Ariella Green Week 10: Waiting

 Ariella Green Week 10: Waiting

     Don’t ya hate waiting?


     As much as I try to be patient, it still takes a lot of practice. I tend to have more patience when it comes to certain things like when I’m babysitting. I absolutely hate waiting on people whether I’m waiting on a response to an email, or when I’m behind that one person on line that just takes forever to order because they don’t know what they want.  


     I’m the type of person that likes to finish something as fast as I can, and in one sitting. (Hence why I write my blog posts so fast if you haven’t noticed) 


A little backstory, a few Sundays ago, I hired a substitute teacher. I paid the substitute, but when I looked in my account, I wasn’t given the money to hire her. I’m currently waiting to see if they paid her my salary for the day because now I’m out my salary and the money I paid her. To add to that, I’m also waiting on the results for the math test that I took on Wednesday. I know it hasn’t been that long, but I can’t help but wonder how I did. 


     As I’m staring at my phone writing this blog, I just realized that life is a waiting game. All of us are waiting to see what will happen next because it seems more exciting than what’s happening now. If that’s the case, I wonder if I should change my approach. Instead of waiting for something to happen because I want to get it over with, I’m watching to see how everything unfolds. 


     However, this realization still doesn’t change the fact that I hate waiting. I suppose with age I’ll be less inclined to get things over with, and more content with the phase of life that I’m in now.


Question: Would you consider yourself a patient person?

    I find my myself to be very patient when I'm not very involved with something, or have no interest. Although if I'm passionate about something that needs to get done, I have absolutely no patience.

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...
