Slope Day

Slope day is a big tradition at Cornell. It's held on the last day of classes in the spring. People join together on the big slope on campus and drink a lot all afternoon. A ton of alumni come back and even a lot of non-Cornellians come too. It always gets a little crazy. And at least when I was there, they never checked IDs (for readers in other countries: there is a rule in the US that nobody under 21 can buy alcohol and it's seriously enforced -- at least for the most part).

This year, however, Cornell is limiting the event to only current students. I've also heard that they ID students. This is all pretty sad.

The only bright side is that Snoop Dog will be there: http://www.slopeday.cornell.edu. Also see my earlier post on how drinking makes you smarter.
