FEMALE STUDENTS CLAIM WEARING HIGH HEELS IN WINTER IS WORTH IT

ITHACA, NY- Despite twisted ankles and repeated face plants into snow banks, female students at Cornell University cannot get enough of their high-heeled shoes. While most people find snow boots to be the practical choice while trekking through blizzards, these ladies must dress to impress no matter what the cost.

"When I go to the bar, I have to look my best, which means I have to be wearing heels," claims a second semester senior. "I only have three and a half months left to get my M.R.S. degree and I am not going to let a little snow get in the way of that."

Another students claims that wearing heels prevents her jeans from getting those ugly salt rings. "Slipping is the price I pay to keep my jeans salt-free. High heels give me just the right height so my jeans don't drag on the ground."

Cornell University declared a snow day this past Wednesday, which created a prime opportunity for many students to get in another drinking session in Collegetown. One student amused herself by watching hoards of high-heeled females attempt to climb the unplowed hill of Catherine Street. "I saw one girl fall 17 times, two of which were flat on her face. She was a mess by the time she reached the top, but damn, those heels were hot."
