Quote of the week
Welcome Home
Congratulations on working your way through the first days of
college. I remember starting my first year here at IC, trying to fit-in
and make it to class on time. Two years later I am still trying to do
both! Just kidding, I have several alarm clocks now and am glad to
finally have a major (after being Exploratory for two years) and some
great friends.
Now that you are living on campus for the better part of the year,
Ithaca is your home and the Ithaca community is your family. I was
lucky enough to spend my entire summer in Ithaca and I remember this
feeling I had driving home from grocery shopping one day. You know that
feeling when you're driving around your hometown and you don't have to
think about what turns to make on which street because you know the
look and feel of the land? I had that feeling for the first time this
summer, and it was wonderful. My hope for you all is that you too can
find your place in the welcoming community that is Ithaca.
The first couple weeks of classes can be pretty overwhelming. Between
figuring out where everything is on campus and finding a balance for
your classes and social life, getting involved might be the last thing
on your mind. This week's issue is packed with different information
sessions and meetings for organizations you can be a part of on campus.
Don't let these opportunities pass you by before the semester has even
started! Two big events I strongly encourage you to attend are the
Involvement Fair and the INVOLVED Recruitment Night on September 5th.
The Involvement Fair is a wonderful way to check out many of the
organizations you can be a part of and make a difference with on
campus. INVOLVED is a way for first year students to get to know one
another in small groups with upperclassmen as leaders, not only showing
you what events are on campus but also the city of Ithaca. Be sure to
check out these events and all others that are going on in the next
couple weeks!!

of the Week
Motivation
for Staying Motivated
This is a tough time of year. It's not that there's really that much
more work to do right now, we've had tests and papers due all year
long. The problem is losing motivation to complete these tasks. I know
that I'm having trouble staying motivated. The weather is getting nice,
plus a new season of "Celebrity Fit Club" is on (featuring
Screech).
I'm anxious to see some old friends, and can't wait to do so. It'll
just be nice to not have to worry about anything really being due for
the next 4 months. Don't start slacking now though. We only have a
couple of weeks left. Finish the semester strong. Study for your exams
as hard as you can. Proof read your papers a few times over. Don't let
a bad grade at the end of the semester ruin what you've worked a half
of a year on. Also, don't be too ready too leave too early. If you
haven't had a college summer vacation before, it can get kind of
boring. I was ready to be back at school by mid-July my first
collegiate summer. So keep on keepin' on, and as a cajun clad Rob
Schneider in "The Waterboy" would say... you can do it!
Hidden
Talents
A couple of weeks ago we asked y'all to send us your amazing hidden
talents! Here's what you sent us!
Katherine Pike writes:
"A friend of mine and I taught each other how to sing
"row-row-row your
boat" backwards. I don't know if that's a talent or having too much
free time."
Chris Nolen, mentioned in our last hidden talents piece, informed me:
"Kate! Don't forget that I can break an apple in half with my bare
hands, and do a cartwheel. Not at the same time."
Katherine, Chris, thanks for your submissions! Katherine, I don't think
you have too much time on your hands, if you ever want to learn Pi let
me know. Chris, I will always be jealous that you can do a cartwheel
and I can't.

Heads, Joni Mitchell and their predecessors such as the Beatles, Bob
Dylan and Neil Young. We must warn you that one Neil Diamond tune has
somehow snuck into their repertoire as well. The Yaardvarks will be

