Hannah Shinder: Week 8- The Obsession With Wordle

    Right now, everyone seems to be hooked on playing wordle. There is not only one type of wordle,  but many other social media users have created more and more replication with different ideas. For example, there is the jewdle which consists of different Jewish words, sayings, or actions. Whoever discovered and came up with the idea of wordle is literally so smart. I feel as if wordle is not only entertaining but also a type of education game. It gets the brain moving!

    When I first heard about wordle, I said to myself “how stupid is this”. Little did I know that it is literally addicting. I can’t go a day without playing wordle. However, I get so frustrated when I cannot figure out what the word for that day is. I usually get it on the 4th try, but when I don’t get it all that day, I am so annoyed and frustrated. It’s almost like wordle is taking over my life since my mood is affected by how quickly or if I can figure out the word for that day. 

    Also, don’t you hate when someone spoils something? Well, with wordle people don’t know how to control themselves and keep their mouths shut. It bothers me so much when someone says the word or will say certain letters and where they are placed. When that happens, I literally want to tell them to keep it to themselves. It's like they are spoiling one of the best things you love to do so it’s so annoying. 

Do you play wordle?

    I used to play wordle but now I think it's getting a little repetitive and boring. Also I got a new phone and with the new phone I lost all my old stats including my really long like month streak. So that put a damper on me wanting to play.

    I play wordle everyday and to be honest it is kind of crazy how this game has become such a common thing. Not only to kids and teens play it, but adults do it too. I totally agree with the spoiling point you made. I get so frustrated when somebody spoils the wordle for me because I lose the excitement of getting it right on my own.

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...
