Lindsey Maschler week 15: College

 Lately, I have been having more and more discussions about college and my future. I have absolutely no idea where I want to go or what I want to do for the rest of my life, and it is hard for me to make decisions in general. So having to make a decision about important things at such a young age that will affect the rest of my life is scary. 

During freshman year, my mom hired a college counselor since my old school did not have a good college program. She has been asking me to meet with her once every couple of months, and lately, she has been asking to meet more often to talk about my college list. I keep pushing it back since I have no idea where I want to go, and putting together a list will mean that I have made more decisions about it. 

I have been a lot busier this semester rather than last semester, through more school work plus after-school activities, and right now the last thing I want to think about is my future. But the more I put it off means that I will have less time to think about where to go, which is good, but bad at the same time. The less time I have to think about it is good since I will not stress myself out so much, but at the same time, making important decisions under pressure is very hard for me. Do you know where you want to go?

    I totally agree! Choosing where we want to go for college is so stressful and scary. I think it's crazy that we are expected to make a life changing decision like this when we are only 17. I honestly have no clue where I want to go to school. There are too many options and it's so stressful.

    Since I have older siblings, my family has been through the stressful college applications twice already. I have an idea of where I want to go since I hear my family talk about each college and the benefits to each one. Since I am the third child, my mom does not want to deal with helping me in my college applications too much so I work on it with a counselor.

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...
