2. Write an Essay on Your Daily Life  by Darshan Kadu

“Life is too precious to be idled away in lethargic existence and in useless ventures. My daily routine is jam-packed with actions and activities and keeps me and my mind busy all the time. The adventures of daily life make it interesting and an exciting journey.”

On school days, Kadu’s daily routine includes jogging, getting ready for school, and having breakfast with the whole family. After school and attending meetings, he usually plays with friends in the field. Kadu also mentions how he spends his holidays. He believes that even though he has a daily routine, it’s exciting and full of adventure.

“Ancient Egyptian’s daily life revolves around the Nile and the rich soil around it… daily lives of people have changed a lot since then.”

This essay shows how religion helped the Ancient Egyptians run their daily lives. The author discusses changes in festivals and the treatment of gods and royalty. To make an effective comparison, they use three examples: the importance of family, the Nile, and slavery.

The writer mentions that the Nile was essential in Ancient Egypt because it provided food to the people. Modern Egyptians no longer depend on the Nile river and its rich soil. As for working, people used to be enslaved by the rich and were forced to farm. Now, while farming is a work option, slavery doesn’t happen anymore. Early marriage is also forgotten, but the importance of family is still the same for all Egyptians.

4. My Daily Life  by Ken Subedi

“Sometimes I feel that I am really becoming a machine to have a strict time table. But I also believe that if we do everything on time, success will kiss us and we can lead a qualitative life.”

Subedi believes that people spend the day depending on their roles. Because he’s a student, he talks about how a typical school day goes for him, noting how he follows a strict schedule to do his homework, play with friends, and prepare for the next day. 

Subedi mentions how Saturdays and holidays distract his daily routine and shares how he feels like a machine with the readers. However, he also says that he knows it’s necessary to have a successful life. You might also be interested in these essays about New Year .

5. Long Essay on Television In Our Daily Life by Prasanna

“There are channels that beam programs 24 hours a day. Whereas this may be a boon for the people who do not have much to do anyway, it becomes a source of great distraction for children for whom the priority should be their studies.”

Technology like television is essential today but can also be a distraction to many. Prasanna refers to television as the most common form of entertainment that provides information on what’s happening worldwide. However, some shows have mature or violent elements that have adverse effects, especially on children. Additionally, those who spend too much time watching television will miss the thrill and excitement of going out and meeting other people.

2020 advent calendar, dec 25, dave griffith: on eula biss's on having and being had.

Women shouldn’t have to work for nothing...and neither should artists, but I feel the way some women once felt about the Wages for Housework movement--if I were paid wages for the work of making art, then everything I do would be monetized, everything I do would be subject to the logic of this economy. And if art became my job, I’m afraid that would disturb my universe. I would have nothing unaccountable left in my life, nothing worthless, except for my child.

2020 advent calendar, dec 24, alex marzano-lesnevich: the end of the world is also its (queer) future: joseph osmundson’s “fitness: how the climate killed my children”.

 As 2020 finally draws to a close, I’ve been thinking a lot about the future. Or rather, I’ve been thinking about how impossible it is to think about the future, really think about it, hold a space and shape for it in my mind. 

Maybe that’s why Joseph Osmundson’s “ Fitness: How the Climate Killed My Children ” remains the essay that fucked me up the most this year, the one nearest to both my heart and to my fear. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve read it, or how many people I’ve sent it to, yet it still retains a slippery clutch over me. I can’t quite keep its progression in my mind, only the sensation of reading it. For example, I always think of the essay as beginning with the image of Osmundson as a child, a little cisgender boy dreaming himself pregnant—an impossible image, one that holds both a sweet amount of hope and the knowledge of that hope’s failure. 

But it doesn’t. It begins with a violent end, a grandfather’s suicide—a suicide that is Osmundson’s legacy to hold as much as any hope is.

When the pandemic hit and 2020 became its impossible-to-imagine self, I was at a writing residency on a beach in Florida, where every day I would look out at the surf and try to comprehend the changing headlines on the copy of The New York Times the residency director left on a white wicker table with a glass top. The setting utopian, my own little studio, a kitchen that remained sparklingly clean even though we residents never cleaned it, a mug I could fill with hot coffee and carry—sand between my toes—to watch the crashing surf. The Illness Now Has a Name , the headlines said. The W.H.O. Declares Global Health Emergency . Ventilator Shortages Ahead . When the fear was at its apex, a lover drove down from Maine to retrieve me—remember when we didn’t wear masks, when we were suspicious of every surface, when we couldn’t name what exactly the threat was and so the threat was everywhere—and drove us back from Florida to Maine in one stretch, the two of us peeing in the bushes and curling up together in the back of the car by the side of a Georgia road, in the morning chugging back cold black coffee we’d poured into an empty bottle of Absolut found in the residency trash. 

And there was still, I confess, a bit of thrill to our ride, the headlines still unreal. Doesn’t every great apocalypse movie feature a road trip? Doesn’t (and Osmundson’s essay promises this) the end of the world amplify even the sex?

Or at least I think the headlines felt unreal to me. In a way I’ve never prepared for them. I’ve never named an apocalypse team, never joked about the end of the world. I don’t watch zombie movies, or any horror films at all. The idea of an apocalypse has never felt recreational. Unreal, maybe, but not recreational. If you had asked me why then, I would have told you that I didn’t trust its fictionality. That, like any queer person who had to jettison one imagined life and make another, I already knew my world could break open.

That’s the genius of Osmundson’s essay. Reading it, you can’t avoid the breaking open of the world. Its spine is a scale of numbers that count upward as you move forward: parts per volume CO 2 . He’s illustrating the incremental accretion of human damage to the atmosphere, our slow destruction of the conditions of our own survival—and then acceleration, how we will combust and implode. In the body of the essay, he thinks about whether to have children, he thinks about sex, he talks about the love he has for his friends and students, he invokes all the forms of connection that give life meaning and hope.

And the numbers climb, the numbers that will kill.

He doesn’t explain this at first, of course. He just lets you stay distracted by the prose narrative, while the numbers add endlessly up.

So the form enacts the content. Brilliant. My favorite thing essays can do. We live by constantly forgetting we’ll die.

As Jane Alison observes in Meander, Spiral, Explode —a book I have been immersed in these last few days of this meandering, spiraling, exploding year—super-short begin-again paragraphs like this, lines like this, disrupt the gaze again and again, and so disrupt the thought, requiring a swing to the left and start anew at the next section. Reading Alison made me recall T Fleishman’s book-length Time is the Thing a Body Moves Through , my favorite essay of last year, though I’d argue it presaged this year most effectively. (Just look at that title. I don’t know about you, but just about the only thing I’ve moved through this year is time.) Fleischman’s essay is also about queerness, also about becoming, also about sex and destruction and beauty. And in it, too, there are super-short snippets that stop and start, no explanation. Again they begin again. 

Queerness is not yet here. Queerness is an ideality, writes José Esteban Muñoz . We may never touch queerness, but we can feel it as the warm illumination of a horizon imbued with potentiality.

Whatever we are reaching for, we won’t reach. We’ll never make it. 

Re-inventions, textually enacted on the page in the face of certain failure. Could there be anything queerer?

Now the future promised by headlines all year has arrived, a mix of doom and hope. The hospitals are once again filling. Again, warnings of impending ventilator rationing. A friend from South Africa calls to tell me they’re in the middle of a second wave, and then she pauses, because we both know what I don’t say: the American wave never ended. Most of my neighbors, tired, have abandoned wearing masks, and I duck to avoid them in the stairwell as the daily case count in my state sets a new and newly unthinkable record daily, up fourfold from the spring highs, and still it climbs. On a walk with a new friend—so distant, always masked—who works on a Covid unit in the middle of the state, they tell me they are tired of watching people die through glass. And then they stop short, words failing.

In the essay, Osmundson declares that he can’t and won’t have kids. He can’t imagine bringing them into all these promised dooms. And he can’t imagine being required by love not to claim for himself the suicide he opens with. I don’t know if I can make that promise—the promise to keep on living—to anyone .

And the vaccinations have slowly begun, the turning back of one end of the world. I talk with a friend about his desire to become a father, a desire that’s become more urgent during this awful year. Will he foster or adopt? Lately he’s been thinking he’ll get pregnant, he says. His transness allows him to make for himself that impossible image Osmundson offers. Another friend of mine’s kid corrects them when they misgender themselves just trying to move through the world, just trying to fill out all the medical paperwork this year demands. She insists my friend exist. The desire to be named correctly may fail them; the kid demands they do it anyway.

And about five months before the world changed forever or maybe not at all, I started taking testosterone. I had spent nearly a lifetime thinking about it. I wasn’t ready, and then I was. I had spent years poring over the lists of effects that were permanent (voice drop, hair growth) and the ones that weren’t (fat redistribution, libido), but in the end I don’t think the lists made any difference. When I was finally ready, it wasn’t a rational decision. The scales just tipped. The future became the present, the new world the now.

