Week 7- Solomon Holzhauer-My trip to NYC

I went on a trip last weekend to New York City and I am going to share about it. It started off with a very claustrophobic flight from the Miami International airport to LaGuardia Airport where it then got delayed. This trip was to celebrate my Grandma's 75th birthday as a family. As soon as we got off the festivities were about to start. We were in a rush from our flight, because it was delayed, which landed at 11:30 or something, to a broadway show called, "The Lehman Trilogy ''. This was a very good show, where me and my siblings noticed one of the main characters looked very familiar, turns out he was the dad from the original Charlie and The Chocolate Factory movie. Anyways, we had to take a taxi from the airport to the hotel to drop our bags off, to then make it on time for the show. The drive was an hour and the show started in an hour! We told the driver we were in a rush and trying to make it to a Broadway show but of course he had to let the whole city of cars pass us (what a nice guy!) Luckily, we did all of that and made it on time. After the show we went to a very famous restaurant, called "Barbetta", the food was spot on and very well presented. We went back to our hotels and of course the gym was closed due to past hurricane complications, but they were giving out one free pass for one day to go to planet fitness, at this point it was almost 12am, but you gotta do what you got to do, so I ended up getting a good lift in at 12:04 in the morning.

What did you do last weekend? What was good or bad about it?

    My last weekend was not at all as exciting as yours was. I went to see a movie with my friends, it wasn't horrible, the food was great. I did a whole bunch of homework and ACT work, and played a little basketball. That was pretty much my whole weekend. I enjoyed it all, but if it was anything like going to New York I would've enjoyed it 10x more.

    Your weekend sounds very adventurous! My weekend wasn't nearly as great as yours. Most of the time I was studying due to the excessive amount of studying and homework I had. On Friday, we celebrated my moms birthday then, on Saturday I spent most of the day studying but then, at night, I went to babysit. On Sunday, I went out for brunch with a friend and later in the day went out for dinner with friends. Overall, my weekend was good but, I would've much preferred to spend it in New York.

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...
