Michael Hakim Week 6 - Broken Letter "I" Key

     I am so frustrated right now. I can’t deal with this anymore! The “I” key on my computer is stuck and has been jammed for the past month or so. It has gone on and off in severity; sometimes I am able to type fine, and other times, it doesn’t work at all! As I’m typing this, I’m having to spam the “I” key really hard every time I want to press it, and man, is it infuriating!

     Sometimes I think to myself how much I’d rather another key be broken than this one. It is absolutely infuriating to type like this. Why did it have to be the “I” key? Why couldn’t it have been the “x” key or the “Q” key? Literally, the “I” key is one of my most used keys and it sucks having to struggle every time I want to type. I guess this just comes with having a 2017 Macbook!

     I absolutely love and hate this Macbook. In terms of being a computer, I wouldn’t ever want another computer. However, the worst part of the computer is easily the keyboard, with this specific model (Macbook Pro 15” Late 2017) being known for having issues with the keys. Though Apple has now fixed this issue by completely redoing the keyboard on their newest laptops, it doesn’t help that this multi-thousand dollar machine has left me stuck with these issues. UGH! That last part was so infuriating to type!

     I honestly can’t believe that I have ranted about a key on my keyboard for this long today, but I wouldn't wish this pain upon anyone. If you were in my position, I guarantee you that you would feel the same way! 


What is an annoyance in your life? What do you do to fix it?

    An annoyance in my life is if I can’t figure out a certain situation. For instance, the other day, I couldn’t figure out how to change the ice filter for my fridge. To solve this issue that I had been trying to figure out for 5 minutes, I called my brother since he literally knows how to do everything around the house. Due to my 5 second call with my brother, th problem was solved!

    Wow! I cant believe someone can write so much about their frustration with their keyboard. I had a similar issue although my frustration was from my Macbooks screen. I dropped my Mac on the floor from my bed and when I picked it up, part of the screen was blacked out. This was a good excuse to buy a new computer because of how slow it was.

    I am someone who has no patience for situations like this one, so I understand your frustration. The WiFi in my house used to be really slow and it would drive me crazy. When these sorts of things happen, it just feels like I don't have the energy or time to deal with them on top of other stressful life events.

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...