I am, of course, terrified of the future Osmundson heralds, of the future any scientist who understands what’s coming does. I think back a decade ago to grad school, to a climate scientist who told me how trashed she and her colleagues would get at the hotel bars at conferences, after a day of panels promising the end of the world. I didn’t tell her then that we writers knew plenty about hotel bars—that once, legend had it, we’d drunken one of the conference hotels right out of hard liquor. The despair we had felt soft, indulgent, even melodramatic. Hers had felt real, informed by the science.

Hell: Hers felt rational.

I find Osmundson’s despair impossible to argue with. His conclusion, too. 

So I can’t quite tell you why I find this essay so hopeful in the end. He’s made a case for not having hope. He’s laid it out as rationally as the climbing numbers. He’s already told us he’s the only male Osmundson—the implication being that with his choice, the name will die with him.

And maybe the point is that whatever’s coming, we will have to remake it. The way queer people always have. Whatever’s coming will and will not look like the world of now, and we don’t know the ways yet, we can’t. We are still living in the before time, still loving and breathing all over one another, and we just don’t know what’s next.  

What else, then, but to live. To stay and find out and remake. What else but this stop-short start-again rhythm and the awareness that we always were and always are doomed, we mortals, and god we fucked this up, and we’d better try to fix it but also it sure seems like we can’t, and that living under that condition—making art under that condition—is one of the only hopeful acts available. Maybe what I find so moving is that he felt all these things, all this despair, and he thought about it, and he made us this essay.

And in the reading, here we are, all of us, connecting. From six feet apart, as whatever is now ends.

And whatever comes next begins.

2020 advent calendar, dec 23, jenny spinner: the writer in a pandemic: on zadie’s smith’s intimations.

Zadie Smith’s latest collection of personal essays, written in the spring and published this summer, is pandemic art in media res . It is a diary’s middle pages and the note of a shipwrecked survivor still awaiting rescue. It is Wednesday’s home-cooked dinner and the washing machine paused between cycles. It is the second, purple candle in the Advent wreath—not yet the pink relief of Gaudete Sunday’s third flame.

Comprised of six essays written in the “scraps of time the year itself has allowed” (xi), the book is thin, only ninety-seven pages long. It could fit in the back pocket of yoga pants if yoga pants had back pockets. Because it is a slim book, it can be read in its entirety in that space between the children climbing into bed and your own body collapsing into sleep. Smith says the book is “small” by definition of the personal essays it contains, but personal essays are not small and these are certainly not. They are about time and art and work and the U.S.-president-she-will-not-name and suffering and fear and racism and privilege and healthcare disparities.

If you sleep on the heavy topics of Intimations , you may even dream them—but hopefully not the kind of frantic dreams that came in mid-September when you were too sick to move and opening your eyes consumed so much energy that you just kept them shut for three whole days other than to make sure, when you tipped the bottle of hot sauce to your tongue to see if you had lost your taste (you hadn’t), it didn’t spill all over your face. In “Suffering Like Mel Gibson,” Smith writes that “misery is very precisely designed, and different for each person” (29). The despair that comes from waking each morning drenched in the night’s fever sweats does not compare to the misery of declining alone in a hospital room. 

The pandemic’s miseries create contradictory silos of suffering, Smith writes: the relentless togetherness for some; the painful isolation for others. She zeroes in on the challenges of pandemic parenting, from the “single mother with the single child” to the “night-shift worker with three children under the age of six” (31) to the “artists with children—who treasured isolation as the most precious thing they owned—find[ing] out what it is to live without privacy and time” (29). Oh, the guilt, the ropes we throw ourselves to climb out of the pit of self-pity, knowing that someone, somewhere, is suffering more than we are in our lonely, chaotic house, no longer able to escape to work to avoid conflict. “Her face, her face, her face. Your face, your face, your face” (30). Smith distinguishes, though, between the “bubble” of privilege, which must be acknowledged, and that of suffering (32). The former, she argues, can be popped. Suffering, on the other hand, is “impermeable” (32). Suffering, uniquely ours, can kill us. She gives us permission to concede our miseries: “when your sufferings, as puny as they may be in the wider scheme of things, direct themselves absolutely and only to you, as if precisely designed to destroy you and only you . . . it might be worth allowing yourself the admission of the reality of suffering” (36). Notably, she does not say for every misery, we must follow Newton’s third law and name a joy.

Intimations is 2020’s calling card of complexities and contradictions, left on the front hall table at the house of writers, some who are hiding from their children in the bathroom for thirty minutes while they try to write something, anything, this essay. Intimations is an ache. It is the thoughts that we might think if we had time to think them, or if we risked the pain of letting them into our heads. In “Something to Do,” Smith explores the way that time broke down in the early months of the pandemic. She is especially interested in doing time as a writer: “It seems it would follow that writers—so familiar with empty time and with being alone—should manage this situation better than most” (24). But Smith, “[c]onfronted with the problem of life served neat, without distraction or adornment or superstructure” struggles to re-order her present days and face how she managed the past ones (24). With soccer and theatre and cross country and every blooming thing canceled, we schedule game nights and family movie nights and Saturday hikes. We make everything from scratch, down to the vegan andouille sausages with one and a quarter cups of vital wheat gluten that have been in the freezer for six years awaiting the calendar to clear.  Intimations is proof that Smith found a way to be productive in the “playpen” (24)—in part because that is what she knows to do: to write. Why does Smith write? Why does any of us write? We trip over ourselves in explanation, Smith says, but for her, it’s simply “something to do.” Even then, she concludes, “it can’t ever meaningfully fill the time. There is no great difference between novels and banana bread” (26).

And yet, there is a difference in what the process demands. When there are no words in the house, there are always bananas turning brown on the kitchen counter, awaiting a transformation, a next life. Banana bread still manages to rise amid distractions, the tomatoes that need tending in the garden, the face masks sewn from old T-shirts, spelling lists chalked out on the driveway, piano tunes readied for virtual recitals, back skin soothed with rhythmic scratches. In “Peonies,” Smith writes about her early resistance to what she thought of as the “the cage” of her “circumstance,” her gender (4). As a growing child, she hated the idea of being “tied to my ‘nature,’ to my animal body—to the whole simian realm of instinct” (4). She has not entirely grown out of these burdens, not now on the edge of peri-menopause, not in “this strange and overwhelming season of death that collides outside my window, with the emergence of dandelions” (10). After all, when the light is right on both sides of a window, it becomes a mirror. 

In the title essay, “Intimations,” Smith complies a series of “Debts and Lessons” by the twenty-six family and friends, teachers and artists, who have shaped her. These are the people who walk through our last dreams when the end times slow enough for contemplation. There is both a strength and a fragility to Smith’s lessons, the fragility coming in the peeling back that reveals layers of truth. “18. Zulfi: To have one layer of skin less than the others, and therefore to feel it all: the good and the bad, the beautiful and the abject” (92). “19. Virginia Woolf. To replace that missing layer with language. For as long as it works” (92).

2020 is a year of layers, of putting on and taking off in a season that is in between, and Intimations captures both the discomfort and the moments of relief when everything is just right: the light jacket is warm enough, the shorts ward off heat. Relief. When you return to your office from teaching, tear off your mask and sink into your chair with a long gulp of untainted air. When the fever finally breaks. When your children in virtual learning finish their homework and leave you, for the first time in eight hours, in a silent womb where you must decide whether to be born or simply wait things out. When you manage to write it all down.

2020 advent calendar: dec 21, alison hawthorne deming, recognitions: in memory of bill kittredge.

Aristotle talks of “recognitions,” which can be thought of as moments of insight or flashes of understanding in which we see through to coherencies in the world. We are all continually seeking after such experiences. It’s the most commonplace thing human beings do after breathing. We are like detectives, each of us trying to make sense and define what we take to be the right life. It is the primary, most incessant business of our lives.

We figure and find stories, which can be thought of as maps or paradigms in which we see our purposes defined; then the world drifts and our maps don’t work anymore, our paradigms and stories fail, and we have to reinvent our understandings, and our reasons for doing things. Useful stories, I think, are radical in that they help us see freshly. They are like mirrors, in which we see ourselves reflected. That’s what stories are for, to help us see for ourselves as we go about the continual business of reimagining ourselves.

is the Rape of Eden recalled first as an idyll and then as a family curse. Kittredge is the child of people who conquered the land but he hears the voices of its original inhabitants, and he knows what went under the plow because he helped put it there. Out of the pain and glory of growing up in a dying dream, Bill Kittredge has produced a great book.

The personal purpose of historical research. “. . . history driven by an understanding of violence as a commonplace method of solving problems.” Two qualities: story and meditation. How we make ourselves at home in the world. What do we do when we know we have failed? “In a family as unchurched as ours there was only one sacred story, and that was the one we told ourselves every day, the one about work and property and ownership, which is sad. We had lost track of stories like the one which tells us the world is to be cherished as if it exists inside our own skin.”  A coming to account for how one’s thought processes change over time. “. . . all day long we try to tell ourselves stories in which we have the luck to bring about some positive effect in the world.” “I was a long time coming to see that stories were the little motors that ran our actual lives, making babies and, off in the war zones, killing them.”

