Clubs! I've always believed that the best way to find your people is to dive into the things you love—and maybe even sprinkle in a few things you never expected to try. When I got to Cornell, I wanted to strike a balance between exploring new experiences and grounding myself in ones that already felt familiar. Joining clubs through ClubFest helped me do exactly that. I reconnected with something I've loved my whole life through the Figure Skating Club, but I also stepped outside my comfort zone by joining Outdoor Odyssey, where I backpacked through the Adirondacks for six days before classes even started. From there, everything fell into place. Now, many of my closest friends come from the communities I've built through the organizations I'm part of. Each one has given me a different type of support system, but all share the same sense of purpose and joy that make Cornell feel just like home.
