Kellianne Kornick Physics and Philosophy major Second year “I suppose, for Halloween I dressed up as Socrates. I showed up at my 8 a.m. Chem class dressed as my normal self, which happens to be mostly all black and very plain. Then I showed up to chemistry at 5 which has the same professor dressed as Socrates, and refused to break character. So I entered a dialogue with my fellow students, accusing them of being my accusers, and then asking them if they had a legitimate complaint against me. Basically I refused to break character the entire time. And then I was asked to do an example problem on the board, and almost broke my professor, she was laughing so hard.”
Emily Gray Hospitality and Tourism Management major First year “During orientation, my first week at RIT, I went Red Barn rock climbing my first night, but we missed all the buses coming back, so we had to walk all the way across campus, but we really didn’t know where we were going, and it was really late at night.”
Aashish Bansal Management Information Systems major Graduate student “Last semester I had a course in Finance. It was really interesting, but it was demanding as well. So when we had exams for it we’d spend the whole night in the library studying for it. During the second exam, I still remember, I slept in the exam. I was so sleepy, and so tired that I couldn’t hang around. I had to sleep for a while.”
Aramah Taylor Visual Media major Fourth year “It was my first year here. It was over the spring break. It was me and one other Roommate — I didn’t get along with her too well. It was more cordial speaking, acquaintance. She worked on campus, and I stayed at home because I didn’t have anything to do. So I stayed in my room and chilled. And she comes back one night and knocked on my door, and she said, 'Hi can I speak with you?' I was like, 'Yeah sure.' So she says 'Were you in my room?' 'No I wasn’t in your room. Why would I be in your room?' and she said 'I know you were in my room.' 'I haven’t left my room, why would I be in your room? I have no reason to go in your room.' 'No. I saw you in my room.' 'When did you see me in your room?' I said, 'You know what, I don’t have anything to do with your room. I don’t care. I don’t care about you, and your room. I don’t care if you were on fire, I wouldn’t put you out.' Mind you, I was pretty much in a towel arguing with her in my room.” 28 Views
