Leah Week 11 - My Love of Chocolate

Anyone who knows me well knows that I love chocolate. My mom used to say that I love chocolate so much, I would “sell my soul for chocolate”. 

It’s not just the actual candy chocolate that I love, but I also love anything that is chocolate flavored. For example, I love chocolate ice cream, cake, cupcakes, frosting, chocolate mousse, and so many more tasty and chocolate flavored desserts. 


Even though I love chocolate so much, I don’t eat as much of it as I used to because I don’t like most American chocolates. I don’t know why, but it just seems like British and South African chocolate, such as Cadbury's, is so much tastier than American chocolate, such as Hershey’s.  


However, there are a few occasional American chocolates that are actually really good. I like Ghirardelli chocolate and M&M’s, but I miss South African chocolate a lot. 


I remember when I was a little child, my mom would pick me up from school everyday except Fridays. This is because on Fridays, my Dad would come to get me. Almost every Friday, he would arrive at my school with the same chocolate for me, a Wonder Bar. Wonder Bars are a stick of just plain milk chocolate, wrapped in a shiny blue paper with white stars on it. The words “Wonder Bar” also appear on the wrapper in big, white letters. Receiving that Wonder Bar on Fridays was often the highlight of my day and now, Wonder Bars bring back happy memories. 


Do you love chocolate as much as I do? If you do, what kind of chocolate is your favorite?

    I love chocolate, too, but usually not in cakes or other desserts, just in candies. My favorite chocolate is probably Twix or crunch bars, but if you include white chocolate I also love Hershey's cookies and cream. I haven't had chocolate outside of America or Israel, so I'll have to look for a Wonder Bar if I ever go to South Africa because they sound delicious.

    I can't get enough chocolate. I love it so much! I have the same experience as you. When I was younger in Toronto, we'd have chocolate like Aero bars, Coffee Crisp bars, and Smarties. Those are good chocolates. They are so much tastier than the chocolates here in America. I think those would probably be my favorites, but if I had to choose one from America, it would probably be Twix, I love those.

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...
