Trip to Lake George: A Summary

Trip to Lake George, NY

By Inaya Syed

Hey everyone! I just returned from Lake George. It was beautiful, and I think it was a much-needed vacation. This was all done during the past weekend, at the end of July.  So, if you are going, these are some suggestions for what to do.

1. Parasailing

Parasailing is basically when you have a boat and a parachute strapped to you to make sure you don't drift away. You are about six feet in the air away from the boat. 

2. Make Your own Candles

Luckily, Hidaya and I had the candle place in the Lake Motel. The company was named Wax n Wick. They offer many workshops to create your own custom candle. I'd definitely recommend this if you're the artsy type.

3. Explore the Town

Hidaya and I explored the town nearby our motel. It was very fun! There are a bunch of small businesses and a bunch of ice cream shops. 

4. Do the Pinnacle Hiking Trail

I'd recommend this for anyone who is very fit. The Pinnacle Trail is a very long and tedious hiking trail. It only works if you guys can go to the top of the mountain. If you can't walk very long, DON'T DO IT! Overall, very beautiful to see all the mountain ranges and the lake.

That's it! Hope you guys have fun with these activities and anything in the area of Lake George.

Henna

 Hello everyone, this was a paper I wrote for a class this semester and felt like it would fit on here. It's a pretty long one so take your time reading this! _____________________________________________________________________________________      Scrolling through TikTok, I watch as women, Black, White, East Asian, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and other races dye their hair with this paste called “Henna”. Wanting to know what people online think about the use of something from a region of cultures where everything is made fun of, I eagerly open the comments. The top comment says, “Looks like duck poop lol.” I sigh. This is my culture, as I am Pakistani and Muslim. And boy, has it been a rough 21 years being Pakistani and Muslim. I have had to fight for my right to exist growing up on Long Island, New York. One of these fights was related to henna, or as it is called in Urdu, the language of Pakistan; Bangla, the language of Bangladesh; Hindi, The language of Indi...

Summer Update: What I have done so far, my life, etc. By Inaya Syed  Hi Everyone, it has been a while since I last wrote on the blog, so forgive me for being a little rusty.  Statics and other summer classes: I would like to begin this post by saying that I did not pass statics from Stony Brook University. However, I enrolled in a statistics class at CUNY Queensborough Community College on July 8th, and I passed that class on August 8th!  That credit is now taken care of, but statics I have to take in the Fall semester Internships: I had been rejected from the internship, but I am not giving up! In my pursuit of an internship, there is a fellowship hosted by Brookhaven National Labs. I applied, and am eagerly waiting for a response for Fall. Trip to the Finger Lakes: From August 1st to August 3rd, our family took a trip to the Finger Lakes, also known as Geneva, NY. I made the itinerary, found the places, and went there. The places we went were: Sonnenberg Gardens and Man...

 My Bi-Monthly Update: Classes, Day in my Life Video, NASA SUITS competition, etc. By Inaya Syed Hello, everybody! Welcome to another edition of my bi-monthly update! I have a lot to share, so let's get right into it! Increase in Federal Work Study award     To start off, I wanted to share some good news! I received an increase in my federal work-study award. This means I have my job at the library until the end of the fiscal year. The total is $5,000.  Classes     So far, classes have been going well. I had just taken a Calculus III exam this Thursday. I think I will be alright in terms of grades and workload. So far, I am not entirely drowning in assignments.  Clubs     As for clubs, I decided to bring back the Society of Women Engineers to NYIT's Long Island Campus. I am starting the interviews soon. On top of this, the chess club is organizing a tournament on November 13th. Pull up if you are interested! On top of all this, I started...
