Hannah Shinder Week 9- Winter!

    As summer had quickly disappeared and fall appeared for a very short time, the best time of year has come! Winter has a place in many hearts of people living in Florida as it is a time that is considered “cold”. 

    Although many Floridians sometimes say that it is too cold, many northerners always disagree and make fun of us. When I was on the phone with my family who lives in New York, they made fun of me for saying that 60 degrees were considered sweatshirt and sweatpants weather. They said that they would be in shorts and a sweatshirt and stay outside all day. Although I could probably survive wearing those clothes, I and many others find it more fun to act over-dramatic about how cold it really is. I love it when I go to eat brunch and all I see is people wearing winter coach and ugg slippers and it's literally sunny and 60 degrees. 

    Even though during the winter the beach can get a little cold a windy, I still find it fun to enjoy a day there. I usually go since my brother comes home from college and is obsessed with going to the beach since he goes to college in Boston. My family always teases him, because he still isn’t used to the winter in Boston and it’s his last year in college. 

    Although the 60-degree winter is fun, I am also in love with the winter up north. Many describe winter up north as something you never want to live in, but I enjoy the snow and cold. The way to work around being freezing is just dressing appropriately in my opinion. The feeling of putting on your winter coat and boots and stepping in the snow as you walk down the streets makes me feel a sense of happiness. 



Discussion question: Do you consider Florida during the winter cold and do you like the cold weather?

    I love cold weather as it allows me to wear the most comfortable clothes. Although it really sucks getting up in the morning when it's cold outside. In comparison to actually cold places like the Northeast, Florida is never cold, but for me it's the perfect temperature.

    Being from Chicago, I don't think I will ever consider winter in Florida cold. I always hear my friends complaining that it is freezing outside when it is 70 degrees and laugh because if they think that is cold they would not be able to live in Chicago. Winter in Chicago is terrible, so when people in Florida tell me that they love winter I always get so confused because to me, when I think of winter the only things that come to mind are heavy winter coats, cracked skin from the cold, and traffic from too much snow. But I guess now I can say that I love winter because in Florida you can wear long pants and sweatshirts without being too hot without needing to worry about lugging around a heavy winter coat everywhere you go.

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...
