Liam Meldung, Week 22 - Can't Wait for Summer

        I am so excited, we are this close to summer vacation, and so close to being done with all our AP exams and our hectic Junior year. Of course it’s going to be very sad to have to be done with AP chem and never have Mrs. Leibowitz as a teacher again, and it will be very sad to never have AP Lang again, but everything has to end sometime and we all came out of it smarter and more prepared for future endeavors. 

        Summer is going to be crazy fun, I can’t wait. I know a lot of you might not care what I’m doing this summer, but I don’t care. I’m going on a west coast connection trip to Spain. It’s a college enrichment program where I will be spending three weeks in a university in Barcelona, Spain, studying Spanish and business. That’s not all I’m doing though. I will also be touring Barcelona and enjoying the wonderful city. Seeing art and architecture, as well as having a somewhat real college experience before the actual thing. It’s going to be great. 

        This summer I’m also going to New York for a little bit, my sister has a basketball camp, while my family and I will be doing a whole bunch of college touring. NYU and Syracuse, here I come. We are also planning on enjoying New York as a fun trip to experience the city and everything that makes New York, New York. 

        My younger sister’s Bat Mitzvah is this year and so we are also planning on a fun trip to San Diego. My other sister, Mia, is also doing the Maccabiah there as well, but after that we are really doing a fun trip.

        I think we’re doing all this because since Covid started we haven’t travelled much, we only went to Kentucky for more basketball, which was not so fun. So we’re now making up for lost time.

        What are you doing for your summer vacation?

    Those summer vacation plans sound amazing! I'm glad that you are able to make up for all the last vacations over the last couple of years. I've noticed that many people are making their up their vacations as well though, so a lot of vacation spots are unfortunately very crowded right now. Personally, I am working at my camp again, and then going to Los Angeles and San Diego at the end of the summer.

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...
