Solomon Holzhauer- Week 5-Take a cold shower

     I just felt the need to blog about this concept of taking a cold shower everyday. There are so many benefits from doing this. These benefits include,  waking you up, which is good if it is early in the morning and you need to wake up, or if at night and you need to stay awake to finish homework, it increases circulation, reduces muscle soreness post-workout, potentially boosting weight loss,  and makes you have glowing hair and skin. And these are just some of the basic benefits of taking a cold shower everyday. If you are on a weight-loss journey, this is so beneficial to you, even if you are just trying to lose a few pounds. If you are an athlete, or a basketball player, you can relate to this. From all that conditioning and running you have to do every practice makes your whole body sore, so this can be very relieving. The cold water has regenerative properties, that make your muscles relax and repair after a tough workout. Now, to get on to more health issues that taking a cold shower everyday benefits, are issues like your heart rate, oxygen intake, and or alertness. This can help these issues in such a positive way. The only con of taking cold showers is if you are sick, which obviously will make it worse, and mess with your immune system.

Don't these benefits make you want to start taking a cold shower everyday? Are you going to start taking a cold shower everyday?

    I can relate to your statement on some level. Although cold showers are sometimes relieving after working out and feeling very sore, I don’t enjoy them. I would rather take a hot shower as I feel more fresh after.

    It's funny I am reading this now as I just started to take cold showers for the first time. Since the school's basketball season is starting now, cold showers will help with the recovery process for workouts. I hope I see results.

    Okay, so I have definitely heard people touting the benefits of taking a cold shower. I know it's supposed to be great for you and all, but just... no. I like my shower so hot that most people consider it too hot. I have tried the cold shower thing, and it just made me miserable that my shower was not relaxing at all. I'm glad it works for you, though!

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...
