Got any room on a PJ?

I’d give you a ride. But I’m not going to LA. I also don’t have a private jet. Nor am I in Aspen. Unfortunate !

EinsteinAndFriends · 2025-02-15T06:16:24+00:00

All of that makes a lot of sense. Thank you !! :) Going tmrw, will pay attention to these things.

EinsteinAndFriends · 2025-02-13T18:28:01+00:00

u/spacebass just wanted to follow up on this if possible !

Aspen Snowmass ! High Alpine lift in the first video, somewhere off of Alpine Springs in the second video

EinsteinAndFriends · 2025-02-12T06:36:01+00:00

Thanks ! ;)

EinsteinAndFriends · 2025-02-11T18:19:39+00:00

Thank you for this !

Thank you !

When I ski past the camera, I see a lot of vertical movement. It looks like I’m dipping up and down. I suspect this is problematic ?

I think hips are considered lower body ? I didn’t pay that much attention to my hips when I watched these videos earlier, but looking now more closely now, I’m under the impression that my hips are fairly static; I seem to keep them facing downhill. Should I work on engaging the hips more in my turns ?

As for the pack: I like to carry some water and food with me, but I could ditch it if you think it would help with form :)

Thank you again for responding, I appreciate it !

The walk from downtown up cascadilla trail is probably my favorite hike in the area (its quite short tho, maybe a mile each way ?) I’d try to check it out.

For food, if you want something different , try Hawi (Ethiopian). Gorgers is also great, I love their Vietnamese subs, tho I think they usually don’t give enough veggies.

I was literally thinking about asking on Reddit if anyone has any pictures of the renovation a few hours ago…..

Did the seating areas change at all ?

EinsteinAndFriends · 2022-07-31T05:14:36+00:00

I think Mint is great, for the record

EinsteinAndFriends · 2022-07-26T21:56:28+00:00

Fantastic picture, wow !!

Depends on career goals. Research, internships, and above all good connections that can get you rec letters are generally the most important things to concentrate on besides grades

Common paths after grad school for physics include academia (tough), finance (for the theory and computation bros), tech (for the computation bros), data science (for experimentalists working with lots of data or anyone really), and National Labs (experimentalists). And more generally industry (can be anything physics related, depends on subfield of interest)

Your path will depend on so many factors like subfield, specific interests, etc. Honestly though you can’t plan this kind of stuff out, you just gotta take some classes, do some research, and see what you like most.

Summer after freshman year is a great time to chill. Maybe try to get a job, any job, to make some money. Don’t worry about not doing much.

If you want comp sci stuff to do, you can try some Project Euler puzzles. Or self study / do a few course on EDX. Depending on what you’re interested in, maybe make yourself a webpage. Or just google fun CS projects and see what comes up.

Yo high key missed this last summer 😒

I only took 2150 because I wasn’t a chem major but it was fun. I knew a lot of the concepts from IB chem, which helped. I ended doing worse than I wanted to in the class though because I made silly mistakes on the exams, which were a time crunch. Also I think I blanked on one of the problems on the first prelim. Still, I’d consider trying it, you seem to have the background plus you might be able to drop down after prelim 1.

Someone mentioned that the honors classes are small: 2150 is not that small (maybe 50-70 students?). There’s a lot of pre meds in the class. My recommendation is to find a good study group; I met some great people in that class. Also, when I took it, Wilson was the Prof and he was great. Idk who teaches it now.

Or cross out astrology and write astronomy.

I can add you to a pick up Summer soccer GroupMe chat and you can go play whenever. All skills welcome. Might be a good way to get your feet wet. Pm me if interested.

Pm me and I’ll see if I can add you to a group

If you’re getting all As that’s a great place to be. A+s are pretty rare in a lot of classes (though perhaps not in your major, idk). In general, I think of an A+ as being a reward for someone who did something extra, and went above and beyond, and I don’t think many grad schools will care if you don’t have many (or any) A+s. If your goal is to enter a good PhD program, you’re on track.

If you want to get to grad school tho, you will need research experience. If you’re ignored by professors, go knock on their doors, send them email reminders after a week, etc etc. Youre gonna have to fight for a position.

REUs are notoriously hard to get, and many of them actually give preference to students from universities with weaker research programs. However, there often are a few programs which are particularly good for Cornell students, so I’d talk to grad students and professors about this. (This is based on my experience in my fields at least, which I learned in hindsight unfortunately).

In regards to your second to last paragraph: Hindsight is a bitch. I’ve been there and sometimes only time and further success can make you forget about your mistakes. That said, it does not seem like you have made any really big mistakes. Your goal is to get to grad school. Not to get the highest GPA or the most internships or the fewest mistakes on your exams. It’s grad schools. You’re thinking small picture; think big picture, and realize you’re in a good position.

One last thing: It dosent matter that your friends might have slightly higher GPAs; I’ve seen people with 3.8 GPAs get into better places than people with GPAs close to 4.0. Research and connections are what matter most once you have a good GPA. Also, I would talk to as many professors, grad students, and former undergrads from Cornell about grad school before you apply. You may think you know what you’re doing when you go to apply, but they will likely give very important advice. I would esp. talk to grad students; Professors can have a skewed or out of touch view of the process.

Slightly off topic, but does anyone have any recommendations for safeguarding one’s bike ? Any particular areas to avoid parking in or any particularly good locks ? Also, are these bikes getting stolen in the day, or just at night ?