Kate's Corner - Staying
Healthy
First
of all I would like to say thank you to my good friend that I have been
going to the gym with for the last month for motivating me to go last
night even though I really didn't want to get off my lazy bum, and then
to another friend of mine that I passed on the walk there that said
"Going to the gym Kate? Way to go, stay motivated!" Y'all made
my night.
When I got to the gym last night and got my workout on it taxed my body
more than usual. I couldn't figure out why, and then the Seinfeld
episode came on where Kramer stores his own blood in Newman's freezer
and everyone tells Jerry he's gaining weight. Jerry freaks out at this,
and replaces all of his junk food with fruit and vegetables. Then it
dawned on me the food I had eaten throughout the day: half a dozen
donuts, four cups of coffee, and half of a sandwich leftover from
Sunday night; not the healthiest day. I am glad I went to the gym,
because even though it was a tough workout I felt better afterwards.
The point of all this is that I want y'all to focus on staying healthy
for the last couple weeks of classes and into the summer. We tend to
put a lot of focus on study tips and pacing yourself, only mentioning
to get rest. Staying in healthy habits is just as important as studying
for your finals. Take a look at what you're eating the next time you
open your fridge or at the dining hall, really look at it. Is it mostly
carbs? Grab a few slices of cucumber or carrots and some grapes to go
along with your carbo-loading. Don't try to totally convert to
super-healthy food right away like Jerry, that can lead to stress (and
who can give up sweets? Not me!). However, I encourage you to make a
conscious effort these last couple of weeks to try and balance your
eating, and also to keep a regular sleep schedule. It's a busy time of
the year, so even if your regular sleep schedule is going to bed at 3
and waking up at 8, be consistent!
Also, don't forget that hugs help stress go away, I highly recommend 33 a
day!

Quote of the
Week
Pain (any
pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it
has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls
into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of
this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of
that." Once we
get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

A message from Kate and Chris
We
are sure you all have heard about the shooting at Virginia Tech
this Monday. In light of this tragedy, it is important to remember
and be thankful for what we have. If you knew someone from the
shooting, we would like to express our deepest sympathy for you, and want you
to know that we, along with the rest of the campus community, are here for your support.
In support of the victims and survivors, we encourage you to attend the candlelight vigil tonight at 8:00 pm at Muller Chapel.
Tomorrow,
"Orange and Maroon Effect Day,"
wear Orange and Maroon to honor those killed in this tragic event. Your
support would mean the world to the friends and families of those put
in harm's way at Virginia Tech.
It is a good idea to remember those
who are important to you. If you love someone, in any way, let them
know. We can never be certain of what tomorrow will bring, but we can
learn from the past and try to be as prepared as humanly possibly for
what waits around the corner.
Remember
too that this was an isolated happening, a very unfortunate one, and we
encourage you to not let this keep you from feeling safe, there
are still lots of great things that happen every day in this world.

Quote of the Week
Summer Is Kind Of Almost Here
 I
don't know about all of you, but I'm ready for summer. I'm at the point
where all I can think of is what to do this summer. I know that it's
quite a long ways away yet, but I can't wait. It'll be nice to have
some time to rest and not have to worry about completing a paper or
studying for a test. I've already started looking for some summer
concerts. A Bright Eyes show in NYC is looking promising. Hopefully
I'll be able to do a little bit of wakeboarding. It's a lot of fun, but
I always get sunburned. If you have Irish skin like I do, you might
know how terrible this really is.
This is actually going to be the first summer where I won't be home for
most of it. Summer Orientation will take up quite a bit of time, and
I'm going to be moving into a house at the start of July. It will be
different, but I feel that it's a good move. If you have any
interesting summer stories or summer plans, send them in and we'll post
them in next week's issue. Maybe some talk about summer will help warm
this campus up a bit.

Kate's Corner - Amazing hidden talents
At
dinner last night during a lull in the conversation I slyly raised my
eyebrows, one at a time, at my friend Chris. After staring back at me,
unable to move his eyebrows quite as magically as I can, we got into a
conversation about amazing (sometimes called useless) talents. Chris
can make his hand imitate a fish swimming (it's pretty cool!), raise
one eyebrow, and has his own mascot. I can wiggle my ears and nose,
know the first 50 digits of Pi, have dancing eyebrows, and can pogo-stick no-handed.
My friend Jeremiah can relate the numbers 1 to 57 to any Sopranos
episode, and name who wrote and directed the episode (we decided that
he won for the night). Last night we all discovered one another's
hidden talents.
What are your hidden talents? Can you juggle while riding a unicycle?
Write in different languages with different hands at the same time?
Balance anything at all on your head?
Chris and I would love if y'all wrote to us at TheEventsCrew@gmail.com
and told us about your hidden talents! Send us pictures, video, or
descriptions, and we will include them in either next week's issue, or
maybe have a new one every issue. Let's show everyone what kind of true
natural talent students here at IC have!
