Hello Cornellians! This past Friday, the first-ever "Lift Your Spirits" event was held. Several Cornell organizations sponsored this wonderful event: Cornell MINDS Foundation, Cornell Minds Matter, Student Assembly, CU [dis]connect, and the Class Councils. Due to rain (typical Ithaca weather machine for ya), the festivities were moved indoors to Williard Straight, yet th...

Hi again! Have you ever seen a cow? and no, it doesn't count if she makes up the background setting for your favorite TV show or wears a big smile on the label of your milk jug that you buy from the grocery store. In my opinion, they are beautiful creatures to behold. I invite you to visit your local farm especially in June (National Dairy Month). Each cow wears a unique p...

Hello from the cornfield! What's up this week? How 'bout some tunes 'bout... hmmm. It's semi complicated to explain this week's theme, but I will try. When someone says cow-- what is the first image that comes to mind? Do you picture a black & white demon twenty times larger than yourself cowering over you as you prepare yourself to get stepped on by its hoofs and face...

This past Friday, the Cornell MINDS Foundation, Cornell Minds Matter, Student Assembly, CU [dis]connect, and the Class Councils put on the first "Lift your Spirits" event. It rained (typical Ithaca for you), but that didn't dampen people's spirits too much. By the start of the event, a huge line of students could be seen snaking out of Williard Straight and spilling onto H...

Yo, turn it on, crank it up and floor it -- at 5 mph around the corn field! It's my vehicle of choice-- looking snazzy with a shiny new coat of red paint from a farmgirl's friend, Homer D. Poe. I shine it so much that I can see familiar blue eyes boring into mine. The top's always down, so my blonde hair always catches a breeze. My sleeves are rolled up, so I don't get ste...

The coolest thing to come to the food industry is milk. Yes, that white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals, according to the wise Wikipedia. My swimming friends tell me the best thing to drink after a rigorous pool workout or after doing a butterfly sprint at the nationals is a big ole glass of chocolate milk! For all you technically-inclined folks out there ...

Tonight, the Glee Clubs of Morehouse College (Atlanta, GA) and Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) put on quite a musical spectacle to a packed audience. For two hours, Sage Chapel swelled with spiritual songs and masculine notes that swirled to the rafters.
The Cornell Glee Club directed by John Rowehl began the concert with a few short pieces. Although the first song cons...

To sing a little Queen, "She gives me hot and cold fever, then she leaves me in a cool, cool sweat." Hopefully, I wasn't varying the temperature too much this week by playing songs with the theme of temperature in the title, artist, or album name. It's said that cows can predict the weather. Who needs Mark Baden, our hometown Channel 12 weather anchor, who always shows off...

I see you reading this post. Don't ask me how I know. I just do. Maybe I have secret powers. You'll never know unless I suddenly die, and it comes out in my post-mortal blurb that a real-life superhero walked amidst us, and we weren't even aware that super humans even existed outside of Hollywood. Some things are best left unsaid. Certain words can alter the present. Somet...

Come one, come all to the listen to the show being broadcast from the middle of the cornfield. That's right. This is probably the only one where the dj traipses out each week to the one spot where the tunes can float freely on the air waves. One isn't the loneliest number when you've got the many ears of corn listening to your every sing-song note. Besides, you're not the ...
