Target

I work in one of Target’s branches located in Norcross. Target corporation is one of the biggest retailers in the United States. Looking for clothes , accessories , beauty regimens etc, Target is the best best place to go. In addition, residents in Norcross like to shop at Target because of its affordable and very welcoming customer services.

This Target branch is very close to my house; it usually takes me 17 minutes by foot and 5 minutes by car to get there. This is one of the reasons i like to work at this target. Items at Target are all the time very neatly arranged and well organized, this my second reason why i like working at there. Most of the decorations in target are most often in red. Expect to see new trends and items each time you visit. Furthermore, It has over 100 workers within the Norcross branch. Employees comes from diverse and different ethnic backgrounds. Employees are very relying, friendly and always willing to help. They always do their best to solve customers questions in other to make customers fell comfortable as they shop.

Finally , Target is not very noisy, it has a very calm and peaceful environment which is why i enjoy working there.

My Space

Whenever I twist my rather cool brass doorknob, I soon enter into what I call my heaven. I immediately plop on my bed and wrap myself tight in my cozy, warm, pink blanket.  As I sit in my bed wrapped tight in my cozy, pink blanket, I gaze around my room and notice all of the things that are there. Looking to my left, my salmon-pink wall is covered by a large, silver floor length mirror. Beside my mirror is a pink and white clock that ticks and tocks throughout the day and night. In front of my bed, there is a dresser that holds all of my girly things. My dressers holds many perfumes,lotions, facial masks, and moisturizers. On the same wall beside my dresser there is a large, rectangular shaped window with sparkly pink curtains.  The wall in front of me is full of thousands of memories. My photos, painted pictures, certificates, tickets, photos of me ,and my friends and family. The wall looks as if someone has taken my brain, thrown it in a blender and splashed it on the wall. The wall contains the bits and pieces of my entire life. Near my memories there hangs my shiny silver TV. Every part of my room is what makes me. My imagination, my sanity, my love, my peace ,and all my hopes and dreams are all inside of my room.

My Space- Neiman Marcus

The smells of various perfumes filled the air as I walked down a path of insanely clean tiles. A smile awaited each corner followed by a soft “Hello” or “May I help you?”. Customers found their own path, each carefully looking to ensure that they found the right product . It was as if I entered an entire world of my own. Mirrors that engulfed entire walls presented the glorious reflection that was “Neiman Marcus”.

Lifetime Fitness

As the doors automatically slide open, you can already feel the adrenaline rushing inside of you as you enter the big, wide, open space. The interior is brightly lit, not because of the overbearing number of lights, like they have at Walmart, but because of the massive windows that allow the natural sunlight to beam straight through. When you make your way to the second floor, there are multitudes of exercising equipment that you can choose from, so you do not feel limited. Additionally, the air is cool all around, which makes you actually feel good about sweating. However, if you still feel unclean, there is nothing to worry about because there are also showers available to use in the locker rooms. But even before that, you have the option to go swimming outdoors and indoors, or you can just sit inside of the sauna and relax to your heart’s content. If there is any place that makes you feel a life of luxury, it is here. The options are endless at Lifetime.

My Space

I am in 633B at Piedmont Central. The room is decorated with posters, hanging lights, and extra furniture, which makes my friend’s dorm room the perfect place for my friends and I to study together. Some students are aggressively studying on their computers on top of the beds; other students are talking on the floor about random things from double sided posters to the GSU aquarium night. Even though it was almost 2 am, all of the bedroom’s lights were on and the bedroom was surrounded by half- eaten food and open bags of chips. There are noises coming from the microwave as someone is heating up popcorn and noises from the water boiler because everyone is sharing the spicy “fire” ramen to eat. Because the room is so small, the smells from all of the different food like the barbecue chips or the macaroni and cheese fills up the entire room. Laughter also spreads across the room as we all share funny posts or videos from Facebook, Reddit, or YouTube. Some of us don’t have homework to do so they decide to help other students study. When we all decide to take a break, we learn new things about each other and relax.

Starbucks

Starbucks’s “space” is consumer friendly. When they ask for your name, they write it on the cup and show some intimacy with the customer so that the customer feels safe. The free wifi and a place to sit is that you can stay around and enjoy yourself while drinking their coffee. The occupants are from all ethnics and cultures which show that Starbucks is very diverse and free of prejudice. The table with the with all the condiments like milk, creme, and sugar is for you when you think that your drink is missing something or needs more, it’s provided on the table. The locations are also highly convenient. They are located nearly everywhere you drive, some are found near and in malls, shopping districts, and there is also one at Aderhold at Georgia State if you would also like some coffee. The glass walls lets you see inside of Starbucks, to see the quality of the workers working, the customers inside, the cleanliness, and the overall experience you can receive.

My space.