To forgive anyone who has wounded you, no matter how badly, especially if there is any sign whatsoever that a person has, in wounding you, also wounded themselves. To make no hierarchical distinction between people. To tell any story just as it happened, only exaggerating for humor, but never lying, and never trying to give yourself the flattering role.

2020 advent calendar, dec 20, travis scholl, the frictionless synchronicity: on leavetakings.

“I am simply trying to see something I am too small to see,” writes Corinna Cook early on in her essay collection, Leavetakings . She is writing of a continent she is trying to traverse by the slanted, straightened, curved grids of asphalt roads laid on top of it like a map. She is writing of, among other things, the simultaneously massive and microscopic geology of its rocks.

I read that line on the first day I began reading the book Leavetakings , a rain-soaked day that happened to be the second Saturday in November. It rained all day, the kind of cold-filtered autumn rain that slicks the pavement’s brown leaves into a darker, pulpish slurry. The kind of day when you get up out of bed and say, “This is a good day to stay inside and curl up with a good book.” As if you’re the main character in a Folgers™ commercial watching a Hallmark™ movie in which the main character looks out the window at the cold-filtered rain and curls up with a good book, to read of things we are too small to see.

But I digress. The noun leavetaking first occurs in English (often spliced with a hyphen to signify its compound) sometime in the middle of the 15th century. A century-and-a-half later, Shakespeare will put the word in the mouth of Malcolm, the heir to the throne in Macbeth . Act two, scene three: “And let us not be dainty of leave-taking…”

The noun is coined after its verbal form, to take leave . The verb goes much further back into Old English, inherited from the Germanic in documents dated as old as the 7th century. Even so, the later noun leavetaking has an obsolete Old English precursor, transliterated as yleave-nimming . This primordial noun appears in the Ayenbite of Inwit , clumsily translated from the French by the Benedictine monk Dan Michel of Northgate in 1340. Ayenbite of Inwit is essentially a compendium of moral and religious instruction, a work of “inner wit.” The text will be briefly revived in the 20th century when James Joyce will use the title as a synonym for the conscience in his novel Ulysses .

All that said, the monk uses the word yleave-nimming to refer to the receiving of the Eucharist, that the Christ leaves the body of bread for us to take in remembrance of him.

And here we come full circle. “To break bread with thine enemies. Give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater. Give us this day our daily bread,” writes Corinna Cook in another essay in Leavetakings . She is writing of another kind of communion, another undainty leave-taking, made possible by bread.

Full disclosure: one of the things I wrote above is not entirely true. I first began reading essays that became essays in Leavetakings long before the second Saturday in November, in workshops in which both Corinna and I were PhD students at the University of Missouri, Columbia.

When the cohort of us who entered the nonfiction program together—Corinna Cook, Eric Scott, and me—were done with our comprehensive exams, we started something we called Dissertation Club, Diss Club for short.

The first rule about Diss Club is you don’t talk about Diss Club.

Be that as it may, reading the book she made of some of these things on a rain-soaked second Saturday in November is as good a way as any to begin reading Leavetakings . Because the way Corinna Cook writes is the way you filter the light in rain from clouds, its inner wit. The way a page of a book is like the face of the moon, luminous with borrowed light around the craters that, when you zoom out, are really words, the marks of ink that each in their own way, when you zoom back in, deepen into a little abyss. Or the way that same cloud gathering light at midnight from that same moon deepens the darkness of the sky.

Which is to say: essays are dreams. This is what I learned from Corinna Cook, who may be too small to see what her writing is trying to see, but this state of mind we call Missouri always seemed too small for her. Its boundaries were drawn from too much compromise, and the glaciers are too long gone from its dainty layers of limestone. In the few years we sat together in a classroom, she never said out loud the four syllables “essays are dreams,” at least not that I recall, but that was what it was like to read her work.

Likewise, the state of mind that produces an essay—that writes one, that reads one—is a dream state.

“I dreamed recently of a man made of ice,” she writes now, in an essay I had not read before this second Saturday in November, in something she made into a dream made of dreams.

An essay is a dream made of dreams. Now that I begin to think about it, I think I feel the same way about most of John Ashbery’s poems. Or Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm . We know so little about the science of dreams, and what we do know seems so meager. Sure, the way the neurons fire inside the tissues of the brain or the rapid eye movements are interesting, but I’m more interested in the strange alchemy that stirs memory, knowledge, the residues of what we perceive with our senses, and whatever it is we mean by what we call the imagination into this living, breathing surrealism of sleep. Sigmund Freud wrote a whole book about interpreting them, but when you read it now, you can tell most of it is trash.

The science is meager. But we have been making art of dreams ever since we started finger-painting animals on cave walls or sharpening reeds to dip in ink to script an alphabet.

Maybe another way of saying it is that what we make takes leave of our dreams, like bread.

When I was young, I talked in my sleep in correspondence to my dreams Often in gibberish. Sometimes so loud it would wake my parents. Now, our firstborn son talks in his sleep, and because I sleep light, I almost always wake to it. And if he goes to bed too late, he will sometimes walk in his sleep, down the stairs to the kitchen or the living room. His eyes open, but sleeping. We’ve learned not to say anything, to quietly guide him back to his bed. When he wakes, he never remembers himself walking. It is a mystery.

Which is also to say, dreams are mysteries. And what we make of dreams is a mystery. And if a dream is a mystery, and if what we make of dreams is a mystery, then an essay is a mystery. Simple logic.

Corinna Cook is from Alaska and writes of Alaska. But the way she writes of it makes it both a state and a dream state, both the glacier and the pebble its scrapes against. This is how words take leave of mysteries.

Of the dream of a man made of ice, Corinna Cook writes: “His presence was somehow free of context, our backstory gone in one clean rinse. I felt only the frictionless synchronicity with which we orbited a shared center of gravity, tracing and retracing one another’s arcs in perfect revolutions. Physics, math, balance. Call it love.”

See what I mean?

2020 advent calendar, dec 19, brooke champagne: reading beth ann fennelly’s heating and cooling as yoga for the writer’s mind.

Setting Intentions (Ujjayi)

This year’s global pandemic gifted me early on with two aspects of myself long recessed: running and poetry.  I began pounding the Tuscaloosa pavement again because my gym closed in the spring, and when it reopened this summer, breathing around other sweaty humans remained ill-advised. I began reading poetry again because I couldn’t focus on any group of words longer than a couple of pages.  Reading the standard-length essay, like the one you’re reading now, became impossible. I needed some truth mainlined quickly and beautifully, the way only poetry obliges.

I’d curtailed running years ago because of a knee injury, and stopped reading poetry because of a more imperceptible injury to my writer’s soul. I couldn’t hack it as a poet. As an essayist, the work was still brutal, but doable, with its ample space to fuck things up—fucking up in essays, in fact, is laudable—and I read less and less poetry because I didn’t want a reminder of my writerly shortcomings. The idea that I could do both well never occurred to me.

Which, given the history of overlap between essays and poetry, is insane. And as a reminder, lately the poet/essayists are popping up everywhere, like so many…like so many Gizmos fed after midnight.  Rather than resenting them for writing two genres beautifully, I’m reading them. In a summer comprised of extra-long runs and extra-short readings, I waded into Beth Ann Fennelly’s Heating and Cooling:  52 Micro-Memoirs , which immediately revealed what years of self-pity obfuscated.  An essayist is a poet is an essayist. Of course essays can be as brief and mainlineable as poems.  And anyway, Fennelly isn’t constrained by genre.  Heating and Cooling is a collection of poetic essays forming compressed portraits of her life, dark desires and warm wisdoms and petty jealousies.  All feelings and forms welcome.

And hey, she writes about running! In the midst of reading the book, feeling all woo-woo, we’re-all-leaves-of-grass about my writerly self, my body broke down. First I strained a calf muscle, then re-injured my knee.  (Fennelly gets to be a poet and an essayist and a runner, which I highlight here with zero bitterness). As an imperfect running substitute, I began yoga through Zoom, two modern practices that seem mutually exclusive. Nevertheless, week after week, as I listened to instructors marry poetic Sanskrit with prosaic American pose translations to teach the body how to move mindfully, I persisted.

In the midst of a yoga pose, it doesn’t like I’m doing anything, until I’m nearly finished doing it. For instance, the idea that not setting a clear intention can be intention itself—we shall simply see what this next fifty minutes holds. Once I’m in position for enough time to recognize all the work that’s behind me, the pose is over.  It’s time to move onto the next one.  

Mountain Pose (Tadasana)

Arms rest at the sides, palms facing out. Really this pose requires just standing there, a simple enough position that can also, depending on context, make a body feel buck naked. Writing in the first person does the same; it’s at once natural and terrifying. It’s a reckoning with the self:  this is who I am and what I have to give.  Ommmm.  I am an asshole who does yoga for exercise, not for the benefits of clarity or oneness.  Let’s dive into the sweaty parts.  I am a person who would rather be running.

