Avital Horowitz - Week 11 - The Final Blog

The final blog. Most students have been looking forward to this and if I'm going to be honest, most of the time, I was one of those students, especially this semester because of the current event blogs. Although, being a student who loves writing, I am a little sad to see this year-round assignment come to an end.

If I'm going to be 100% truthful, I had no idea what I was going to write about for this blog, so I took that as an opportunity to write a reflection on this weekly assignment. In my opinion, last semesters blogs were much more enjoyable to write, and that was due to the absence of the current event blogs. Personally, I absolutely love creative writing, so when I was told we had a weekly creative writing assignment I was excited. Unfortunately though, I really suck at journalism and things like writing articles. I just find it boring to write about current events. I like writing with my creative mind. I find it easier to use my own tone while writing creatively rather than writing based on facts. 

I would give the first semester blogging assignment five stars, because it provided good writing practice and it made us use our creative minds. If I had to rate the second semester blogging assignment, I would give it a two out of five stars because yes it allowed us to use our creative minds, but it was also just boring because the blogs started to become tedious and the current events just made writing each blog more of a chore rather than I fun year-round project.

What did you think about posting on blogger? Which semester did you like more?

    Personally, I enjoy both. I just really like the process of writing, it seems satisfying to me. While I don't really have a preference, I enjoy writing on current events and giving my own opinion on topics because I like the idea of debate.

    To me, creative writing is always more fun than writing about current events. As someone who is always thinking 24/7 writing is, in a sense, an outlet for me. Creative writing, and just being able to write down whatever is on my mind as opposed to having guidelines is always more fun for me. Overall, I did enjoy the blog projects a good amount.

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...
