My semester ended as it usually does: a triumphant all-nighter. Finishing my last paper and most of my packing at 4:50 a.m., I departed Ithaca just a few hours later to enjoy some downtime at home before I come back to Cornell. Being at home and knowing I’m heading out soon is a very weird [...]

Ever reach the end of something and vividly remember how you imagined it would be in the beginning? Somewhere between pages five and six of this massive take-home final I am writing today, I had a flashback to the first day of my Spring ’10 semester, being fresh-faced and eager to learn in my Supreme [...]

ILR Day is a late April tradition, in which our Student Government Association debuts that year’s ILR T-shirts. But spending most of my recent days and nights in Ives Hall has made this feel much more like ILR Week. First, the fun part: this year’s shirts are inspired. We usually go for a subtle ILR-themed double [...]

This Thursday, author, activist, Holocaust survivor, and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel spoke to a sold-out crowd in Bailey Hall. The line outside of Bailey started forming long before the doors opened, so I owe a major shout-out to my friend Kyle for securing such excellent seats! It was amazing to see so much of the [...]

One learns pretty quickly that the New York City’s influence on Cornell is very strong. With a little under 50% of our undergrads coming from New York, historic ties to the state, a campus in midtown Manhattan, and many faculty from the tri-state area, it’s easy to think that this place is a tiny little [...]

Imagine walking down Ho Plaza after discussion section for your Supreme Court class while having a pretty high-brow conversation about Brown v. Board of Education. And all of the sudden, you see a llama in the middle of your campus. A llama! In the presence of an adorable pack animal, those intelligent insights turn to squeals [...]

My sincerest apologies for not writing an update in such a long time! What can I say, my life on the hill sometimes interferes with Life on the Hill. There was Spring Break, the collective jubilation that happens when it stops snowing here, and papers. So many papers. But I’m very glad that all of the [...]

It’s pretty easy to tell when one’s ordinarily polished friends are in the middle of midterms. My stylish friend lamented on Facebook today that she’s “slumming in Olin wearing sweatpants.” I’m no exception: I took my midterm tonight in baggy jeans and old band T-shirt. Styling my hair or putting in contacts was way too [...]

Ithaca’s beautiful State Theatre is one of those best-kept secrets that you could spend your entire time at Cornell never seeing. Thankfully, I was introduced to it last year, when my friends in Keeton House hooked me up with free tickets to the Blind Boys of Alabama and Preservation Hall Jazz Band (Side note: just [...]
