Michael Hakim Week 4 - Going Out for Lunch

      Going out for lunch is something that I really enjoy at school. To me, it is very important that I have a break from school for me to be able to focus in class. My case of Senioritis is at an all-time high, and I often have trouble focusing during class as there is always so much on my mind. This lunch break is enough to get me back on track throughout the day so that I can focus on my classes later in the day. Though my wallet has been suffering a bit due to the heavy inflation of prices nowadays, it is completely worth it, as I don’t know how I would be able to focus without this.

     During lunch, I like to go to many places, but my go-to's have been Dunkin’ Donuts, Subway, Bolay, Einstein, and of course, Starbucks (my favorite!). Whenever I go to these places with my friends it is such a nice break from the reality of school. It is always so calming and grounding to be able to catch up with friends while enjoying my favorite foods.

     I am so thankful that Donna Klein gives seniors the privilege of doing this. To me, it is one of the very best things about our school. I honestly don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t go out for lunch. I struggle with staying in the same place all the time, and going out for lunch is a great way to cure this feeling!

Do you prefer to go out for lunch or stay at school? What are your go-to places to eat at?

    I tend to stay at school for lunch, but I completely agree that lunch is a great time to catch a break and relax for a bit. I would like to go out more, but I wouldn't want to spend too much money and I fully well know that I would be tempted to miss the rest of the day.

    I usually stay at lunch for school because there are so many clubs during lunch, and it saves me more money, but when I do go out my favorite places to go are Olive U and Just Salad.

Dina Bengelsdorf Week 10 - Things I Love to Do

Image
Things I Love to Do For my last blog (potentially), I thought it would be best to discuss things that make me the happiest. I feel that I have definitely talked about these subjects in one way or another because they are so important to me, but here I want to dedicate a post just to them. During school it is very hard to keep up with your physical and mental wellbeing, and therefore, doing things that keep us grounded are beyond helpful when things can become overwhelming. I have been working to stay active my entire life. I love riding my bike, going to the gym, and taking walks on or by the beach. Staying active is staying healthy and affects my everyday performance.  I feel that every exercise I do is a way for me to release my stress. Every bike ride is a way to absorb nature. Every walk on the beach is a way to clear my mind and to take a deep breath. Doing these things after school or on the weekends has proven to help me in my academic life. I come to school feeling refreshe...

Adi Chaham week 10: Naps

Image
       I dislike naps. I find that most people enjoy taking naps but there are very few that don’t, and I am one of those people.  I can’t explain it, but naps just ruin my entire day and I find sleeping at night to be much more beneficial than falling asleep after school.  Let me try to explain using the most simple scenario. You just had a long day at school so you come home. Instead of doing your homework or doing whatever you usually do after school, you fall asleep. An hour to two passes and it's now 6pm. Now, this is the part that bothers me the most. Maybe it just happens to me but you wake up all confused as to what time it is and bam, the rest of your day gets messed up. Then, I don’t have the energy to do my homework but I'm not tired enough to go to sleep.  That’s it! That’s the beauty of naps that I dislike. It's not much yet it's so much. However, as much as I dislike them, I could argue for the other side. I understand th...

Ben Nikpour- Week 2: The Infamous Common App Essay

Image
     The common app essay is stressful, to say the least. This 650-word essay has a huge impact on our college admissions; an excellent essay can be the one thing that gets you into your dream school, while a bad essay will do the opposite. Knowing this, I spent a lot of time strategically preparing and thinking about what I was going to write about. I started planning out my essay towards the end of last school year and already had a solid start on it before the summer. At first, I had no clue what I was going to write. I had no idea where to start, and I felt that I had nothing interesting to talk about. I constantly freaked out at my parents, saying I couldn’t think of anything, and I wasn’t going to get into a school.           After calming down, I started by listing every major event or aspect of my life. Still, nothing stood out to me as a great topic, so I continued to write more things down and write notes on each topic. This allowed...