I sit in the gathering area almost everyday this is my go to place. The Gathering Area is a nice sized space in the middle of the fourth floor. This area provides you with a place to study, chat, wash clothes, and watch tv. Basically one big bonding area. I’m shy, but this is where I went to make friends.Hanging in the gathering area has allowed me to meet so many different people. It has big wide windows that let in rays of sunlight, at night the artificial lights dazzle and dance from one side of the room to the other, it’s equip with two high tables, several chairs to go along with that, microwaves, a sink, and three love seats; it ultimately has a sleek modern design. The gathering area is not too far from my room. My peers may see it as a place to relax, meet & greet with each other, get work done and hang out. I see this as a place to interact with my friends get feedback or help on my work, and just talk. It can sometimes be noisy like the dining hall or quite like the highest floor in the library. But that doesn’t phase me because I love this area of the dorm. Why I like the Gathering Area most?, I think is because it reminds me off being at home and hanging with family in the living room. It comforts me knowing when I go out there it gives me a semi permanent feeling of home.

My Space

Grey and white walls, white furniture to match, my bed with a banner of my name hanging over it is positioned in the middle of the room as the focus point.   My desk is sitting to my right, adorned with an oversized vanity mirror and fluorescent lights. Hope and Love are the two words that stand out when you look at my desk/vanity. A bamboo rose and a remembrance flower is placed in a sparkly silver mason jar, pencils and pens also live in there. My favorite fragrances sit right on the edge waiting to be picked up in the morning as I walk out the door. A plane figure with four straight sides and four right angles, matte black, and 22 in, faces me. My dresser resting beneath it filled with my necessities. Let’s not forget about my closet, which is right next to my bed. Seeming big and spacious, my clothes seems to think otherwise. as my shoes are lined up and down the bottom half, the top is color coordinated from left to right and the top shelves are stuffed with mountains of extra apparel. Sitting 6 feet high, my other dresser sits to my left. Containing winter clothes and pajamas, it is also used as a remembrance wall. Here I placed an obituary of my grandfather and one of my grandmother. My grandmothers smelling like fresh printed paper it is the one I look at the most. Spots are left empty for pictures of her and I waiting to be placed. Straight ahead lies my bathroom, all white walls with two grey stripes, I can say this is where the magic happens. Towels hanging from the rack, clothes hung on the doorknob, and hairpins scattered across the counter top. My room, the place where I dwell day in and day out is my serene place. Its where I can come and cry, laugh, write, read and be at peace. It also my remembrance place. My Grandmother and I shared my room, so this place is filled with memories of us, It’s also the place where she passed. So not only do I come her to remember her but to feel closer to her. White meaning new beginning and grey meaning calm. This place is a place of serenity. Soaking all negative energy from you and purifying you with positive energy it’s the place of starting over. I love my room, it gives me a space where I can let go and be me.

Eclipse di luna

One of my favorite places to go is Eclipse di Luna. There are two branches of this restaurant: one right next to Perimeter mall and another near Lenox mall. I love the fact that they are so close to the mall because then i can just go eat there after roaming around in the mall for hours. They carry delicious Spanish tapas which are to die for. The restaurant offers live Latin music for customers’ entertainment to which people can dance to. I mostly go to the one near Lenox mall, the restaurant is filled with red, orange and yellowish toned color, matching the flag of Spain.  With dimmed lights and ancient Spanish architecture along with excellent music, the place offers a soothing environment which takes me to a faraway place. As soon as one enters the restaurant, there is a bar covering the whole wall to their right, carrying varieties of drinks to meet as many customers’ preferences as they can. One side of the ceiling has pattern design with red, black, and yellow blocks and the rest has a zig zag texture and the material seems like metal. All the furniture are made out of wood. There are sculptures, paintings throughout the place, reflecting the Spanish culture. There is a Spanish flag hanging on the ceiling in the center of the restaurant; right in front of the bar and another covering  the wall next to the table at the very back. The restaurant takes care of all their customer’s needs and allows them to choose if they want to sit inside and outside. For example, some people prefer a more quiet place without the music so they are given the opportunity to sit outside comfortably with the same dimmed lights creating a peaceful environment. . Many customers prefer to sit in the bar having drinks while they enjoy the live music, Others prefer to get up and join the crowd of dancers. All in all, it is a perfect place to eat and it guarantees a good time.

My Space

Rhodes Jordan Park is like a small town, and its soccer complex is like a home. Everything such as school, work, or just life is left behind you walk thru the door and enter heaven. The field has a beautiful shade of green and smell of the fresh air calms all the nerves. When the lights are on there will be someone there; you may see someone you never met, but you speak the same language, soccer. The environment is great, you never feel alone and can easily start a friendship because you already have something in common. It is a diverse place; you don’t hear one language or see one race, with a limitless age gap, to a young child to a senior. It could be pouring hard, have breezy winds, intense heat, or loud thunder no matter the situation the game takes everything away all the focus is towards the ball and the aim is the game. The moment you step on that field you smile in the fact that you there and when its time to leave you to hope to come back for more, it is not just a game its life.