From the outset of Heating and Cooling , Fennelly comfortably lays herself bare.  In “I Come from a Long Line of Modest Achievers,” she writes, “I’m fond of recalling how my mother is fond of recalling how my great-grandfather was the very first person to walk across the Brooklyn Bridge on the second day.” This early essay, presented fully here, is one of the micro-est of her memoirs, and as in so many others, we settle into the playful conversation between the title and the text. This one-sentence legacy of semi-greatness is a precursor to bigger stories, but the wry wit persists. She stands easily in the essayist’s Mountain.  

Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana)

Here I forward-fold and walk my hands outward to make myself an upside-down V, or if I’m feeling poetic, make myself the Charles, the Ponte Vecchio. This pose serves as a refrain for the yoga class, returned to intermittently between other poses, since it’s supposedly among the most effortless. A few weeks ago my son toddled into my Zoom yoga class during Downward Dog, and in his imitative fashion, Downward-Dogged underneath me, creating a double-human-bridge. Having lived so much inside Heating and Cooling lately, I thought of how this image would look through time. For now, I was the bigger bridge protecting him, showing him how it’s done, and soon, before I know it, the metaphorical human bridge he builds underneath will support the psychic and literal weight of tired old me.  

Fennelly’s series of five “Married Love” missives act as the book’s Downward Dogs, interspersed at nearly equal intervals, and show the endearments of a marriage across time. That includes the tenderness of turning on each other’s seat warmers in a cold car, and tenderness of another kind: how best to cool testicles after a vasectomy. As a novice yogi, one of my skepticisms with the practice is its dedication toward centeredness. For me this translates to earnestness, a quality I despise most especially when I find it in myself. Like Fennelly, I want to be able to laugh at all our bodies can do with and for one another, and all we can’t. Even with our heads upside down, ass in air, which is obviously the best time for laughter.  

Pigeon Pose (Kapotasana)

This hip-opening pose begs the question, was the human body meant to bend this way? Will I ever be able to de-pretzel my lower leg, currently tucked between my chest and chin, forward-folding over my knee into agony? When my creative writing students struggle with the essay, it’s often because they haven’t yet found the appropriate container, or form, for their content. If the stretch is supposed to center in their hips, their knees are aflame instead. Something is off, and though an instructor can guide them, only the practitioner can figure out how to right themselves.  

Heating and Cooling itself is a lovely container of fifty-two micro-moments from a life well-lived.  That precise number conjures the neat equivalent of weeks in a year, though Fennelly’s container is larger than that. The collection spans a lifetime and suggests an ongoingness of experience, as in “I Was Not Going to Be Your Typical.” It’s the most overtly poem-y piece in the book, written in fragments about the divergence between early “drunk years” of the narrator mother and her daughter, and the now time: the daughter, now a teenager, prefers not to reminisce about her mother feeding her with hands and breasts. Yet the mother insists, despite maybe even her own wishes, upon memorializing their drunk-love first years together, back when, as the mother says, “you’d scrunch smell / toward my milk / blind and earnest / as a worm.” In Pigeon Pose, when opening up the space through which women deliver life, it hurts both when you get the position wrong and when you get it right.  

Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II)

If ever I’m feeling like an overcooked noodle, physically or emotionally, this pose shifts the paradigm to man, fuck nah . Front leg’s bent knee lunges forward, arms poker-straight, reaching in opposite directions, back leg’s straight and strong with toes pointing at a 45-degree angle. Stretching the upper body toward opposite walls with legs rooted to the floor, well, I don’t want to stay here forever, but I’m so goddamn strong I could, if I wanted to.   

While it’s true that as an American woman it is both my legacy and duty to hate my body, this is less the case since I had children. I’ve seen my body in so many permutations, my awe for it has stuck.  During the birth of my daughter, for which I drew up no plan other than “survive,” the nurse asked me as we reached labor’s pushing stage whether or not I wanted a full-length mirror at the foot of my hospital bed to track my progress.  Yesgivemeamirror , I breathed, and for the next two hours watched my vagina grow first into the size of a basketball, then morph into the Taj Mahal. Epidural-high, I narrated these metaphors excitedly to my husband and nurse. Maybe the confusion of pain crouching beneath drugs was so disconcerting I had to fill it with addled poetry.

Which brings me to Fennelly’s actual poetry in “What I Think About When Someone Uses ‘Pussy’ as a Synonym for ‘Weak.’” The context for the title is her narration of the birth of one of her children:  “I’d climbed as far inside me as I could.  Everything else had fallen away.  Midwife, husband, bedroom, world: quaint concepts. My eyes were clamshells.  My ears were clapped shut by the palms of the dead…I was the fox caught in the trap, and I was the trap.” The essay is one of the briefest and most stunning accounts of what a woman and her vagina make and become during childbirth.  As she quips at the end, “I did this without the aid of my hands.” The essay’s title reminds me why I rarely use the word “pussy” in any context.  I prefer “cunt.” It conjures many attributes, but never weakness.  “Cunt” is tree-trunk strong, a word that cuts.

Boat Pose (Paripurna Navasana)   

Anyone who can hold this posture for more than ten seconds without shaking has a tree-trunk core.  Here I begin in a seated position and make my upper and lower body into a V, balancing straight legs at a 45-degree angle. The Boat hurts every time, but like repeat childbirth, or childhood trauma, I forget the precise exquisiteness of the pain until I’m inside the moment again.  

If the memoir were a Boat Pose, one half of the body, let’s say waist-up, is scene, and the half below the waist is reflection. This doesn’t require an even split, as some of us have longer torsos, others longer legs, but it’s all about your unique body’s (memoir’s) way of balancing the two.  Throughout Heating and Cooling , Fennelly is a magician of this balance, but perhaps most of all in “I Survived the Blizzard of ’79.” It’s the story of her father endangering both her and her sister’s lives as they trekked for miles, scarfless, to attend an inevitably-closed church during a not-necessarily-survivable Illinois blizzard. The descriptions of the three trudging through the snow is a powerful enough story to necessitate its telling, but it’s the reflection at the end—that for years, Fennelly believed this was a happy memory—and the metaphor of how she’s unwound that scarf of trauma over the years, in how she’s cared for the lives of her children and for herself, that leaves the reader breathless.  

Chair Pose (Utkatasana)

This pose lights glutes afire as I pretend to lower myself down into an invisible chair and…hold.  Right there. But it’s not the burning quads that are discomfiting; there’s no difficulty in getting into the pose. The terrible part of Chair is feeling, what do I look like right now, in this awkward-as-hell position?  There’s a Southern lady’s maxim, or maybe it was just my Italian grandmother who believed herself (and this is the power of America) to be White and Southern, that dictates a woman must always leave her house in clean underwear in case she gets into a car accident, lest she be embarrassed in front of the paramedics. Since the height of tragedy would be to have skidmarked or spotted underwear, even while bleeding profusely from the head.  

I’ve never shared her fear, though one of the only reasons I’m scared of dying is all of the unfinished, terrible writing on my computer. Might so many shitty drafts, in the end, become the totality of me?  It’s a fear just as irrational as the Southern lady’s, toward whom I feel superior.  I too worry about how I’ll be perceived, particularly when I’m in an uncomfortable position. Which is where Fennelly finds herself in “Sweet Nothing.” In this essay she wonders whether or not her father deserves a death bed “I love you.” She says the words, but rather than saying them for him, she says it aloud for the sake of her future self, who warrants no regrets. She hovers over an uncomfortable truth about herself, and holds it, holds it…right there.

Dancer’s Pose (Natarajasana)

Balance on one leg, slowly lift the other leg behind you while leaning forward at the hip with the balance-side arm extended forward. It’s usually one of the later balance poses, since it’s a tough one.  In Dancer’s Pose, I always imagine handing something over to an invisible someone, because if I give my arm a purpose, I might stop thinking to myself, don’tfalldon’tfalldon’tfall . In “Orange-Shaped Hole,” Fennelly hands readers the memory of a woman she met decades ago at a party of London intellectuals who, for no discernable reason, threw an orange through a closed window, creating a mess that someone later, unromantically, must have had to clean up. Fennelly asks of herself now, “Why, at nineteen, did that strike me as the height of glamour? And why—this is even harder to parse—why, remembering it now, does it still?” The genius of this essay is that when she’s considering the tenor of the memory, how and why we remember what we do, she proffers the orange as a gift, questioning how or if we’ll even remember it.

While prepping for Dancer a few weeks ago, my instructor said the pose’s name in Sanskrit: Natarajansana. Repeating it in my head, it sounded vaguely like a combination of the words for orange and apple in Spanish: naranja y manzana. These words conjured memories of how as a mixed-race child, I was sometimes embarrassed to learn Spanish alongside English. My White grandmother constantly warned that learning two languages would make me stupid (so much for the Silent Generation); my Ecuadorian grandmother told me my White one could come miedra . I don’t remember when I learned about cognitive dissonance, or if I’m constantly relearning it, even as I write this essay. Like the idea that being two things at once is actually okay.  A steadfast non-dancer can do Dancer’s Pose. It’s acceptable to be a runner who can’t run, a writer who can’t write poetry. With her essay, Fennelly gifted me a memory within a memory of an orange, which bled into a naranja , and now, holding this pose, I’m gifting both of them to you.  Aqui esta tu naranja .

