Lindsey Maschler week 22: The Unknown

  The unknown is very scary, at least to me. Even just thinking about what next month is going to look like is scary, so trying to figure out what I want to do in the future and for the rest of my life is crazy and I can not wrap my head around it. I have a sense of what I want to do with my life, and I definitely know what I do not want to do in my life, but trying to figure out the exact details of it, like college and what I want to major in, is terrifying.

Being a second-semester Junior, college is always being brought up in my house. There is literally not a day that passes by that we do not talk about it, especially since I have a twin brother who is going through the exact same thing as me at the same time. The more that it is talked about, the more that it scares me. 

I also think about my parents, and how it will affect them. My mom is a stay at home mom, and does not have many hobbies, so when my brother and I leave the house at the same time, my mom will all of a sudden have a bunch of time on her hands that she most likely will not be able to fill, and I feel bad

The future is obviously not just college, it is the rest of your life. I do not think that I will be able to make a decision about the future at such a young age, and have the decision stick for years to come. 

Do you know what you want to do? Does the future scare you?

    I actually think that the unknown and the future are quite comforting. In a way I like to think about how nothing's set for me and all my actions actually do have consequences. I make my future, I can discover the unknown and learn about the world and all its facets in order to be rid of any "unknown".

    I have a couple ideas of what I want to do in life but it really depends on the day. I am less afraid of going to college and more afraid of the application process. I know that to will be a lot of work and am really not looking forward to it.

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...
