Liam Meldung, Week 10 - What Do I Want to Do With My Life?

        Some days, I feel lost and anxious, and it lingers for most of the day. I am the most undecided person about what I want for my future. You know when you have to fill out those forms on standardized tests where you put what type of major you’re thinking about. I have never put anything other than the numbers for undecided. It’s super overwhelming. 

        I have so many ideas of something I would want to major in and take part in as a future career, but I don’t know which one I would actually be good at and want to do. What should I do? Then I start to question, what if there is something else that I don’t know of yet and may be really good at and really enjoy? It’s a mess. I love music and movies, but it’s super hard to get jobs in those industries. Then there are more academic careers like something to do with chemistry and history. I also love animals and would enjoy doing something that includes them, the only problem there is the stuff I’m looking at that involves animals would take forever to happen. So, I’m still stuck.

        Another huge component to this anxiety is that I’ve had a huge problem with it that I won’t make a difference and live up to my potential. I hope that whatever I choose will prove my beliefs wrong and will help others. 

        Do any of you not know what you want to do when you’re older? Do you have any ideas, but aren’t sure? Can you help me choose?

    I understand the anxiety from this topic. I want to be a doctor when I grow up, but thinking about my future and not being sure of everything gives me so much anxiety. Sometimes I think about what my life could look like if I decide to build a career in another field like becoming an author or even a lawyer. I am hoping that my future just comes together and I will just know what to do when the time comes if that makes any sense, and hopefully this can happen for you too.

    I feel the same way. For a really long time I wanted to be a psychiatrist and I was set on going to medical school, but I decided I don't want to do that anymore. Now, I'm completely stuck, I have no idea what I want to be.

    It’s a tough decision to try and commit yourself to one profession for the rest of your life. I feel the same way because there are countless paths to go down. I think I’m going to be a broadcast journalist and try to be doing the news, or a teacher. I don’t envision myself having a sedentary job.

    My entire life I have wanted to be a doctor but, I haven't really done anything besides pre-med that has given me the opportunity to see what it would be like to be a doctor. It's kinda scary because now that I am getting closer and closer to going to college I keep on asking myself the same question: What if I don't wanna be a doctor? Then what would I do? I hope one day it all comes together and I am happy in whatever job I have.

    The problem I think with me is that I am not getting really anxious about these things and its getting me in super awkward situations with my parents when they ask me about my future and college. I don't know where I want to be or what I want to do, I just want to live happily.

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...