Corpse Pose (Savasana) 

When yoga instructors claim this is the most difficult part of the class, they are lying. Corpse is just a low-key mini-coda allowing a mother like me for once in her damn day to lie on her back and do nothing. We’re encouraged to think about all the work we’ve done through class…or not. Empty the mind, open the chakras, instructors prompt, or maybe it’s an inversion of those verbs. I don’t know. For those last ten minutes, I sleep.

The last piece from Heating and Cooling , “Addendum to ‘Salvage,’” references an earlier essay in which Fennelly’s father-in-law, an octogenarian and salt-of-the-earth mechanic for sixty years (and to whom, along with her husband, her book is dedicated), laments missing several of his teeth, but balks at replacing them. Teeth are a great expense, and he isn’t sure how much more use he’ll get out of them. Still, he says, “All’s I need’s enough to chew a steak.” In “Addendum,” Fennelly acknowledges that with the earnings from a considerable literary contest prize, she bought her father-in-law one tooth. Though there’s much generosity in this moment, there’s little art to it. And that is the point. This final piece illustrates the stunningly simple truth that all the tough and lovely work of getting here can earn tooth money. It’s not a moment to sleep through, but it doesn’t require overthinking, either. Good words win teeth. That’s both a warm thought, and a cool one.  

The translation of the phrase ending every yoga class is nearly universal:  the light within me recognizes the light within you .  We conclude in a bow, from me to you. This is also what the best essayists do. They show us who they are in such crystalline pieces that we paradoxically feel seen just by doing the seeing. The call to look at another’s life asks that we look more deeply into our own. This is the gift that, in short order, Fennelly and other poet/essayists grant us.  

Heating and Cooling contemplates why and how we remember what we remember, and how the art of remembrance, in all its flaws and joys, shows us how to live in the now. Reading this collection does for the mind what the best yoga classes can do for the body. The light it shines in me is the idea that I started this essay saying, and really believing, that I quit poetry because I couldn’t hack it. This is only partly true. It’s also true that once I discovered the miracle of the essay, I fell in love with all it could be, and what it could make of me.

I certainly bow to Fennelly. But doing yoga during this pandemic has forced me to say Namaste to myself. I can run again when I’m ready, maybe even someday return to the poem, but for now, in front of the mirror before which I perform my flawed poses, I end each yogic attempt, or essay, by bowing to me, too.

Research and Its Importance for Daily Life Essay

Introduction, impact of research, qualities of effective research, role of beliefs and values.

Research plays an important role in science. This is normally done to obtain detailed knowledge about certain aspects before an invention. Scientific research involves the study of diseases and other parameters to invent medicine and vaccines. Therefore, without research, there will be no inventions and therefore a big blow to health. Essentially research fulfils purposes that are designed before the exercise. However, apart from that, research has other implications on reality and daily lives. As a result, the effects of research go beyond the purpose it is meant for. This paper aims to take an analytical look at the concept of research. The paper will begin with a detailed look at the concept of research. Thereafter, the several similarities between different aspects of research will be analyzed. The impact of research on our daily life will also be reviewed.

Research has a lot of impact on the daily functioning of life. First and foremost, research leads to a better life by producing results that can be used to make life better. Especially as far as scientific research is concerned, the invention of vaccines and medicines makes diseases to be less of a threat to society (Calderon & Slavin 2001). Therefore, through the process of research, various methods of handling life’s problems and making the world a better place to live in are facilitated. Secondly, the very process of research affects society in several ways. The impact of the process of research has two dimensions.

The first part is the negative part in which the process of research has certain consequences for society. Unethical practices harm society. Since research is done on people in society, the practices adopted by the researchers have a lot of impacts. Scientific research has left some people with serious illnesses and injuries sometimes; it is like experimenting with people’s life. However, the process of research also has positive effects on society (McGill 1981). This is mainly because of employment opportunities, awareness and education. Research offers vast opportunities to the members of society to learn and obtain understanding about certain issues. At the same time, the participants of the research are remunerated making them earn a living from the same.

Several factors denote effective and valid research. To conduct valid or effective research, therefore, several considerations must be in place. First is the aspect of ethics, for research to be valid it must be conducted ethically. This involves the practices adopted for the research (Cresswell 2003). If the research involves risks, this must be communicated to the participants in advance. At the same time plans must be in place to compensate all those that will be affected in the course of the research. The disbursing of information is necessary before the research. This is important to take care of deception which is rampant in research. In general, proper preparation and education of the participants is the key to successful research. Another crucial requirement is the availability of resources for research.

Several forms of research involve a different processes. As a result, not all forms of research involve vigour. For instance, scientific research on diseases is more demanding than research on recreational issues. This is due to the context of the studies and the parameters involved. For instance, scientific research involves several processes and procedures which tend to take more resources. Recreational issues, on the other hand, are less involved due to the nature of the subject. The research can therefore be conducted with much ease.

Beliefs and values have a lot of impact on the process of research. People’s beliefs, therefore, influence the outcome and process of research. This is due to the relevance that beliefs and values have on people’s perception and philosophy of life. For instance, certain topics are considered sacred and secret in certain societies (Bryant 2005). Their beliefs don’t allow them to discuss certain things. Therefore in the process of collecting information from such people, it becomes very difficult to deal with them. People’s values also play a huge role. Some people are flexible in certain areas than others. Therefore, when conducting research one must understand the values of all participants. This is because their values determine how they approach certain issues. Religion plays a great role in determining the beliefs and values of people.

Research is part and parcel of life, in fact without research life will not be as it is. To live better life research is necessary; this is because research leads to innovation and invention. As far as science is concerned research leads to the invention of vaccines and drugs. Other areas of research also lead to a better understanding of the concepts involved. However, it is not only the results of research that benefit society but also the process of research. Some several opportunities and benefits that come with the process of research. As a result, the role of research in society goes beyond its real purpose. For research to be effective and valid several factors must be considered. Chief among them is the aspect of ethics. Different forms of research involve different forms of approaches. As a result, certain forms of research are more demanding than others. The influence of values and beliefs is notable as far as research is concerned. The paper has discussed the concept of research in detail. The process and impact of research have also been discussed.

The importance of a daily routine.

250 Words Essay on Daily Routine

Introduction.

The concept of a daily routine is often associated with monotony and rigidity, but it’s an indispensable tool for achieving success. It’s a blueprint for our day, providing structure and a framework for productivity, wellness, and personal growth.

A well-crafted daily routine can be a powerful tool. It provides a sense of control over our lives, reducing anxiety and stress. It fosters discipline, a vital trait for college students juggling academic, personal, and social responsibilities. Moreover, routines promote healthy habits, such as regular exercise and balanced diet, enhancing overall wellbeing.

Creating an Effective Daily Routine

Developing an effective routine requires careful introspection and planning. It should reflect our goals, priorities, and personal rhythms. For instance, if you are a morning person, schedule intellectually demanding tasks early in the day. Balance is also crucial to prevent burnout. Include leisure activities and relaxation periods to recharge.

Adapting the Routine

A routine is not a binding contract but a flexible guide. Life is unpredictable, and our routine should adapt to changes. Regularly review and revise your routine based on your evolving needs and circumstances. This flexibility prevents the routine from becoming a source of stress itself.

In conclusion, a daily routine is a potent tool for college students. It fosters discipline, promotes healthy habits, and provides a sense of control. However, flexibility is key. By regularly reviewing and adapting our routine, we can ensure it continues to serve our evolving needs and goals.

500 Words Essay on Daily Routine

A daily routine is an integral part of our lives. It’s a structured sequence of activities that we follow from the moment we wake up until we go to bed. It’s not just about getting through the day, but about making the most of it. A well-structured routine can help us manage our time effectively, reduce stress, and increase productivity.

A daily routine is not just about ticking off tasks from a to-do list. It’s about creating a framework that allows us to prioritize our actions, manage our time, and achieve our goals. A daily routine can help us maintain balance in our lives, ensuring that we allocate time for work, leisure, and self-care. It can also help us establish healthy habits and break away from negative ones.

The Anatomy of a Good Daily Routine

A good daily routine is not one-size-fits-all. It varies from person to person, depending on individual needs, goals, and lifestyles. However, there are some key elements that should be part of every effective routine.

Firstly, a good routine should start with a morning ritual. This could involve exercise, meditation, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee. Starting the day with a ritual sets the tone for the rest of the day and helps us approach it with a positive mindset.

Secondly, the routine should include time for focused work. This could be studying, working on a project, or any other task that requires concentration. It’s important to allocate specific time slots for these tasks to avoid distractions and maximize productivity.

Thirdly, the routine should include breaks. Breaks are crucial for maintaining focus and avoiding burnout. They provide an opportunity to relax, recharge, and refocus.

