Lindsey Maschler Week 8: Pretty Rocks

     Crystals are something that you either believe in or do not, there is not really an in-between. Recently, they have become more and more popular, with more people learning about them.

     I have been into crystals for over a year, starting when the pandemic first hit and everyone was staying home. I got bored one day and decided I wanted to teach myself something new and pick up a new hobby, so I did just that. I talked to my friend at the time who was also super into crystals, and she basically taught me everything I needed to know to get started. I started to be familiar with what kind of crystal did what, and how I can make them do it. To activate your crystals, you need to introduce your intentions for it, by holding them in your hand or just keeping it with you, and saying what your intentions are. This might sound cliche, but I have found that the more you believe in it the more that it will work. 

There are crystals for just about anything, whether it is for luck or for happiness. Not only are they useful, but they are also super pretty. Each crystal is different, with a different overall shape, color, and pattern on it. Some of the most common crystals include Amethyst, which is purple and promotes calmness and serenity, Rose Quartz, which is good for manifesting love and relationships, Selenite, which is clear and good for self-care and cleansing your aura, and Lapis Lazuli, which helps you come up with new ideas. Do you believe in crystals?

    I think crystals are really cool! I have a few at home and one of my favorites is my rose quartz necklace. I love looking through all the different colors and shapes of crystals. Each one is so beautiful and unique.

    I think crystals are so pretty and cool but, I never knew that you could activate them and atet they have meanings. I don't believe in crystals but, I think it's cool to learn about them!

    I did a project all about the gemstones on the choshen mishpat, the breastplate of the cohenim in the torah. I talked about all their powers which are talked about in various stories throughout the Tanakh, and was fascinated by it. Just this summer when I went to California I bought myself a couple raw rocks which I keep on my windowsill and I sometimes charge with insense my mom's friend gave me.

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...
