Ariella Green Week 6: Paper Cuts

Ariella Green Week 6: Paper Cuts

 Don’t ya hate when you get some form of a paper cut?

Now, if I do say so myself, I am one of the best at getting bumps, bruises, and cuts. Most of the time I don’t even know how it happened because of how often I get hurt. I find that paper cuts are one of the most painful kinds of cuts because it’s as if you're being cut by a razor blade. It also takes paper cuts a very long time to heal, and they’re still smarting for a few days after. 


This past weekend, when I was at Hebrew School, I was in the middle of handing my students the mini white boards. As I was passing them out, one of the edges nicked my right hand middle finger. (Of all fingers by the way!) This cut is still bothering me for over 4 days. It does not help that the cut is in the worst possible place because I have to use my right hand to do everything. 


Also, about a few years ago, I was helping my mother pack packages. As I was closing the legal flat rate envelope, it cut me! I can assure I was not holding the package incorrectly, it just was not my day. I think I am one of the very few people who can say they've been cut by a package.


I really wonder how and why everyday “safe” objects can turn unsafe in the matter of seconds. I mean doesn’t anyone else find it strange that paper products can act as razors?


What are your thoughts about paper cuts? How painful would you rate them based on a scale of 1-10? (10 being the most painful)

    I definitely agree with you, paper cuts are so small and you barely noticeable when you get them, but afterwards, they are very painful. I have gotten them a lot but I used to get them very often when I was a child.

    Paper cuts are 2/10 painful. They aren't that bad at first but after while they just get annoying.

    Paper cuts are so frustrating! I tend to be clumsy as well so I completely understand how annoying it can be to randomly find a new paper cut on your hand.

    Honestly, I can't remember a time when I ever got paper cuts. However, how you describe them makes them sound very frustrating.

    I haven't got a paper cut in a while, but, the pain varies on how bad you cut yourself with the paper, but, usually the pain is around 2/10 like Rosalie said.

    Paper cuts are bad because it always takes a few seconds for it to start hurting, so you think "whew! I didn't get a paper cut even though the edge slid across my fingers!" and then... BAM! I am super clumsy, so I get paper cuts more often than I'd like. Worse than paper cuts, though, are cardboard cuts!

    I don't think it's necessarily the pain the makes the paper cuts so bad, but the annoyingness. There's nothing worse than going to grab something and realizing there's a cut that hurts more than falling off a jet ski into a shark's mouth on the surface of your finger.

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

   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...