Finally, a good routine should end with a wind-down ritual. This could involve reading, listening to music, or any other activity that helps us relax and prepare for a good night’s sleep.

While it’s important to have a routine, it’s equally important to be flexible. Life is unpredictable, and sometimes we may need to adjust our routine to accommodate unexpected events or changes in our circumstances. It’s essential to remember that the purpose of a routine is to serve us, not to restrict us. If a routine is causing stress or dissatisfaction, it may be time to reassess and make changes.

A daily routine is a powerful tool that can help us navigate our day-to-day lives with ease and efficiency. It’s not about adhering to a rigid schedule, but about creating a flexible structure that allows us to make the most of our time and energy. By crafting a routine that aligns with our needs and goals, we can create a life that is productive, balanced, and fulfilling.

That’s it! I hope the essay helped you.

The Self essay

Firestone library at sunset.

José pablo fernández garcía / the daily princetonian.

To digest life in this world is such a messy undertaking that I find great satisfaction when everything seems to converge in a point of understanding — a point in which it all, for a moment oh so brief, assumes some unifying clarity. Oftentimes, this arrives a couple weeks into the semester, in the form of my courses melding into one overlapping set of questions and ideas — no longer discrete sets of readings, discussion posts, and final essays. This semester, I have felt everything barreling toward a most essential question of the self. Montaigne and Camus, Impressionist artworks and other European landmarks, they’ve all been racing to make sense of the self, the individual — or at least that’s how they’ve entered my mind.

All this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise; I’ve spent many months and notebooks scribbling out some essays — some attempts at making sense of my own self. And yet, sometimes, I sit before the blank page of my latest notebook and ask myself what I’m even accomplishing. The self is so tantalizing, without any egoism, yet I couldn’t say why that is. Maybe, perhaps, it’s a false notion that in a world so troubling or confusing, so difficult to penetrate and clarify, it might just be easier to first simply begin with one’s own self.

How wrong I have been about this. It has in no way been any easier. Every essay has been left so incomplete — so much left out and so much left unanswered. And yet, they’re all finished. I’ve placed the last period. I’ve sent them to my editors. I’ve read them online and in print. They’ve taken me as far as they can, as far as I’ve been able to write them. I’ve learned that as much as I write, as much as I try, any text, any understanding of my world and my self, remains incomplete.

And I try. I try and try and try. And when all has been exhausted, I try again. What more is there to do? At the very least, I can look back. I look back at all my previous attempts, at everything I’ve written so far. I find an act of creation — a rebirth for myself. Montaigne wrote himself, and Camus wrote the first man. Both were tackling these acts of creation — of trying to see the world and themselves; trying to see themselves in their world; trying to see the world in themselves — with a hope that others would see them in return and might care for them. At least that’s what I’ve seen embedded in the material of their creations. Perhaps, it is what I hope others see in the creations of my own.

But as I’ve written before , sight is so precarious, full of a destabilizing range of possibilities, as it tries to help us bridge the distance between each other and to the world. I can’t help but think back to some discussions on Manet and the Impressionists that were haunted by some of the writers of their day — all writing in fear of our selves enduring the world “side by side, but alone,” unable to see each other across that distance, unable to see past any isolation. And yet, they insisted on their sights. They insisted on seeing, piercing through the world like an arrow whistling from the bend of a bow. They insisted on seeing and then giving us their sights to behold.

Perhaps, I’ve tried to do much the same: to see myself, to see others, to see our world, and then to join us all together, overcoming any isolation. Maybe, that is the Self essay.

It seems a total act of chance that I ever began writing. I don’t know what keeps me returning to it. Yes, sometimes there are particular stories I want to share, particular emotions I want to unravel. But beneath all that lies some still unidentified, intangible motivation, I think. At least, that was the case until quite recently.

In a recent conversation, I finally shared what I had been mulling over in my mind for a long time: So much of my life has been spent with my self split, distinct parts isolated internally from each other. To access and center one part often came at the cost of alienating another — sometimes for so long that it would become an exile of my own self.

But now, finally, in these essays I’ve found the binding together of my self. These disparate parts have been gathered and collected like a bundle of sticks — still precarious but at least momentarily unified.

For a moment, so brief but still extant, all these parts are converging. They’re barreling towards one another, only accelerating, and for once they might just crash into one another in a moment of total, unrelenting, blinding clarity. A moment when I will see, at last, myself.

Essay on My Daily Routine in 200 Words

Everyone should follow a daily routine . As a student, I follow a very simple and easy routine for myself. I have made this routine with the help of my brother and one of my teachers. My day starts very early in the morning. 

I get up at 5 o’clock and go for a morning walk . I am very aware of my health. I try my best to keep myself fit and fine. After the morning walk, I bath with cold water and then take a rest for 10 minutes. 

After the rest, I eat my breakfast. And then I go to my reading room . I love to read science and English in the morning time. It’s the best time to concentrate on study. Then I prepare myself for school.

My Daily Routine Essay in 400 Words

Introduction:

If you want to get the best result from your work, then you need to manage time properly. And time management becomes so easy when you are following a daily routine. As a student, I follow a very strict but simple routine and it helps me a lot to improve my study and other things. Today I will share everything about my routine. 

My Daily Routine:

My day starts very early in the morning. I wake up at 4 o’clock. I used to wake up very late, but when I heard about the health benefits of early rising , I started to get up early. Then I brush my teeth and go for a small morning walk . 

I enjoy the walk very much because it helps to feel good in the early morning. Sometimes I do some basic exercises too. Then I take a shower and eat my breakfast. Then I prepare my school tasks. I love to study math and science in the morning time. 

Because I can give better concentration on that period. I get ready for my school at 9 o’clock and my mom drops me there at 9.30 o’clock. I spend most of the time on my day at the school. I eat my lunch there in the school break time. 

I come back from the school at 3.30 PM and then I take a rest for 30 minutes. I love to play cricket in the afternoon. But every day I can’t play. 

My Evening and Night Routine:

When I get back home after the playing in the field, I feel very tired. And then I wash and take rest for 30 minutes. I eat some juice or something else that my mom prepares for me. I start to study at 6.30 PM in the evening. 

Most of the day, I keep reading till 9.30. That’s the most important part for my study. I prepare all my homework and do some extra studies too. And then I eat my dinner and watch Television before sleep. 

Conclusion: 

That’s all about my daily routine. I try to follow this routine always. But sometimes I need to bring some changes in the routine. And when I spend holiday and off day from school, I can’t follow this routine at all. I think this routine is helping me to use my time in the best work and complete my study tasks properly. 

Essay on My Daily Routine in 500 Words

To become successful, everybody should follow a strict schedule or routine. Especially in student life, we need to maintain our time properly. If we fail to maintain time then we can’t make a good result in the examination. 

Today I am going to share my daily routine and my experience here. I am a very regular guy who follows a routine. I made that routine almost six months ago with the help of my elder brother. 

I make some small edits and changes in the routine due to my own preference. 

I consider the morning is the most important part of the day. In the morning, you will find lots of peace and a calm environment. My class teacher suggested me to get up early morning. I followed here that suggestion very seriously and that made my day. 

Now I always get up at 5 o’clock in the morning. First of all, I go to the washroom and brush my teeth. I wash my face and wipe the water with a towel. Then I go for a small morning walk. I know the morning walk is very important for good health. 

Sometimes, I do exercise too. Most of the time I walk almost 30 minutes and the doctor said that’s enough for me. This little workout keeps me strong for the rest of the day. I come back to home after the walk and get fresh again. 

I eat my breakfast then. After eating breakfast, I study Math and Science in the morning time. I think morning is the best time to study. 

School Time: 

I go to school at 9.30 o’clock in the morning. My father drops me here with his car. I get a break at 1 o’clock after four classes in a row. And finally, I go home at 4 PM with my mom . 

She comes to pick me up from school every day. Because it takes almost 20 minutes to go home from school by car. I enjoy school time very much.

Eat and Sleep Routine: 

I eat my breakfast and then I eat my lunch in the school break time. I take my lunch with me. My mother is very aware of my food. She always cooks something interesting to me. I love eating Pizza and Burger, but she doesn’t buy me that kind of fast food. 

She prefers to cook them for me. I love her cooked Pizza very much. And finally, after reading and watching TV at night at 10 o’clock, I go for my sleep. When I go to bed, I think about my entire day. 

Holiday Routine: 

When my school is close and I have lots of spare time, my daily routine becomes a bit different. I add time for video games, playing in the field with friends, and spending more time with my cousins. 

That’s all about my daily routine. I love to follow this routine and I am very serious about it. I think It’s perfect for me. You can follow my routine too.

But finally, I came with a very productive and successful schedule of my life. I suggest you look back on your day and think about how do you spend your time. You need to find where should you spend most of your time and where not. 

How important is a daily routine?

A daily routine is a very essential thing that will make your day easy. I hope you will be able to create a very useful and proper daily routine.

For students, establishing a well-organized daily routine is not just about managing time effectively; it’s about cultivating habits that foster growth, learning, and personal well-being. This essay delves into the significance of a daily routine, outlines a comprehensive example of an effective routine for students, and explains how such routines can enhance various aspects of life.

