Comforts with the "S"

Abstract

Reese Smith is a nursing major from Quincy, MA. She says that she has come to realize how as a society we have very little comfort in our everyday lives and “often live a robotic lifestyle day in and day out, without taking much time to appreciate what is around us and incorporating comforts into our daily routines.” When writing this essay, Reese felt that she was able to take her own research and apply it to her daily life by taking time to infiltrate comforts (with an “s”) into her own routines. Her research is special to her since it stems from her interest in biophilic design and explores the extreme incorporation of comfort into a home or workspace. Comfort in the workplace is important to Reese as a nursing major who knows she will be “dealing with patients and families in what could be the most uncomfortable times of their lives.” She is passionate about taking care of people and hopes that she can “learn of people’s differences, what makes them comfortable, and how to provide care for them.”
