Michael Hakim Week 2 - Why am I So Tired?

      I don’t know what it is, but I have been exhausted recently. Every day after school since break has ended I have taken a nap in my bed. Though these after-school naps hit differently sometimes, it is annoying in a way, as whenever I nap, I can’t fall asleep that night. This then leads to a chain reaction, which ends up resulting in me getting less sleep, and being late to school because I was so tired. This lack of sleep makes me want to sleep again the next day, and the cycle repeats itself.

     Every day in school I have to fight with myself to prevent myself from falling asleep. The second I sit in a class, I immediately think about resting my head on my desk and getting in a quick power nap. However, I obviously can’t do this, because I have to pay attention in class, but sometimes, I really wish I could.

     The hardest thing for me lately has been waking up for school. Ever since I have moved houses, I have been late almost every day. Now that I live a bit farther from school, I am required to wake up even earlier than normal. Every morning, my dad comes into my room to wake me up at around 6:30. This doesn’t really do much, though, as I usually struggle to get out of bed at this point. I end up normally getting up around 10 minutes before leaving for school, skipping breakfast in order to make sure I get myself in at least some sort of a good state for school. I know this is normal teenager stuff, but it is still annoying regardless.

     Is it the cold weather? Maybe. Is it the insane amount of work I’ve been getting? Who knows? All I know, though, is that I’ve been really really sleepy.


Have you also been feeling tired lately? What have you done in order to combat this?

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...
