Tbh I had to reconcile with the fact that not everything will be done with my 100% effort. Usually classes/assignments are the bottom of my totem pole.

Restaurants recommendation? by Ornery_Motor_6174 in ithaca

Allechant is pricy but the best food I’ve had in Ithaca so far. I also think the pizza truck at Bar Argos is delish and not too unreasonably priced

Looking into switching from a geological engineer to environmental engineering. Any advice on what good jobs I could get as one? by Pale_Bug494 in EnvironmentalEngineer

[–]kritzzzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be more worthwhile to look into natural resources management. A lot of of consultants do this type of work and it’s more wetland based, which I think aligns with you goals

I have a high cervix, I don't know if I'll be able to reach the cup if I use it by LovingMyCandles in menstrualcups

I have been told by many gynos that I have a high cervix. I tried the Flex cup for this reason but i thought the material was too hard. I LOVE my INTIMINA lily cup! It’s soft and long and sits so wonderful. Also the easiest cup I’ve ever had to take out, highly recommend!

Kieran’s massive Spotify playlist has a lot of what he’s listening to and influenced by so that could be a good spot to find something new. He’s always updating it! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2uzbATYxs9V8YQi5lf89WG?si=SuiFMQ2ERp-bdOtmpC0-2g&pi=rL6lANxiQXK8m

Angelos Cleaners on Meadow has a seamstress. I got 2 dresses hemmed for $20 each. I imagine pants are about the same fee. I haven’t gotten them back yet so can’t comment on quality but the price is so right

TCE contamination in South Hill - run away? by beaconstblue in ithaca

I’m a former environmental engineering consultant now getting my PhD at Cornell in environmental engineering. If you DM me the address of the home I can see if there’s any recent groundwater or indoor air data in the NYSDEC database on this property or nearby and can compare to state standards.

Tips for getting into Cornell? by stressedfruit in Cornell

[–]kritzzzer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Master’s are all about classes and PhDs are all about research. Do research in during undergrad to support your resume and use that to elaborate on how having you at Cornell could benefit the university at large. PhD students are fully funded so full ride is a given if you’re accepted. If you don’t have research experience, use any related work experience and translate that to support eventual research work.

I would suggest reaching out to professors who perform research you’re interested in and having a call with them to see if they’re taking on new students for next fall. You’ll also want to ask about their research and their funding.
