Noah Bard: Week 11 - Time Flies!

    Time flies when you’re having fun - that’s the cliche saying that everyone loves to use. However, this saying is extremely true, and I have experienced this first-hand this year. We are now nearing the end of the first semester of school, and time honestly couldn’t have flown by any faster than it has.

    I don’t know about you, but to me, it really does feel like school just started. It feels like yesterday when I walked into school for the first time and saw all of my friends. It is crazy to think that that was now over three months ago.

    The thought of time going by is a scary one and one that makes me question reality itself. It always seems like every year, time speeds up even more. It is scary to think that if time is going by so fast now, in the future, it will probably feel like time is passing at light speed.

    

    I know semester 2 is much longer than semester 1, but I really don’t know if it will feel that way, given this semester felt so much faster. I really hope that semester 2 doesn’t go by too fast, as I really want to enjoy the rest of the school year to its fullest extent.

     

    Something important that I feel I should mention is that I don’t believe in forcing things. If you try to force yourself to take advantage of your time, then it will just not be enjoyable. That is why, to me, it is best to let the enjoyment come naturally and to just go with the flow.

    I'm on a plane right now and I'm longing to finally be home in my own bed, and I know that when I do get home and take a shower, I'll be thinking about how fast my trip went by and how crazy it is that I am already home.

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...
