Hannah Shinder- Week 4: Babysitting Is The Way To Go

    At our age, don’t you love when you can make some easy money? For me, I get a feeling of joy when I see money go into my bank account. I hear so many people talking about how they make money by betting, reselling products, and more. Recently I have found a new passion, as I have been doing such an easy job and making more money than ever. 

    As many of you may know from one of my blog posts this year, I used to have a once-a-week job as a coach for the organization Happy Feet. I used to wake up early on Saturday mornings and work from 9-12. I did 2 seasons of this which was equivalent to 14 weeks. Even though I did make good money, I wanted to be able to sleep in on Saturdays. I decided to not do Happy Feet anymore and instead make some easy money babysitting. This allowed me to be more comfortable instead of being in the blazing hot sun every Saturday morning, and do it whenever I felt or had time to. 

    I have babysat many different age groups of kids and have found that each is different in its own way. Some 5-year-olds are harder to babysit than a 2-year-old and so on and so forth. Even though some parents ask me what my rate is, I usually let them make the decision. Even with this decision, it has always been more than I was making at Happy Feet. If I am being completely honest, I don’t think it is even about how much money I make, and it is more about what I enjoy doing. Do you agree or disagree and why?

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...
