Liam Meldung, Week 11 - Travel

        When considering something to write about for our last blog of this semester I was set on finding something more interesting, not about school, and stress in our lives. Travel was the first thing that popped into my head. 

        Everyone has travelled somewhere, whether it was to somewhere in Florida, in the United States, or outside of the country. I find it to be super exciting. The thrill of going to a new place, learning a new culture, picking up a few terms in a new language, seeing the history of the place you’re visiting, taking part in fun excursions, and taking a break from our hectic lives back home is just what most are looking for. Personally I love to travel for all these reasons and more. There are so many adventures and new experiences that we can have when travelling. I can tell you, from all the places I’ve travelled to so far, I have enjoyed Costa Rica the most. My family and I rode ATV’s, rode horses, walked across swinging bridges, immersed ourselves into nature, went to some cities along the way and picked up some souvenirs, and of course ate some delicious food. 

        When I think of travel there are a few downsides. My first one is that I dislike flying, especially for long amounts of time, it’s just so uncomfortable. My second downside is that going from place to place is tiring and really, there is no place like home. My third and final one would be if you get sick, that’s the worst, stuck in the hotel room all day, it sucks. Otherwise I can’t really think of any others.

        I have travelled to Israel, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Toronto, Calgary, Montreal, Maine, Turks and Caicos, and many other places. I just love it, and love every place I have ever visited. 

        What about you guys, where have you travelled? Do you have any other downsides that I didn’t list about travelling? What do you guys love about travelling?

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...
