Rosalie Weiss- Week 5- Why I Love Fall

 



Fall, otherwise known as autumn, is the season between summer and winter, beginning in late September and ending in late December. It is the time when the temperature decreases and the leaves change color and begin to fall. It is also my favorite season.

In South Florida, where the leaves don't change color, the only way to tell when fall has begun, aside from looking at a calendar, is when you feel that difference in the atmosphere. The air becomes cold and has a distinct, familiar smell. This cooling of the temperature also marks the shifting of time, as, to me, fall symbolizes a new beginning, marking both the start of a new school year and a new Jewish year. 

Along with Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, fall has arguably the best holidays of any season, the most notable being Halloween. Whether trick or treating, dressing up, carving pumpkins, eating candy, watching scary movies, or experiencing the spooky vibes, Halloween has something for everyone to enjoy. Another great fall holiday is Thanksgiving, where we set aside time to be thankful, visit with family and friends, and enjoy a delicious meal.

Another thing I love about fall is its warm and cozy vibes. Something about fall makes me want to go on walks, drink tea, read books, watch Gilmore Girls, listen to Folklore and Evermore, paint, light a candle, or just sit outside and enjoy nature. Fall is also great for fashion, as the weather is perfect for scarves, flannels, sweaters, and cardigans, some of my favorite articles of clothing. 

While I enjoy and appreciate the other seasons, fall is hands down my favorite. What do you think? What is your favorite season?

    While I'm definitely a summer person I do love the Florida fall. In New York I loved the scenery but I did not like the 50 degree weather. I love the low 70s here, as it is my favorite temperature, and the breeze along with the holidays during this time of year makes this season really enjoyable.

    I agree, the fall is a good season. I think it has the best holidays, and that first time of the year where stepping outside isn't like a heatwave is so nice. For me though, my favorite season is the winter because of the cold temperatures. However, this is likely due to being cold-deprived in Florida, and if I moved north, my opinion would probably change.

    I used to love fall when I lived in Chicago because I was able to wear hoodies and sweatpants without being too cold or too hot, but now that I live in Florida fall kind of lost that special "hoodie season" that came with the season. Now I think I like the winter in Florida the most because it bring the hoodie weather with it.

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...
