Hannah Shinder Week 5- How to manage time

     School sports can take up a lot of time and the most important life skill to follow is time management in this case. Time management is something that I think everyone can relate to and has struggled with or is still struggling with. If it is not handled properly, then the end result will be your work won’t get done or it will be procrastinated and not done the best you could do. Along with procrastination comes being able to have a balanced schedule between extracurriculars and school work. Recently, I have had to deal with this certain struggle. 

    As being a member of the school volleyball team, I devote a lot of my time to this sport. We have practice every single day that there is not a game. The practices are 2 hours long after school and games on the other hand can take up a lot of the afterschool day and night. This is due to travel time and the fact that games go longer than a usual practice at our home facility. 

    To overcome this battle of having a balance and being flexible with my schedule, I have had to most importantly not procrastinate. Now some may say, if you have trouble then don’t play the sport. This is not the case, as I don’t have a problem getting my work done since I make schedules of what I am going to do each day and keep track of due dates to get as much as I can do when it is given. 


Discussion Question: have you ever felt this struggle and are there any tips that you could give for how you manage your time?

    I often struggle to manage my time, so I completely understand your struggle. It is wonderful to be involved in many things, but it can also be stressful.

    It is very difficult for me to manage time. This struggle is seen by this comment being posted at almost 11:00 pm the night before the due date. For me, I normally just try my best to divide my work up into days and decide on how many assignments I will have to do per night. This prevents me from having to rush all of my assigned work in one night.

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...
