Michael Hakim Week 10 - Read This if you are Doubting Yourself


     Today’s blog is going to be a bit different. As you can tell by the title, this blog goes out to anyone doubting themselves. If you are currently doubting yourself, I want to first let you know that this is something that is perfectly normal, and something that many, including myself, struggles with at times. However, I want you to know that you are capable of so, so much more than you may think.

     Look at some of the most successful people in the world. Many of them came from nothing, and many of them probably felt like you are right now. However, the thing that separates them from everyone else is that they showed and continue to show perseverance, grit, and determination. These qualities are what separate the best from the worst, and the people that are successful from those who aren’t as successful.

     Listen to me, I know it may be hard sometimes to get motivated, but just know that is possible to achieve ANYTHING you put your mind to. Whatever goal you have in mind right now, I just want you to know that you can do it. You are powerful enough inside and out to commit to whatever you want to accomplish, and to make it happen. You may not get what you want at first, and that’s okay. If you really want it, this won’t bother you. Instead, it will make you push harder.

     You are strong and capable. I believe in you. Go out there and go accomplish your goals. I don’t care how long it takes you, just do it. The mind is a powerful thing. If you train yourself to think in this way, it will impact your life for the better. Remember, if you feel like giving up, remember why you started.


How do you stay motivated? Any advice for those struggling with this?

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...
