Week 8- My taste in Music

 Week 8- My Taste in Music


A lot of my friends think I have bad taste in music, because over the years my playlists have included Frank Sinatra, musical theater music, and obscure Israeli music. Because of this, people, especially my friends, box me into this category where I can only like certain types of music, and anything modern or new is something I wouldn’t like. It’s something that I resent because I actually like many different types of music, and am always looking for something new. What usually happens to me is that I start listening to a new playlist over and over again, until I can’t stand listening to it. It’s like wringing out a cloth full of juice to squeeze out the last of it. Afterwards, I can’t stand to listen to my music, and I need something new. 

Luckily, my friends have really diverse taste in music, and I’m able to hear new stuff from them. It’s also been really surprising to me to find out that I can also enjoy listening to rock music, and even rap music. Having my musical taste change so much over the years has taught me that people change a lot, and music that I once thought was just empty noise can be really intricate and can tell a story. I feel very privileged to be able to listen to a lot of different types of music. How has your taste in music changed over the years?

    Ben, I want you to know that there is nothing wrong with a little Frank Sinatra. I actually have a whole playlist dedicated to him! For me, I went from listening to pop to rap, and now I'm a full on hip-hop-head. It's escalated so far that I now make my own rap beats, as I'm sure you've heard consider how I'm always blasting them!

    I used to only listen to rap, but now I actually switch between rap and Frank Sinatra. I usually listen to Frank Sinatra on the way to school in the morning.

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...
