Around the Horn

Under a pleasant April sunset, the Class of 2009 kicked off their Senior Class celebration with a reception at the Johnson Museum.  A group of 600 Seniors gathered in the lobby for some catching up, hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and open access to the museum exhibits.  However, no Senior Sendoff is complete without a champagne toast–not [...]

In my last week as a full-time college student, I’ve wandered around Memory Lane a little too long.  Blame it on the holiday season, where everyone turns into a lovey-dovey nostalgic sap.  I spent all of Black Friday sprawled on a couch watching “Family Man” and “Sleepless in Seattle”; what did you do? All kidding [...]

Kappa Delta held its Date Night at the Johnson Museum, one of my favorite spots on campus.  This is a great way for our sorority to explore Cornell instead of just having a social schedule consisting of formals and crush parties off campus.  And unlike last year, where we had the 6th floor conference room [...]

Everyone who is majoring in a business/economics-related field is participating in the rat race to score a summer internship at an investment bank in New York City. Cornell’s Career Services Center is in charge of on-campus recruiting, organizing resume drops and interview schedules for investment banks. My goal was to get one offer for the [...]

Got this in the mail the other day… My favorite magazine, hands down, is Vanity Fair. Maybe not the most reliable source on world news, but this is definitely much better than the National Enquirer or Star. To give it credit, Vanity Fair does have some interesting articles that cover a wide spectrum of topics. [...]

While getting ready for class last week, I passed by Sarah’s room to find her in full power suit and heels mode, getting ready for an on-campus interview. Big-time companies always come this time of year to kick off their full-time recruitment process, and scores of seniors have been steaming their nicest suits, polishing their [...]

Finals came and went: Econ was a DOOZIE, that pretty much sums up the most eventful part of Finals. Sprints came and went: Got some silver hardware, the race was one of the best (and closest) I have ever coxed. Boys came and went too: See following entry. I’m back home in California. Still jobless, [...]

When I told my coach Chris that I had to miss Saturday practice for a sorority conference, all she asked was, “did you remember to pack your ribbons and pearls?” On Friday, I woke up at the crack of dawn along with my Kappa Delta sisters Courtney and Beth to drive to Syracuse and head [...]

There are many things to look forward to when you’re on an athletics team. Cool uniforms/gear, awesome teammates, state-of-the-art facilities, and of course, the annual phone-a-thon. The annual phone-a-thon is one of the main resources of income for all three teams (Men’s Heavyweight, Lightweight, and Women’s). Monday was the Rowing Teams’ chance to shine. The [...]

*As a precursor to the first comment by Lisa* Actually a pretty funny story, albeit VERY embarrassing on my part. Me: (after being asked if attending the Shimon Peres event) “Oh, definitely.” Lisa: “Okay, great.” Me: “By the way, what type of music does he play?” Lisa: “Uhm…he’s the former Israeli Prime Minister.” Me: “Oh…well [...]
