Knock Knock. Who’s there? Spring! Spring who? Spring it’s time to wear sandals!!! OK, so not my best knock knock joke ever but it served the purpose I enlisted it for; introducing the topic for today’s column: sandals.

Paris.

Where to begin?

Getting tired of your winter clothes, coat and snow boots? Me too. But it’s not spring yet — sorry to break it to you, although the two feet of snow on the Arts quad should be hint enough — so we need to keep bundling up to stay warm and dry. The challenge, and hey, we’re Cornell students, we do love our challenges, is to do so with fun and flavor.

As everyone is surely aware, the Cornell community will be celebrating Slope Day this Friday. The Slope Day Programming Board would like to wish all of you a fun and safe Slope Day and leave you with some advice:

When we come to Cornell we hear a great deal of lore,

Of courses, of parties and oh so much more.

Among all of these stories, one stands alone,

That one is Slope Day, king on a throne.

As all of our classes come to close,

Our collective love for this school most surely grows.

It’s all about hanging out with your pals,

All of the coolest Cornell guys and gals.

There’s no other day where we all get together,

Frolicking happily like birds of a feather.

So get to the Slope where fun will be had,

Really, we’re telling you, it’s totally rad.