The Importance of a Daily Routine

A daily routine refers to the structured schedule of activities that one follows throughout the day. This could range from morning rituals, academic tasks, extracurricular activities, to relaxation before bed. The importance of a daily routine for students cannot be overstated. It instills a sense of discipline, improves time management skills, reduces stress by removing the unpredictability from the day, and ultimately contributes to achieving academic and personal goals.

Establishing a Morning Routine

A productive day begins the night before. Setting a consistent bedtime and wake-up time ensures adequate rest and sets the tone for the day. Upon waking, engaging in a morning routine that includes hydration, exercise, and a nutritious breakfast can energize the body and sharpen the mind. A brief period of planning can also help prioritize tasks and set a clear direction for the day.

Academic and Extracurricular Balance

The core of a student’s daily routine revolves around academic responsibilities. Allocating specific blocks of time for attending classes, studying, and completing assignments can help manage the workload effectively. It’s crucial, however, to intersperse these periods with breaks to avoid burnout and maintain productivity.

Incorporating extracurricular activities into the routine is equally important. Whether it’s sports, music, art, or volunteer work, these activities provide a much-needed break from academics, fostering personal growth and skill development.

The Role of Leisure and Downtime

While it may seem counterintuitive, scheduling time for relaxation and leisure activities is a vital component of an effective daily routine. This downtime allows for mental and physical recovery, boosting overall well-being and creativity. Engaging in hobbies, spending time with family and friends, or simply relaxing can rejuvenate the mind and body, preparing students for the challenges of the next day.

Evening Wind-Down

An evening routine plays a critical role in signaling the body to prepare for sleep. Limiting screen time, reflecting on the day’s achievements, and planning for the next day can ease the transition into rest. Reading or meditating before bed can also help calm the mind and ensure a restful night’s sleep.

The Impact of a Daily Routine on Student Life

Academic performance.

A structured daily routine enhances focus and efficiency, allowing students to dedicate ample time to their studies. By breaking down tasks into manageable segments and avoiding procrastination, students can improve their academic performance and achieve better grades.

Physical Health and Well-being

Regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and sufficient sleep are fundamental aspects of a daily routine that directly impact physical health. These habits boost immunity, increase energy levels, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases, enabling students to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.

Mental Health

The predictability of a daily routine can significantly reduce stress and anxiety levels. By providing a sense of control and accomplishment, routines can improve mood, increase self-esteem, and foster a positive outlook on life.

Time Management and Productivity

Effective daily routines teach students the value of time management. By prioritizing tasks and minimizing distractions, students can enhance their productivity, leaving more time for personal interests and relaxation.

Building Life Skills

The discipline and self-control required to adhere to a daily routine are invaluable life skills. These habits encourage responsibility, independence, and resilience, qualities that are beneficial beyond the classroom and into adulthood.

Enhancing Creativity and Innovation

Contrary to the belief that routines stifle creativity, the structure provided by a routine can actually free up mental space for creative thinking. By automating decision-making for mundane tasks, students can channel their mental energy towards innovative projects and creative pursuits.

A well-structured daily routine is a powerful tool for students, offering a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond academic achievement. It lays the foundation for a disciplined and organized approach to life, cultivates healthy habits, and fosters personal growth and development. By embracing the principles of an effective daily routine, students can navigate the challenges of their academic journey with confidence, balance, and a sense of fulfillment. In the grand tapestry of life, the consistency and structure of a daily routine enable students to paint a vibrant picture of success, health, and happiness.

Back last summer, two of the NBA’s most respected pundits penned analyses of the NBA’s draft picture going forward. The articles, which both popped in August, didn’t get a lot of attention back then, but now, after the Phoenix Suns monumental collapse, they have new relevance ... a lot of it.

Sam Quinn of CBS Sports looked at which teams had the best cache of traded first round picks, all 56 of them. The Brooklyn Nets , he wrote, had the best cache, highlighted by the Phoenix Suns first round picks in 2027 and 2029 and the Dallas Mavericks first in 2029 — all unprotected. He rated the Suns first in 2029 the single best trade piece and wrote that he believed that of the top six traded first round picks going forward, four of them were controlled by the Nets:

Eric Pincus of Bleacher Report went further a little later in August, analyzing every team’s full cache of picks: traded picks as well as their own. He even included second rounders! Pincus included protections as well as swapped rights in his analysis. He too ranked the Nets cache high: top five in what he called “draft power.” The only teams Pincus ranked higher are the Jazz at No. 4, the Knicks at No. 3, the Spurs at No. 2 and the Thunder at No. 1. Who’d he have at No. 30? The Phoenix Suns, of course.

Which brings us to Sunday night. The Phoenix Suns, with the highest payroll in the league, got swept in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves . Mat Ishbia’s dream of generational dominance lies empty and broken in the Arizona desert. Other than the T’Wolves, the Brooklyn Nets look like the big winner Sunday night. No matter how valuable the Nets 10 first rounders and 11 seconds looked Sunday they’ve have a much higher price tag Monday morning with prospect of a long Suns rebuild certainly possible.

To recap, the Nets received five Suns picks in the Kevin Durant trade — four unprotected firsts in 2023, 2025, 2027 and 2029 plus swap rights to the Suns first in 2028, also unprotected — in addition to Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Jae Crowder, who the Nets turned into two Milwaukee Bucks second rounders. Since then, the Nets took Noah Clowney with the first of those picks and dealt the two Bucks seconds in salary dumps that provided them with $26.7 million in salary cap relief previously held down by Joe Harris and Patty Mills.

Brooklyn also got an unprotected Dallas Mavericks first rounder in 2029 from the Kyrie Irving trade along with two seconds, one of which was sent to Detroit in the Harris salary dump and still have the Philadelphia 76ers first rounder in 2027, protected 1-8. (It rolls over into a 2028 first with the same protections if not used in 2027.)

Other than sending a 76ers first from the James Harden trade to Utah for Royce O’Neale (and getting three Memphis Grizzlies seconds back from dealing O’Neale to the Suns at the deadline,) the Nets have held on to their picks. They will go into the 2024 — and presumably 2025 — off-seasons with seven tradeable first round pick and 11 seconds and that’s the plan: use the picks to make big deals, rather than spend time on figuring out which 14 or 16 year old might be NBA-ready in 2027 or 2029.

Quinn in a recent Twitter exchange with NetsDaily said he believes that in terms of quality, the Nets have a better cache than Oklahoma City Thunder...

Yea my stance has largely been, if I was gonna pick an overall portfolio, I'd take OKC's just because of the optionality that volume affords them, but I think the Nets have the most picks with the potentially to be really, really valuable. Basically all of their picks are good. https://t.co/oITOgAfZur — Sam Quinn (@SamQuinnCBS) February 29, 2024

Yes, the Nets owe the Houston Rockets their own firsts in 2024 and 2026 as well as swaps in 2025 and 2027, but those are sunk costs at this point and the increasing value of Suns — and maybe the Mavs picks — should take away some of that sting.

What makes the Nets a winner is the long-term situation in Phoenix. No team ever went all-in as the Suns have, thumbing their nose at both the new CBA and convention. They’re beyond the second apron and face increasing sanctions on their ability to make future moves. They have no firsts and one second between 2025 and 2030, their books a mishmash of swaps and protections. They’re hard-capped and can’t use the MLE or BAE for what seems like forever. They can’t include cash in trades, and trade rules in general become enormously restrictive as Quinn wrote Monday.

The Suns dilemma is one of their own making. Despite having all that cash, they didn’t fill basic needs like employing a top-flight playmaker and a reliable big, forcing Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant into roles that didn’t take maximum advantage of their skills. Going forward, they’re banking on older players with injury histories. Kevin Durant had a great year individually, averaging 27.1 points and 6.6 rebounds over 75 games, even finishing sixth in minutes played. But he is 35, turning 36 in September and is still owed $105 million over the next two seasons. Can the Suns ownership expect him to match the numbers he put up this season at age 37, particularly those related to his durability? You can’t put it past KD to do it, but there’s a risk. Making things even more iffy, KD is eligible for an extension this summer. Will Ishbia offer him one? Will he want to stay in Phoenix?

And according to a report from Shams Charania, KD is unhappy.

Durant, among the best scorers in NBA history, was not always happy with how he was used. Sources briefed on the matter told The Athletic that Durant never felt comfortable with his role in Phoenix’s offense alongside Booker and Beal this season. Those sources said Durant had persistent issues with the offense, feeling that he was being relegated to the corner far too often and not having the proper designs to play to his strengths as the offense was built around pick-and-rolls.

On the other side of the ledger, the Suns are not happy with Bradley Beal who played in only 53 games, averaging 18.2 points and 5.0 assists. Again, Shams:

In Phoenix, Beal dealt with injuries to begin the season, played in 53 games and never gained consistency at the point guard position. The arrangement was never ideal. Booker ran the offense more before the All-Star break, Beal did so after. Neither seemed comfortable as the point guard, particularly when the opposing team pressured full-court and wore on their stamina.

