Dina Bengelsdorf Week 8 - My Favorite Foods This Week

 My Favorite Foods of the Week


Instead of writing about stressful or serious topics, I decided to go with something a little more light hearted for this week’s blog. Lately I have been enjoying some random assortment of foods that I’d be happy to eat at any and all times of the day. Here they are, and I’ll explain why:


  1. Acai bowls

A treat since middle school, acai bowls have always been special to me. I love Playa Bowls - I always have - and just recently I learned that one would be coming to West Boca within the next few months. The mix of granola, honey, and fresh strawberries and blueberries always put me in a great mood. They taste like summer, in my opinion. The only downside is that they have a significantly high quantity of sugar, but I don’t eat them on a daily basis. Either way, this is one of my favorite treats of all time. I usually prefer it over ice cream, which says a lot. 


  1. Crunch bars

I used to love Crunch bars, until one day I just stopped seeing them. I assumed they were discontinued, or maybe they became less popular in stores. It wasn’t until volleyball season that I approached the vending machine and saw a Crunch bar! Something about the crispiness and crunchy texture is something that makes this candy bar something that I will always look forward to. It is my go to candy after a long day of school. 


  1. Tropical fruit bowls

Upon looking over this list, I realize that I am a summer girl at heart. Summer brings me so much joy; the beach, the sun, tropical fruit, and so on. I have recently grown to enjoy strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries, but also mangoes and kiwi, among other fruits. Thinking of these fruits on a platter, maybe with watermelon slices and an ice cold water on the side, reminds me of a time with no homework, no school, and no stress.


There are probably more foods that I am not thinking of, but these three foods (or assortment of foods) sounds so enjoyable as I write this. What are your favorite foods right now? Do they change as often as mine?

    My favorite foods right now are feta cheese, hot sauce, and honey (not specifically in that combination). I love trying to come up with new flavor combinations when I cook, and this process much easier when you consider the way condiments and garnishes like cheese can enhance the flavor of a dish. I've recently been putting feta and honey on a lot of my meal. I love the complex salty, creamy taste of the tart feta, paired with the sweet tangy floral flavor of the honey. These combinations also work with so many dishes, which I love.

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...
