Coincidentally, the day of our tour, I was contemplating how the food was transported to our kitchen. The last thing I had in mind was an underground food tunnel that spans all the buildings. In fact, I started to realize other subconscious thoughts about the workings of Cornell’s layout that I never thought I’d get answers to. The memorial space now sticks out as way more memorable to me since I’ve learned how deeply thought about these spaces were created. I have definitely gained more pride for my school after learning about the intricate methods put into work around our campus that we don’t often initially notice.

Russian Olympic Rights
Despite the controversy about the Russian Olympians being accused of doping, I personally find it just as unified for the non-accused athletes to compete under a blank flag. With the Olympic symbol shown and the athletes in white, it is almost as if a reminder that they are citizens of the world and not just one country. Although the court has overturned the life-time decision against 28 of the athletes (and 15 who did try to compete after the overturning did not get to), I hope that they are able to still feel the pride that the others competing experienced for their country. I am very excited for the games and know they will do well as individual athletes and citizens of the world, regardless of the name on the flag.
