Get used to it

Monday! The start of a new week, and, more importantly- the last week before spring break!

With spring break right around the corner, you would think that students would be ready to wind down for their break. However, this is by no means true. In fact, students are working harder than ever. This week I have two essays due and a large homework assignment. Other people have the same type of things but with midterms on that. All in all, the last week before break is hell.

Why?

Apparently they
Need to remind students that
We are at Cornell

Really, it's just not obvious enough from our workloads. They need to pile on all of the work right before we go away so we know that just because we have a break doesn't mean we can start unwinding for it quite yet. So while all of our friends are back home on their colleges' breaks, relaxing and having fun- we're staying up till ungodly hours studying, writing, and drinking coffee (or tea or hot chocolate, whatever floats your boat... which is actual quite a good metaphor for the scenario). So, to help the cause, I too would like to remind you, if you're at Cornell: You're at Cornell. Get used to it.
