Incoming Freshman Lays Out Outfits For Every Day of First Year

MADISON, WI—After emptying her closets and pulling out suitcases in preparation for move-in day, incoming freshman Becca Miller laid out outfits on her bed for every day of her first year at Cornell.

“I know I’ll have so many other things on my mind, like moving into my dorm, figuring out where my classes are, making friends, going to parties, studying for finals,” explained the meticulous new student. “I want to have what I’m wearing all squared away so I won’t have to worry about looking good.”

Since her acceptance, Miller has collected Google images of Cornell students doing Cornell things for her Pinterest board, which has served as wardrobe inspiration for her big year.

“It looks like I’ll need dark leggings, a black Northface jacket, and big snow boots to wear with my mini dress during winter formal season— I don’t want to look weird or anything!” chirped the student excitedly as she chucked each essential item into her luggage.

Upon noticing that everyone’s outfit-of-choice on Slope Day is scratchy cotton tank tops with unrelatable designs, Miller proudly added her 2007 sleep away camp T-shirt to the pile.

OP-ED: Will You Be My Best Friend for the Next Four Years?

By an incoming freshman

Hey guys! My name is Owen and I’m in the Cornell University Class of 2021! Just thought I’d introduce myself before move-in. I’m hoping to make a new friend or two, or maybe actually find my best friend who will stick with me for the next four years and then for the rest of our lives.

I’m in the College of Engineering, so if you wanna talk about calculus hmu, or if math isn’t your thing that’s totally cool too! Just looking for a buddy to lean on when Cornhell gives us hell (get it guys?). I’ll probably be spending weekends at the RPCC, which is where everyone hangs out for those of you who don’t know yet.

Or if you’re more into hanging out in your room and playing video games, that works too! Just trying to find the guy I’ll mention in all those crazy college stories I tell my kids about someday. Or you could be a girl, that works too! In that case, I’d be looking for a totally platonic friendship but we could hook up sometimes if you’re feeling it, of course, and then probably date senior year and get married after college.

Anyway, I’m really looking forward to the nightlife at Dunbar’s. I mean, work hard, play hard, am I right? I’m always down for a good time. So if you’re the kind of party person who’s looking to have fun and get litty but like, not too turnt so we can still have deep conversations, lmk and we should definitely exchange numbers, Snapchats, Instas, Twitter handles, home addresses, and social security numbers!

Also FYI, I’m planning to rush a fraternity in the spring. I actually know a lot about Cornell student life because my dad plays squash with this guy whose nephew Johnny is going to be a senior at Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, so I can say the 3-to-1 female/male ratio deal is legit. So like, hmu if you want to hang! +1 (631) 327-7225
