so a few things.
you can certainly keep inquiring about lab jobs. if no one replies, then try again in a month or two.
I don’t think any freshmen should feel pressured to drink. I’m older, but still <21, and I would not drink at a party for that reason. I do drink sometimes, but in ridiculously secure situations, like having a beer when I’m in my parents’ house watching TV. (I really like quality beer, and plan to be a connoisseur of weird beers in a few months. :D) so - I am not going to call rlaehgund a dork when my personal policy is so conservative.
last year I would sleep till 1 PM some Saturdays, even though I hadn’t been partying. I was just exhausted from staying up too late during the week. it’s not a good way to be, and I am seriously hoping to avoid that this year.

I am not a hugely social person though so I always feel bad making these recommendations. I have met a few people at Cornell who I would call my friends, not just acquaintances, but I don’t have a coherent circle of friends who I do a lot of stuff with.

edit: I definitely knew oldfort was a mother.
