Ariella Green Week 8: Our Terrible Weather

 Ariella Green Week 8: Our Terrible Weather


Don’t ya hate when the weather in Florida is just gross?


This past week, after coming back home from the beautiful weather in New York, I was hit with heat and humidity. The weather here can never make up its own mind. One second Florida decides to rain, the next it stops completely, and lastly it chooses to drizzle. I find our weather season is just so unpredictable. 


Tuesday morning, my first day back at school, I woke up to my room being cold just how I like it. I debated with myself whether or not I should stay in bed or be at school on time. It took a lot of courage, but I got out of bed. After I got ready, I began walking to my car. It was pretty humid out. Just when I begin to turn into the school it begins to rain. Even though the Rebbe says that rain is a blessing, I still don’t like to get wet when I am trying to go into school. Because of the weather, I was forced to leave my painting inside my car to prevent it from getting ruined. I should’ve had my umbrella in my car, but I don’t know where I last placed it. As soon as I made it near the playground, the rain began to pour down even harsher. I came to class damp and unhappy. In the future, I should remember to keep my umbrella and a jacket in my car for emergencies. 


In the afternoon as I was walking to my car, I’m sure most of you can agree with me, that it’s like a workout because of how much you sweat.  


This is not the type of weather you hear about when you are deciding whether you should make a visit to Florida. The travel agencies make you believe that it’s always sunny, and everyone is always at the beach. In fact, we are always hot outside, and freezing inside because the thermostat is most likely between 71-73 degrees. 


In New York, I got the chance to wear sweaters and all the things that I never get to wear down here. We have very few good days in Florida where the weather is just perfect, and hopefully will be experiencing it soon. 



What are your thoughts about our weather? What kind of weather do you prefer to live in?

    Being from Chicago, I have a much stronger appreciation for Florida weather. In Chicago, there are only two seasons. Winter and summer. The weather for nine months of the year consists of freezing and strong winds and cold rain. It also snows. A lot. So long story short, when it comes to weather, I would take a Florida winter over a Chicago winter any day.

    When I lived in New Jersey, I thought the Florida weather was incredible. Vacations to Florida were the best because I got to experience the beautiful weather. Now that I live in Florida, I think the exact opposite. I hate the weather here. It is always either too hot and humid or pouring rain. I miss the sweater weather of the Northeast, and I miss the snow.

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...
