ve missed you.” “There is something very important that i should have told you a long time ago.” “ I lied when I found out that I was pregnant I was so happy but, I thought that it would hold you back from being you.” That’s when I decided to move to Florida. “ I made you believe that the baby was someone else’s when it’s actually yours.” Right now your baby girl is five months old.” “ Soda i’m really sorry for any pain I caused but, if you want to see her I will give you the money for you and your brothers to come see her.” “ From Sandy.” Soda quickly crumbled up the paper and ran out the door. Shortly after that Darry was home from school.

For me, that would be a very unfortunate situation. I absolutely love milk, and I drink more than I should. My go to drink is chocolate milk or hot chocolate. I have hot chocolate at least twice a week, and have plain ol’ chocolate milk at least three, if not more. It doesn’t help that I have a collection of Disney mugs that I love to use, and what perfect drink to put in them besides hot chocolate. Milk is of very high need in my life, and my world would be stygian without it. Don’t get me wrong though, I enjoy root beer too. However, I drink root beer abstemiously. I think the only time I ever drink it is when I’m looking for something fizzy to drink, and it’s the only pop in our house. There are also occasions when my mom brings home little

The scorching hot sun blinded my eyes as looked up. I suddenly started to think about that Glucose ad that was on T.V. The ad was always amusing, the sun sucking out the energy of the little boy with a straw as he played cricket outside with his friends, his mother gives him a Glucose drink then he gets all charged up. I wish mother had made me a Glucose drink too, the sun was tiring. It was sports day today, I had always come and watched my brother on sports day. He always won something, sometimes first, sometimes second, sometimes third. This was my first time competing.

"Lonely Hearts" written by Wendy Cope is an enjoyable piece that draws readers in with its simplicity and straightforwardness. The title of the piece, tells the reader exactly what the poem is about while the writer’s thoughts are followed throughout the length of the poem with the writer's unique style. Cope's approach of classified advertisements captures the reader's imagination and understanding that one may be so desperate to find love that he would go to many extremes to find someone special. Through word choice, diction, imagery and irony, she keeps the reader’s attention.

A substance that comes from a variety of plants; and is believed to have medicinal properties. However, it has been found to interact with a number of prescription and herbal drugs. Such interactions can cause severe health problems. There are claims that ginseng boosts athletic performance, strengthens the immune system and improves mood. But the authors say there is little proof of this, and there is no enough ginseng in energy drinks to offer any benefit. The root has also been linked to increased risk of insomnia, headache and hypertension. "Ginseng should be used cautiously, as it can cause undesirable side effects in high doses and may even be dangerous when taken with certain medicines or if the patient is undergoing surgery," according to the American Cancer Society.

An important theme portrayed in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, is Discrimination. To discriminate is to make a judgement against someone, based on Race, Social Class or Gender. This was a very common undertaking in the early and middle 1900's so as this novel is set in the 1930's, the theme of discrimination is often prevalent. Although much of the discrimination was directed towards the people of colour, discrimination against the Social class and wealth of the people of Maycomb was very common, along with acts of prejudice aimed at girls and women. A short example of prejudice and discrimination in To Kill a Mockingbird, is that some people thought Blacks were not very intelligent because of their racial stereotypes. They weren't allowed to do anything but menial tasks (such as chopping wood) and hard labour because they were thought to be too simple-minded.

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are often correlated with personalized medicine. GWAS studies often involve sequencing the entire genome of patients suffering from a specific disease, to look for shared mutations within their genomes (Bush et al., 2012, p.1). These shared mutations are then investigated to assure their direct correlation with the disease, in which this mutation can be used to diagnose future patients by identifying the same mutation in their genome sequence (Bush et al, 2012, p. 3). Occasionally, it is identified that multiple mutations within the genome lead to the same disease (Bush et al., 2012, p.1). In cases where groups of individuals suffer from specific mutations in disease,

Two major things that increase the risk of anxiety in employees are urgent presentations and shorter deadlines. It can even lead to depression if care is not taken. It's pretty obvious that you won't be able to perform as you ought to when under stress and pretty bad.

In the present society, people’s schedules tend to be extremely hectic due to either strenuous work schedules or keeping up with school and families. Due to this, numerous individuals do not obtain the recommended eight hours of sleep. On top of not getting enough sleep, they do not eat the proper foods to nourish their bodies. In return, they have a substantial lack of energy. Usually people who do not take care of themselves tend to eventually get more tired by mid-day and as their day goes on. A simple solution would be to go to bed earlier and eat better foods. However, our society has become very lazy, obese, and have started to take the easy way out over the years. Instead of eating better and trying to get more sleep, people drink

Feelings of anxiety are relatively normal especially when a person is under stress. Stress is also quite a normal occurrence in the workplace: strict regulations, difficult bosses, tough deadlines, continuous overtime, and overloading. It is not surprising that some employees develop anxiety and anxiety disorders. Stress and anxiety may be further exacerbated if the job requires handling of customers in settings like call centers. Ironically, it has been noticed that most employees who suffer from panic and anxiety disorder (PAD) are perfectionists, model employees in the company. Usually, these types of people pay strong attention to details, show extraordinary commitment to their jobs, and manifest a high degree of selflessness. An employee having sudden attacks of anxiety would display the following symptoms: difficulty in breathing, trembling, sweating, rapid heartbeat, nausea, and numbness. A common complaint during an attack is verbalized fear of having an impending heart attack. Sometimes, an employee escapes to a place where he feels safe whenever feelings of panic overwhelm him. The root of the problem is said to be the employee 's feelings of distrust. Therefore, education about the condition and communication in good faith are both needed to resolve the problem. Lack of faith on either side might harm the business relationship. Luckily, PAD can be treated using a variety of methods. An immediate solution to anxiety and panic attacks is the relaxation techniques.