Beal is owed $161 million over the next three years and has a rock solid no-trade clause. They can’t even waive and stretch him under the new CBA, according to Keith Smith of Spotrac. They’re basically stuck with him.

So what will the Suns do? And how would it affect the Nets? Word is that the Suns may soon fire Frank Vogel which seem to indicate that Ishbia would like to revisit his dream again next season. It won’t be easy and not just because they don’t have a lot of tradeable assets. Their hands are tied. The new CBA has other restrictions that will make any big moves difficult.

Moreover, there’s a body of thought that Kevin Durant still has a wandering eye after switching teams three times from OKC to Golden State to Brooklyn to Phoenix and may want to make yet another move. His legacy remains front and center for him and he still has value. If the Suns have to trade him, they’re unlikely to get what they gave up for him in the Nets trade. And if that happened, would Devin Booker also ask out? Stephen A. Smith said Monday that he’s heard Booker wants to join the New York Knicks! Expect a lot more of that.

If any of those rumors became real, if Ishbia mounts a rebuilding campaign, it would be long, deep and painful ... for Suns fans. For Nets fans, though, it would be ideal. Those picks, particularly the firsts in 2027 and 2029 and the swap in 2028, could become the stuff of a superstar trade, if not immediately, then starting in 2025 when Brooklyn would be free of the luxury tax restrictions have two firsts in the Draft, the Suns and their own, which may have to be swapped with the Rockets.

Maybe the Suns will figure out a way to remake their team next season without draconian measures but it seems unlikely. In the interim, Nets fans can simply wait and see, root for the home team and against the Suns. Indeed, the latter’s fate may be more important!

Pro-Palestinian activists began an ongoing encampment at Penn’s College Green on Thursday amid dozens of colleges across the country demonstrating against Israel’s war in Gaza.

Over the past five days, The Daily Pennsylvanian has documented encampment programming, administrative updates, and counterprotesting on College Green. As the Gaza Solidarity Encampment passes its 100th hour, here are the pivotal moments from the DP’s live coverage, in photos.

Hour 1, Thursday, 4:30 p.m.: Encampment at Penn begins

Protesters arrived on College Green at 4 p.m. on Thursday, joining a faculty walkout in protest of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza. Soon, protesters began setting up tarps, creating a barrier as they pitched the tents they would then occupy indefinitely.

Hour 5, Thursday, 8:32 p.m. : Night one at encampment

As night fell upon the camp, organizers and volunteers brought in additional supplies, which included first aid kits, cases of water, boxes of pizza, and other necessities. Speakers informed protesters on site about “know your rights” protocols in case of potential arrest.

Hour 21, Friday, 12:46 p.m. : Poems for Peace and more art

An individual set up a “Poems for Peace” booth on Locust Walk in front of the encampment. Later joined by another poet, the two typed free poems for passersby and encampment participants. Encampment organizers also led an art build later in the day and established a "Refaat Alareer Memorial Library" from which participants could read. 

Hour 23, Friday, 2:21 p.m. : Graffiti on the Ben Franklin statue

An unidentified protester spray painted the words “Zios get fuckt” on the Ben Franklin statue outside College Hall. The act of vandalism was quickly covered by organizers with the encampment before Penn Police ordered protesters to remove all signage from the statue and pedestal. A few hours later, the statue was scrubbed and power-washed. Interim Penn President Larry Jameson latter condemned the vandalism as antisemitic in a statement.

Hour 27, Friday, 7:01 p.m. : Speaker programming at the encampment

Throughout the day, pro-Palestinian demonstrators spoke with members of the encampment about the geopolitical history between Israel and Palestine and the importance of organizing, among other topics surrounding the war in Gaza. Speakers included Fred Hampton Jr. of the Black Panther Party Cubs, former member of the MOVE movement Pam Africa, Pennsylvania state Rep. Rick Krajewski, New York state Sen. Jabari Brisport, and many more. Meanwhile, Chabad Rabbi Levi Haskelevich attempted to enter the encampment with students several times, but protesters physically blocked him from doing so.

Hour 31, Friday, 11:07 p.m. : Counterprotesters project Oct. 7 footage

Counterprotesters gathered in front of the encampment with Israeli flags. Penn Police set up barricades along Locust Walk to separate the two groups. In the following hour, the counterprotesters worked to set up projector equipment, briefly disbanded, then returned to play video footage from the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel. 

Hour 41, Saturday, 9:51 a.m. : Coffee run 

As encampment participants began to wake up, around 10 people joined them with supplies and coffee. Protesters do schoolwork, talk, and make signs as others invite those on Locust Walk to grab free coffee. 

Hour 51, Saturday, 7:48 p.m. : Nightly programming and quiet time

Nightly programming was typically quiet as campers engaged in calm discussions within the encampment. Other times, protesters would engage in a few rounds of chants such as, “One solution, revolution!” or “Free, free Palestine!” Music also filled the atmosphere occasionally, ranging from contemporary hits to traditional sitar music.

Hour 53, Saturday, 9:19 p.m. : Jameson and Jackson discuss with protesters

Encampment organizers met with Interim Penn President Larry Jameson and Provost John Jackson Jr. to discuss their three main goals — the disclosure of University investments, financial and academic divestment from Israel, and the defense of Palestinian students, beginning with the reinstatement of Penn Students Against the Occupation of Palestine. According to a statement from encampment organizers, Jameson and Jackson claimed "financial transparency is bad business sense” and told organizers that non-Penn affiliates at the encampment posed a “safety risk.” 

Hour 67, Sunday, 12 p.m. : Pro-Israel counterprotesters gather at Annenberg Plaza

Organized by Penn Hillel, counterprotesters gathered in front of the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in response to the pro-Palestine demonstrators. Following a series of speakers and singing "Hatikvah," the Israeli national anthem, pro-Israel demonstrators marched towards College Green, clashing with the encampment. A Drexel University student was also briefly apprehended by the police for trying to enter the encampment.

Hour 71, Sunday, 4:06 p.m. : Seder event interrupted by pro-Israel instigator with knife

A “Seder in the Streets” event — cohosted by Jewish Voice for Peace Philadelphia, Rabbis for Ceasefire Philadelphia, Families for Ceasefire Philly, and Tikkun Olam Chavurah — was established next to the encampment Sunday afternoon to observe traditional Passover. Organizers recounted the story of Passover while also supporting the people of Gaza. Half an hour into the seder event, a pro-Israel supporter with a knife holster on his belt entered the green. The knives were confiscated and the man was escorted away from the seder, placed in handcuffs on Walnut Street between 34th and 35th streets, and given a citation.

Hour 72, Sunday, 5:48 p.m. : Fire chief checks encampment

Chief of Penn Fire Department Eugene Janda conducted a sweep of the encampment in search of “fire hazards.” According to encampment organizers, Janda found the setup unsafe due to the tents’ close proximity and requested organizers create a clear pathway for individuals to exit. In response, organizers moved a barricade near College Hall to create an exit path.  

Hour 78, Sunday, 11:30 p.m. : Town hall in encampment commences, Split Button graffiti

Nightly chants continued, including the controversial “Al Qassam, make us proud, take another soldier down” chant. At 11:30 p.m., demonstrators held a town hall, informing other campers that the administration has not responded to their requests, with an organizer commenting that “we have got them scared.” The Split Button in front of Van Pelt-Dietrich Library was also vandalized with marker around this hour, and officers from the Division of Public Safety attempted to remove the vandalism. 

Hour 89, Monday, 9:30 a.m. : Workers power washing chalk

Workers power washed the chalk illustrations off the ground in front of the Ben Franklin statue as students prepared to head to morning classes. Earlier in the morning, official notices of trespassing were posted along the barricades, citing the encampment as a violation of Philadelphia city codes. As the power washing went on, multiple administrators — who had gathered hours prior — remained near the Split Button. 

Hour 97, Monday, 5:17 p.m. : Christian Zionist draws the attention of onlookers

A self-identified “Christian Zionist” arrived at the encampment holding a large Israeli flag with the words “Pray for Israel,” yelling anti-Hamas rhetoric and engaging in a speech toward the demonstrators. Sonya Gwak, a University Open Expression observer, intervened and asked the counterprotester to move behind the barricades on the opposite side of Locust Walk, citing a violation of “rules of engagement.” The individual refused to move and over the next two hours, the counterprotester continued to engage with and be confronted by passersby and encampment participants. Office of Student Affairs Executive Director Katie Bonner briefly confronted the counterprotester before he crossed to the other side of Locust Walk to the applause of the encampment participants.

Hour 100, Monday, 8:30 p.m. : Fate uncertain for encampment

As the encampment enters its fifth night, it remains uncertain whether or not Penn Police will make arrests of demonstrators in the immediate future. Usual end-of-year activities, such as the sophomore event U-Night, were relocated, diverging from tradition. While similar encampments at other universities met different fates, the encampment at Penn continues past its 100th hour on College Green, still erected next to the historic Ben Franklin statue.
