Article Review I Am On The Couch - 1426 Words

~Unapologize~ Clarke sat on the couch in her mother’s house staring blindly at the half finished sketch in front of her. She couldn’t sleep, she couldn’t even think properly, the scene outside her home replaying in her mind over and over on repeat. Lexa had told her she loved her, and then she apologized and ran away.

Maybe she’s just been humoring me with our relationship, maybe she wants to break up with me and is just too nice to break up with me like that†¦ What if she’s already found someone else and is just looking for a way to†¦show more content†¦Somewhere in the back of her mind she wondered who was calling on her at this time of night but her brain was preoccupied with a jumble of thoughts that kept switching from Mufasa to her own father to Lexa and back to Mufasa so fast she couldn’t think straight. And the fact she wasn’t thinking rushed back to her all at once when she pulled the door and came face-to-face with her clearly nervous girlfriend who looked close to panicking just standing there. And I look like a total mess right now. ~Unapologize~ Lexa stood in next to the front door and froze. All of her previous insecurities flooding back into her system as she stood trembling in front of the massive door. Come on Woods†¦ You can do this†¦ You’re just talking to your girlfriend†¦ Who you told not three hours ago that you love her and then fled the scene†¦ Yeah†¦ Piece of cake†¦ Lexa pressed the doorbell and it took every ounce of courage she had stored in her body not to bolt from the steps and back into the safety of her car. She ran what she wanted to say over again in her head, she would apologize for apologizing earlier and tell her that she could ignore what she said and did to whatever degree necessary for their relationship to move forward as it had been previously. However every word she had planned to say fledShow MoreRelatedChildhood Obesity and Its Effect1260 Words   |  6 Pagesstatus (Wang, F. and Veugelers, P. J., 2008).

Essentially, technology has taken the â€Å"hard work† of talking to someone in person, of physically reading a book and of using our minds to do some mental math and replaced it with a device. I have noticed that technology, ironically, disconnects us from living in the present moment. Even though we try our hardest to communicate what we mean over text, there is still a possibility of miscommunication or misinterpretation of what was writtenRead MoreMy Life With My High School Essay1926 Words   |  8 PagesHonestly I love college rather than my high school. My high school can rot in hell for all I care. They always left us loads of homework, six packets plus reading a day, for six classes. As if we did not have a life, and we went home to be couch potatoes. Some of us had a job, others like myself were in a sport or club, so when we got home either it was 10 PM or 11 PM. Monday through Friday we call them all nighters because we wouldn t go to sleep until 3 AM just to get done with half of the homeworkRead MoreHumor in Gestalt Psychotherapy: Two Article Reviews2723 Words   |  11 PagesTWO JOURNAL ARTICLES - CRITIQUE The two journal articles which I critique have in common the construct of humor (spelled in both international journals as humour).

While I do not presume to question the importance Blumer assigns to the role played by Mead in the development of Blumerian symbolic interactionism, I argue that the perspective also owes much to the insights of Georg Simmel. In particular, a Simmelian flavor is evident in how Blumer addresses the core sociological issues of theRead MoreWe Googled You - Hbr Case Stydy5679 Words   |  23 Pageslanguorously down the stairs.
