Andy Bernard has been promoted to Regional Manager of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin. Wonderful news for Cornell! Little does NBC know they are helping promote our school using product placement. Yes, I took a comm class once. And now you can buy all the different items that Andy has displayed proudly on his desk at The Cornell Bookstore for double the price. Just don't go on Sunday...they're closed.

Oakenshields Mexican Wednesday Leads to Shitocolypse
Central Campus’ only all-you can eat dining hall decided to have its first official Mexican Wednesday this week. This proved to be a terrible idea for Oakenshits because, well, if their chicken breast is the equivalent of a double dose of laxatives, imagine what their burritos will do. “Yesterday was honestly the most horrifying thing...

Denice Cassaro Drunk Emails Freshmen; Students Actually Read Them

Things I Wish I Knew Before I Came to College: Cornell Days Edition
Today marked the end of my favorite time of the year (no, not steak and a blowjob day): Cornell Days.

Charlie Brown Christmas
In honor of Christmas, I present to you a Charlie Brown Christmas in its entirety straight off of youtube. A big thanks to whoever the hell rugratsfrankie2 is for the movie.

No Spring Maintenance….
After last Friday’s 85-degree weather, it appears that Cornell University has used all of its spring maintenance funding on keeping the Lake Effects snow out of the forecast, not accounting for the shocking, yet annual, mid-April snow and sleet storm.

Hunger Games At Cornell: Which College Will Win?
Ezra Cornell was actually a pretty twisted President.

Cornell University Hides Oprah
What some people thought was an April Fools joke at Cornell University was actually reality! Oprah was at Cornell. But, how did nobody know about her arrival, her stay or her departure?

Breaking News: Lefties Protest Outside Olin
Yesterday, outside Olin Library, Lefties came together to protest against the abundance of righty desks and lack of lefty desks around Cornell’s Campus. With so many famous, successful, lefties, it is disturbing to these students that they are underrepresented. “We used to be persecuted against. There’s a long history of discrimination against our people. My... MORE »

BREAKING NEWS: Cornell Working to Hire Victor Cruz as Salsa 101 Instructor
Everyone at Cornell (except transfers…how come they get away with this?) has to take two gym classes and a swim test before they are able to graduate.

Incidences of Hypothermia Increase Due to Lack of Alcohol During Pledging
Even though, in recent weeks, the weather in Ithaca has been unseasonably warm, because of lack of alcohol during pledging students have found themselves feeling like a foreigner….cold as ice (to any 80s music fans out there). “I used to wear a liquor jacket out ever night.
