Ah shit here we go again

Hi all, does anyone have any contact for a good cleaner? Just need a deep clean for a bathroom

I’m looking to sublease my parking spot for the year on 705 east buffalo. Let me know if you’re interested.

Im trying to offload (sell) them, preferrably to cornellians. Ill offer cornell discounts.

Dm me if interested

had an interview at statler two weeks ago and got an offer last monday. haven't heard anything from workday since, and my first day is next week, and I need my schedule. wondering how long it is supposed to take or who I should email to try to move it through?

A freebie...

Frats, sports teams, and others will be throwing parties at their houses starting roughly Wednesday night. May even be a little action tomorrow night. May even be a thing tonight, but Monday Night O-Week is usually people just getting in to Ithaca.

There will be alcohol served. In cups, and in beer cans.

DO NOT WALK ONTO THE SIDEWALK OR STREET WITH AN OPEN BEER CAN OR CUP OF ALCOHOL

Ithaca Police and Cornell Police will be out. They will shut down all the parties early.

And they WILL be looking for the sucker(s) to charge on Open Alcohol Beverage counts.

If you get alcohol at a party, drink it and trash it there and there only. The back yard is safe. The front yard is safe(ish). The sidewalk IS NOT SAFE.

ALSO, IF YOU SEE SOMEONE WHO GOT THEMSELVES BLACKOUT DRUNK (gonna happen), HELP THEM.

Don't be afraid to call for an ambulence if someone is beyond black out drunk. You won't get in trouble. You'll be potentially saving a life.

Thank you for your attention to this matter,

How difficult is it to transfer from CALS to CoE at the end of freshman year? After considering career options this summer I am thinking a ECE major with an EnvE minor would be better for my long-term goals, but I've heard that transfers into CoE are risky. For context, I am currently an EnvE major admitted through CALS.

moving into my new apartment later this week and totally forgot to set up internet, anyone have any recs for getting internet on a yearly/monthly basis?

"Cornell University will institute a standardized Latin Honors system based solely on final cumulative undergraduate GPA. The Latin Honors categories include: Summa Cum Laude (top 5%), Magna Cum Laude (next 10%), and Cum Laude (next 15%)."

Purely out of curiosity does anybody know what these cutoffs are for A&S? I have no sense of the gpas for each school especially because everyone I talk to is in a different school

"The student's cumulative undergraduate GPA percentile at the time of degree conferral will be computed with respect to the student's particular college/school degree program (e.g., B.S. in CALS, B.A. in A&S, B.S. in ILR, B.F.A. in AAP)."

Traffic is steadily picking up. Volunteer squad is keeping things moving. Class of 2030 getting their first taste of Ithaca weather.

Kotlikoff was shaking hands outside Donlon. Lombardi is nowhere to be seen.

Hi everyone👋! I’m a 22-year-old Chinese student currently doing my graduate studies in Cornell University. Chinese is my native language, and I speak standard Mandarin.

I’m looking for someone who’s interested in a Chinese–English language exchange. I studied English mainly through reading back in China, so while I’m fairly comfortable with written English, my listening and speaking skills are still something I really want to improve. Since I recently came to the U.S., I’ve realized that keeping up with everyday conversations can be quite challenging sometimes😭

Meanwhile,I’d be more than happy to help you with Chinese! I can help with Mandarin pronunciation, everyday Chinese, conversation, or anything else you’d like to practice.

I also spent several years living and studying in Beijing during college, so I’m familiar with life in a big Chinese city. I’ve also traveled to many different parts of China, and I’d be happy to share my experiences, recommend places to visit, or talk about the differences between different regions of China. I’d also love to learn more about culture and everyday life from you!

Ideally, I’d love to find someone around my age who is patient and genuinely interested in language and cultural exchange. It would be great to meet up in person for coffee, a walk, or just casual conversation, but I’m also happy to do online exchanges.

If you’re interested, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself and what you’re hoping to get out of a language exchange. Looking forward to meeting someone! :)

Can't believe half a century has gone by since I first stepped foot on West Campus/U-Hall.

Looking at the picture of these young Cornellians, I can't help but recall what Russell Crowe said in the move playing John Nash: "The eager young minds of tomorrow". But the dark side of me whispers, "Just look at them again after the second prelim." ;)

Pet peeve: as a proud CAS alum, I am constantly dismayed by the CAS social media account. They post the most boring pictures.
