As an RA on North Campus and an employee of Cornell Residential Programs (aka. RP for all of you Cornellians that are up on the lingo), I almost feel an obligation to write about this.
Recently, there’s been quite an uproar surrounding Ken Glover — the former Residence Hall Director (RHD) of Ujamaa on campus; after [...]
Now that I actually have time to sit back and muse on September 2009 gone-by (since this last round of prelims, cases, events, etc., were not friendly), I have to bring up Bo Burnham. A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine got me a ticket to go see the 19-year old (wtf!) comedian [...]
The recent H1N1 Swine Flu outbreak is giving a whole new meaning to the start-of-school jitters. I swear within the past few days, I must’ve gotten a solid 20 e-mails telling me to wash my hands, not to smooch sneezing people, etc. etc. (which by the way, I hope would go without saying), and the [...]
Ok: every once in a while I come across something that really ruffles my feathers. Most of the time it has to do with someone wearing something that looks really studid, a massive line at the Appel salad bar, or some dimwit letting their cell phone blast Beyonce in the middle of a class. But [...]
Well, well: welcome back to the hills of Ithaca! I’ve been looking forward to returning to my Cornell routine for some time now, and now that classes started a couple days ago, the fact that I’m a junior (and over halfway done with my college career…yikes!) has hit me like a punch in face. The [...]
Looking over my previous posts, I can’t believe that I haven’t talked more about being a Resident Advisor on North Campus; it takes up so much time and is such a big part of my Cornell life here in the Ithaca tundra, that I think it would be somewhat of a travesty if I didn’t [...]
Well, Evan got initiated a couple weeks ago: that’s right, I am now officially a member of The Delta Phi fraternity (Llenroc as all the current Cornellians call it), and life has never been better. The air seems fresher, food tastes yummier, and my stress-level has finally returned to managable state.
I wrote another post about [...]
I had my what I think was my last interview of the semester a couple days with Aramark for a summer internship position. From what I’ve heard about Aramark internships, the pay not be the best around (even though it’s not that bad), but you get to travel to different sites where management services are [...]
This semester — even though it’s a little bit more rare for a sophomore — I decided to start pledging a fraternity on campus. Delta Phi (commonly called Llenroc around Cornell) is a great organization with some really great guys. The one thing that amazed me about the frat was how involved all of the [...]
Okay, now it feels like Ithaca. It’s been hovering around -200 degrees for the past week now, and it’s even starting to take a toll on my body. I can never remember this happening to me before, but as soon as this mini-ice-age graced the Cornell campus, my face and hands have shriveled up into [...]
