This Blog Post was made in a Rush

     I wrote this blog post in a rush. Not in 30 minutes, or even 20 minutes. I actually wrote it in 10 minutes. I don’t know why, but today, I am simply in the mood of speeding through this blog. It is Tuesday as I am writing this, and I have two tests on Thursday along with a ton of work in all my other classes. Is it my fault that I just now remembered to do this blog? Yes. Am I going to do all I can to speed through the blog, though? Absolutely.

     Something that I have noticed over time when it comes to tests and quizzes is that there is no point in stressing out. I used to let the announcement of a test ruin my day, and even the entire week on some occasions. If you think about it, there truly is no point in stressing about things that are guaranteed to happen. Obviously, it is human nature to stress out, but it definitely is possible to be more mindful when thinking about things you have to do.

     Think about it. You are going to be taking that test no matter what. You can worry and stress out about the test all you want, but it doesn’t change the imminent fact that you are going to take the test, and you are going to get the score you are going to get. The most you can ask of yourself is to prepare enough and to try your hardest. Everything else is out of your control.

     The same thing applies to work. I never stress about my workload at school anymore. Is this because I have just gotten used to the constant insane workload of high school? Partially. However, I have also noticed that no matter what, I am going to have to do the work at some point, so the best thing to do is to start early and to do the best you can do.

     I know this blog post was all over the place, but that is because I only gave myself 10 minutes. Next week, I promise that my blog will be better.


How do you handle stress at school/work? Do you have any tips for your fellow readers?

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...
