Lindsey Maschler Week 19: San Diego

  The other week I was in San Diego, California with my mom. My mom and I used to go on trips a lot before Covid started, so it was very nice to spend time with her in a place neither of us have been to. 

We went to the children’s pools in la Jolla, which was a spot where parents would take their kids since it was a section of the beach closed off in rocks. Over time, fewer kids started to occupy the beach, and harbor seals started to take over. So when we went, there were about fifty seals hanging out on the beach, and fifteen playing in the water, and they were absolutely adorable.

We also went to Sunset Cliffs, which was breathtaking, especially during the sunset. There was also a cave, and if you went during negative tide you were able to explore. Speaking of caves, we went to was Sunny Jim’s Sea Cave, which was a cave used to smuggle alcohol during the prohibition, which was also beautiful. There was also a baby sea lion in the cave, which is a rare sighting in this area. 

Of course, we also had to go to the San Diego Zoo, and Sea World. The zoo was really fun, and we got to see Polar Bears in person. At Sea World, we got to see walruses, which was really cool considering that there are only twelve in the United States. 

I am also going to San Diego in July, so both my mom and I are super excited to go back since we loved it so much.

Have you been to San Diego?

    I have been to San Diego before and have always had so much fun when I go. I wish I was in California the other week just like you, but hopefully, I will go soon since my mom loves to travel with me as well.

    This summer I am going to San Diego for the first time with my family. I don't think we were planning to do too much in San Diego besides the zoo because we are also spending time in Los Angeles, but many of the activities you went to look very exciting, so I might suggest to do them on my trip.

    I have never been to San Diego before, but after reading this I want to go now. It sounds really fun, and exciting. The cave sounds crazy cool. I'm definitely going to ask my parents if we could go sometime this summer or at least sometime soon.

    Sounds like so much fun! I have never been to San Diego before however, I have been to the California and Nevada area before and I love it over there. Next time we visit there, I will hopefully be able to go to San Diego and see the amazing and interesting places you mentioned.

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...
