Last week I had the pleasure of going ice skating with fellow Rose scholars! I was excited when I learned about this opportunity because I haven’t been as physically active as I would have liked this semester (besides walking up and down the slope).  I hadn’t gone ice skating in years, so stepping onto the ice was a bit tricky at first. However, after a couple minutes of warming up muscle memory kicked in and I was able to let go of the wall and have a good time with friends. I was with a friend who was visiting from UNC Chapel Hill and he was impressed by how many fun things there were to do on actual campus. I wasn’t aware that the skating rink had special nights were students could go ice skating so I took a note of that in case my friends and I are looking for something to do next semester. There are so many things that Cornell offers that students don’t know about and I have a feeling the ice rink would be even more packed if more people knew about it! Overall, I’m glad I went skating and got my mind off of the daunting thought of finals.
