Adi Chaham week 8: Sunrise vs Sunset: The Ultimate Debate

    As I laid in my bed, staring out the window hoping to find inspiration, I wondered “what should I be writing about for my next blog post”. And Boom! As I saw the sky turning colors, getting pink with yellow, I thought of how beautiful nature was and how I had the perfect blog post idea. 

For the longest time I didn’t understand the hype with sunsets or sunrises. I would see people’s snap stories of them at sunset and I remember getting annoyed saying “if I see one more sunset, I’m gonna block them”. My sister also used to wake up early to see the sunrise and I never understood why. Until I started to see the beauty in nature. 

I’m not a nature type of gal. Never have been and don’t believe I ever will.  I don’t like sand, dirt, I'm not a fan of hiking (although my parents love it so I got used to it) and I especially don't like camping. I’m more of an inside hotel and go outside on a walk if it's a nice day type of girl. 

I’m gonna be honest with you, I don’t exactly remember when I started to enjoy and see the true beauty of nature but I think it was sometime before Corona when we went to Vancouver and the Rocky Mountains. I remember being obsessed with the fact that you could see the clouds and they were so close to you that it felt like we were in the clouds. 

Back to the main idea of the blog post. Once I started seeing nature for the beauty that it really was, I started wanting to go to the sunset and sunrise but after going to both many times, I have ultimately decided that overall, I like the sunrise better. Yes, you have to wake up earlier but, it’s at the beach and in my opinion, is most of the time prettier. Then, after watching it, I have an entire day because I woke up so early. However, the sunset is ultimately more convenient: It’s at a more reasonable time, and like a 10 minute drive from my house, by the lake and is still very pretty. 

At the end of the day though, it all depends on the day you go and see the sunset/sunrise. 

Which do you guys like better? Or do you not really care enough?

    I love star gazing the most. If it is between sunrise and sunset, I think I would have to go with sunrise. I love the sunrise because of how beautiful all of the colors are in the sky and how calm the world is. I love the sunset too, but less because of the sunset itself, and more because it means that the stars would be out soon after.

    I was thinking of the Fiddler on the Roof song "Sunrise Sunset" as I opened your post. I usually don’t go out in nature because I get allergies in forests, and I never manage to have time to go to the beach as much as I’d like, but I agree with you that sunrises are better. Sunrises are like new beginnings and I feel they’re more spiritual. Every morning, we thank G-d for waking us up, and the sun is what wakes us up in the morning. There is so much beauty that goes unnoticed.

    I honestly love both equally. Both of them are just so incredible to look at, and I feel so lucky to live in Florida where seeing beautiful sunrises and sunsets are the norm.

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...
