“I need to see identification.”
“Oh yes my bad and it’s LuAnn Patterson. They spelled my name wrong.” The security guard looked at her ID to see the missing ‘a’ in her first name and handed it right back. It was a clear Saturday night in the big city and everyone was out having a good time whether it is to see the new Broadway play or going out shopping. However, Miss Patterson likes to spend her nights partying at “Club Ice”. She always goes to the same club down the street where she lives. Everyone in the club knows who she is from all the nights spent partying. Every time she went there, a guy named Mike Smith would always try to flirt with her in any way possible even though he is 20 years older than her.

Tom started to walk towards realizing he had hurt Luann. As he walked over her face quickly turned to a bright red and she threw the broom at him.
“Get out of my home you asshole!” Tom bolted out of her apartment in a matter of seconds. She sobbed for a good 20 minutes.
In tears she took the pamphlet from the ground and looked at the cover. The title read, “Finding the Balance in Life: Stay Organized”. She read the entire pamphlet and then wiped away her tears. In the Pamphlet it talked about taking a break for a week to schedule everything. She
