It has been quite a crazy week. As everyone ran outside to enjoy the unnaturally warm weather or celebrate the election’s results, I preferred to stay in the comfort of my room and make art on Microsoft Excel with other Rose Scholars. In my small group we candidly talked about ourselves, Thanksgiving, the election, and anything in between. We quickly recreated an abstract image of Cornell’s Vet School spent most of the time relishing in the positive vibes of the day. Unlike any other event, I felt like I really connected with other Cornellians and a sense of community that I think everyone has been deprived of this academic semester. It may be only today, but I had a lot of fun being able to let loose, forget about my worries, and make something on one of the most emotionally charged days of the year.
