Noah Bard - Week 4: I love Florida!

     Florida is the best state in the United States. Thinking into the future, I really can’t see myself living anywhere else. From the beaches to the restaurants, all the way to the incredible sunsets, nothing beats Florida.
     The beaches in Florida are unbeatable. The clear skies, sunny weather, white sand, and crystal clear waters give me a sense of euphoria when looking into the water. Everywhere else I have ever gone to in the world that has beaches cannot compare. Florida’s beaches are also endless - literally, the entire state is surrounded by them!
     We Floridians are spoiled when it comes to food. We have some of the most culturally diverse restaurants down here, and they taste as good as they look. Though they are pricey sometimes, these restaurants are no joke. I love steakhouses, especially, and down here, there is no shortage of them.
     Let’s talk about Florida’s sunsets. Can we just take a moment to appreciate how incredible they are? The colors in the sky are just incredible and are enough to brighten up the night in a crazy way. The pink colors are unique, and the fact that we can get these all year round is incredible.
     Those are just the things on the outside. Florida also has no state income tax, incredible boating, a lot of Jews, and beautiful cities. Florida truly has it all, and I am so glad to live in a place that many people come to on vacation. I am never leaving this state!

    I have lived in California for a few years of my life and although it wasn't for a long time I still try my best not to associate myself with Florida. Personally, I don't like Florida. I do not love the weather. We do not get to experience any real seasonal changes like many other states. I wish that I would be able to see the leaves turn colors, experience a snowy morning, or just not 100 degrees in Summer.

      I understand where you are coming from as I also lived in California, but I think both states definitely have their pros and whenever someone asks me which I like better I answer by saying it's like comparing apples and oranges. Florida is completely different from California and they both have their own unique charm. But then at the same time when someone asks me where I live I answer with Florida but quickly say "BUT I USED TO LIVE IN SAN FRANCISCO", so they don't make any quick judgements of me ... hahaha

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...
