24 Hours Research Paper

1129 Words5 Pages

After receiving an email to find out that my assignment was invalid, I turned blue. I was in my composition-1 class when I received this email and the instructor asked me if something was wrong. I had one more chance (thanks to Dr. Sitton) to spend 24 fresh hours without the media and prepare a report on it. As I work on the weekends at the university dining hall, media-free 24 hours was not going to be a big deal because I am not supposed to use the phone during work anyways. So my media free 24 hours began on 21st April at 2 pm. I left my cell phone at my apartment and walked to the dining hall. There were not many people sitting at the dining hall.

So I reached the dining hall late but as the hall opens at 10.20 am, it was fine. The full day shift is divided into two parts, 9.30 am to 3 pm and 4 pm to 8. For the first part of the shift, I worked on the floor. My job was to make sure that all the tables are clean, all the table have enough tissues, the juices machines are filled with juices, dessert area is full of cakes, cookies and ice-cream. This is the most difficult job in the dining hall and all my coworkers and I hate it. We have to keep on roaming for 5 hours straight even if there is nobody in the dining hall because we aren’t getting paid to sit. We are supposed to stand and be

  • Eating Meat Is Ethical Essay

    768 Words  | 4 Pages

    In today’s world, there is a division among the people in the world regarding whether or not it is ethical to eat meat. After researching about eating meat and vegetarianism, I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed ethical to eat meat in today’s society. Sure, eating meat might have its drawbacks, but I have found that the benefits of eating meat far outweigh the negatives of eating it. Eating meat not only helps improve people’s health, but it also helps strengthen our economy and it has little difference in the environmental impact that involves in the farming of vegetables.
