Leah Nagle - Week 8 - I’m Excited for Winter Break

It’s strange how the semester feels like it’s dragged on forever, but at the same time, I can’t believe we have less than six weeks until winter break! I have been talking non-stop about how excited I am to have a good break from school. I’m sure every senior feels the same way. 


In my opinion, winter break can surprisingly be more fun than summer. I love winter break because it's a good amount of time off school, without being too long. In summer, Florida is just way too hot, but during winter break, the temperature is perfect, it’s not too cold and it’s not too hot. I love how I can still go to the beach in December! 


Another reason I love winter break is because of the exciting Christmas vibes. Although I don’t celebrate Christmas (obviously), I still appreciate the colorful holiday lights displayed in public places, catchy Christmas songs, Christmas movies, and holiday sales in all my favorite stores. 


I’m looking forward to spending time with my friends and family, going shopping, having some relaxing self-care days, getting my hair and nails done, and watching some of my favorite classic movies and tv shows. I am also excited because my family was planning to just stay in Boca over winter break, but now we have decided to go on vacation. We’re going to Orlando for a few days, and the best part is that we are staying in a hotel with a water park in it! I can’t wait to explore Orlando and enjoy relaxing at the hotel. 


Are you as excited as me for winter break? What are your winter break plans?

    I'm also really looking forward to winter break. The break will be my first time going to Israel since 8th grade. COVID ruined my family's plan to have me and my brother get bar mitzvahed at the Kotel. Now, at 17, I feel as if I'm too old to do so. Israel is my favorite place to be- the food, the music, the people. It feels like my home. Can't wait til the break!

    I can't wait for Winter Break to start. School-related pressures will go away, and I will have a restful and stress-free two weeks. This winter I will be going on a family road trip to a cabin in Georgia. I have traveled northward for Winter Break for five years now, and somehow manage to miss seeing snow each time, so I hope this year I get lucky enough to experience 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...
