Atara Berkower - Week 2 - My Weekend

My weekend

The weekends are my favorite part of the week. On Friday, when I come home from school, I complete an ACT practice test. I am motivated to finish the practice test quickly because I get to begin my weekend from there. To start off, I go to the gym. When I come home, I have to get ready for Shabbat dinner with my family and friends. Home for Shabbat dinner, my friends pick me up in the middle of the meal and join my family. My friends all hang out and eat dessert with my family as they wait to walk to my other friend's house. Friday nights are my favorite because I get to see my friends who I have not been with all week, since I go to a different school than them. On Saturday, I get to sleep in until noon, until I am woken up for Shabbat family lunch. I look forward to Saturday lunch because my mom makes the best schnitzel, an Israeli form of breaded chicken. When I finish lunch, I get to hang out with my friends which is special because I do not see them throughout the week. On Sundays, I wake up early for ACT tutoring. I study with my tutors from 9 am until 12 pm. When I finish, I play tennis with my dad. This is my weekend routine, and always do something different Sunday afternoon. It can be going to the beach, the mall, to lunch with my friends, or Miami. The weekends are my favorite part of the week because I get to take a break from the long school days and get to see my friends who I do not see daily. What is your favorite part of the weekend?

    It sounds like you really plan out your weekends well to squeeze every bit of time out in a way you'll enjoy spending it. Good for you! So many people just waste their weekends and then regret it when Sunday night rolls around.

    Wow, you do a lot during your weekends! How do you find the time for everything? My weekends are so much more boring than yours are. I spend most of my time doing homework, sleeping, watching tv, eating, and swimming. I do that pretty much over and over again until we have school and have more work piled on! Do you have a trick in planning out your weekends that allows you to get to do all that you want to?

Ben Nikpour - Week 10: Oscar Viewers are Dropping

Image
     Before a few days ago, I did not know much about the Oscars. I knew it was an award show, but besides that, I was basically clueless. It wasn’t until the Will Smith and Chris Rock situation that I spent the time to look into what the Oscars are.       For some background, the Oscars, properly known as the Academy Awards, are awarded to artists in the film industry. The first show was in May of 1929. At its peak, in 1998, the Oscars brought in over 55 million viewers; that same year was the release of one of the biggest movies of all time: Titanic. Since then, viewers have been dropping. In 2020, the Oscars had their lowest amount of viewers with only 24 million people watching the event. In 2021, the Oscars broke their 2020 record of lowest viewers by only bringing in less than 11 million people. This year the Oscars brought in close to 17 million viewers which is an improvement but not by much. Award shows like the Grammys, Emmys, Golden Globes, ...

Noah Bard Week 1 - The Misunderstanding of our Modern-Day Gladiators

Image
   When I hear the word gladiator, I Immediately think of the Colosseum and humans being eaten by lions. However, times have changed, and so has the term gladiator. I’m talking about the sport of MMA, and more specifically, UFC fighters. Besides the few million crazed fight fans out there like myself, the current consensus about MMA is that it’s stupid. At face value, it’s a very sensible conclusion to make. Why in the world would anybody want to risk their lives on national television, or in that case at all? Well, here’s why.      Every day before that bell rings, these men and women are mastering the art of fighting. It takes much more than just supernatural athleticism; it ultimately comes down to the fighter's mental fortitude. Every slight move in the eyes, feet, and hands of your opponent must be taken into account to win. It’s a common stereotype to think that fighters aren’t very smart and not only because of what they do for a living, but oftentimes it...

Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport

  Ariella Green Week 7: The Airport      Don’t ya hate going to the airport?       I absolutely can not stand going to the airport. As I’m sure most of you know, I am very organized and like to plan out everything. When things don’t go according to the plan, it stresses me out.       Thursday morning, I assumed I would have an easy experience flying from PBI to JFK on JetBlue airlines. Little did I know, there would be many little bumps along the way that I had to deal with while trying to catch my flight.       First, we arrive at the airport at around 10:30 for our 11:45 flight. I personally believe that you should always give yourself enough time at the airport, so you don’t have to rush at the gate or if you want to make a purchase. We also had to face the challenge of finding somewhere to park, which is nearly impossible sometimes. After searching for a while, we found...
