Suggest watching the This is Cornell video, which was beautifully done by 2 graduating seniors. Maybe someone can post a link here?

This Is video link. This Is on Vimeo. Wonderful production.

Also worth reading is Big Red Ambition: 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do | The Cornell Daily Sun. A lot of these require additional explanation, but it is a fun list.

Are you presently a student at Cornell or prospective?

I had front row seats to hear the former President of Chile speak a few weeks ago. The former Google CEO is coming tomorrow, but I'm going to go see Charles Blow instead.

1. Apple fest, anyone? It's coming soon in Ithaca commons! Hot cider and apple doughnuts... ah, yes.
2. Impromptu jam sessions: playing a tune with anyone nearby with a musical instrument (singers count!). Frequent songs include tunes from Disney movies, video games, musicals, and movies.
3. Guest lectures. Stimulating your mind, even if I really really disagree with what these "professionals" say about politics, the conomy, and other social issues. Because I like to entertain the thought that I could be wrong. I usually don't change my mind, but I never regret attending them.
4. Clubs/organization! It's so much fun and everyone's making new friends. It's not like I'm in them because I have free time, but I wouldn't give up any of these for more sleep.

Wonderful Homecoming weekend, with a big football win over Yale, and a great concert by Avicii!

I had lunch at President Skorton's house today and then saw Larry Bartels lecture on unequal democracy later on in the afternoon.
