The experiences my sophomore year have given me a variety of emotions. I felt happy performing in "West Side Story," energetic yet tired from swimming, confused from the many translations in Latin class, and most of all: stressed.

On an unexpected visit to the doctor I was sitting on the annoying table and I noticed, to my peril, that the mirror was slightly to my right. In order to see myself in the mirror I had to lean to the right and strain my neck a little.

I started to wonder, why is it annoying that I can't see the mirror? Why is it a necessity for me and others to see themselves constantly?
