Hannah Shinder Week 11- What do I want to do

    As we are slowly approaching our senior year of high school, we all need to start deciding about college. Recently, I have been thinking about what colleges to tour and what type of area I want to be living in. 


    This past month I went to New York to not only see my family but to also tour a college that was very interested in me for athletics purposes. As I sat down with my mom going to register to take the tour they ask the question: “What major do you want to pursuit”. There I go with my “uh oh”, since I have mixed emotions. There are 3 sections of me that I see myself majoring in, which include: media production, sports nutrition, and media communication. This school was so small that they don’t even have an undecided option since they sort of want you to know what you want to major in. After staring at the screen for a few seconds, I look at my mom and say “I have no idea”. Well, in the end, I clicked the option for media communication with a lot of uncertainty. 


    Well, many may be asking, so why are you writing about this right now. Well, the answer is because I am trying to figure out my summer right now. I have made an agreement with my mom that I can go on a teen tour if I do a summer program at a college. So now I am again staring at the screens of many different college summer programs wondering what major program do I want to do this summer. As I scroll through the different options, some seem more interesting than others, but all seem relatively enjoyable. 


    Ultimately, I think that I will end up doing a Tulane summer program and go on a teen tour to Europe. On this summer program, I will be furthering my education about one of the topics. This also makes it look very good on my resume, since one of my top schools to attend is Tulane. I hope that this can help the admission team at Tulane understand my desire for attending the school.

    I don't really know what my plans are for this Summer, one possibility would maybe be going on Seminar to travel to Israel for six weeks with my camp friends through a program ran by my old camp. But, for right now, I just plan to make my summer very fun and filled with adventure.

    This summer, like every other summer, my family and I will be going to Israel. We might also be going on another trip to somewhere either in Asia or Europe. Towards the end of the summer, I am planning on doing a summer medicine program but haven't fully committed to it yet.

    I don't really have any plans for my summer yet, but I know my dad wants me to do a college program this summer. I did one last summer that i hated in the beginning, but ended up loving. Hopefully next summer I'll have a similar experience.

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...
