Warning: The following scenes are a bit sensitive and may be deemed explicit.

I can’t believe how much time had passed. But I was living on top of the world.

It turns out Standford really meant business. I was up for the biggest roles on the screen.

I had just finished a Broadway show and my star just kept shining brighter each time.

I should have been feeling like the whole world was at my feet. But I wasn’t. Some part of me felt empty and I just wanted that feeling to go away.

Oh, Eliza, you are going to blow it.

It is time to be happy.

But who was I kidding? I just couldn’t shake the nightmares.

Each time I closed my eyes I saw him.

The monster who raped me!

Damn it Eliza let it go!

Let it be!

I needed to get a hold of myself but each time I tried it became harder for me to shake the feeling it would happen again.

I wasn’t fond of the styles of dresses they chose for me.

Standford wanted me to look my absolute best. But the dresses were always tighter and shorter each time.

I couldn’t help but feel like a piece of meat surrounded by a bunch of men whose only interest was in my body.

I felt like a puppet, following orders and going with what they wanted me to do.

Then came the day I was asked to do a photo shoot.

Everything started out as normal, but nothing could have prepared me for what they wanted out of me.

“Topless?” I asked.

“Darling, calm down!”

“Stanford, I am not posing topless!”

“Eliza, please, darling. These shots will be tasteful. I promise you!”

“I just can’t Standford.”

I began to cry and shake.

After I did that Standford came to me. He took me to the back room.

“Eliza, please darling. Trust me.”

He patted my back and then handed me a glass of water with some pills.

“What are these?” I asked.

“Take them. It will help you relax.”

I hesitated for a moment, then took them.

After some time had passed I felt more relax and a bit intoxicated.

I remember the photographer coming near me and taking the photos.

Standford smiled as the photographer took the shots.

My clothes were almost all gone except for a sheet that covered me.

After that moment I knew that things for me would never be the same. Whatever innocence or self-respect lived in me was gone. Standford was just like the rest of them.

I tried to cover my tears as both Standford and the photographer placed their hands on me while taking the photos.

I felt so light headed I am not sure what happened. All I know is I woke up completely naked the next morning and next to me was Standford.

Why can’t I just walk away?

Why can’t I just leave?

“Hey, come back to bed darling," called Standford. Then, he grabbed my arm. Not soon after he had his way with me again.

Why bother anymore?

I am a prisoner.

I just can’t escape.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
