To any incoming student, enrolling in a first-year writing seminar is a quintessential Cornell experience.

With over 100 available courses in 30+ departments, incoming students have a wide variety of topics to choose from — including birds, fashion, history, robots, feminism and more.

With Cornell’s club recruitment season upon us, most, if not all, tables are taken for coffee chats. It’s what everyone is talking about right now, whether you’re sending the requests or receiving them.

The breakout hit movie of 2026, Obsession, is now positioning itself to sweep the awards season, with Inde Navarette and Curry Barker leading the charge. The title, which smashed box office expectations earlier this year, plans to enter every eligible category at the Oscars. This obsession with Obsession is ostensibly a sentiment shared by cast, crew and movie patrons alike, or is it?

Let’s just start off by saying that I should not be seeing the outlines of your lip filler migrating while I’m trying to enjoy the eye candy that is the rendition of King Henry V of England during the 15th century. Yes, I am highly attuned to catching every single minute detail that crosses my screen as I enjoy the films I watch most nights. This includes, but is not limited to, noticing that you, too, are an avid user of the Anastasia dip brow pomade … but why did I see that when you're supposed to be representing the rural gentry of the 1800s? The phenomenon I’m referring to now is “iPhone face.” It's real, it’s an epidemic and it has to stop.

In the age of AI, board games seem an unlikely candidate for a popular pastime. The experience of playing a board game is the polar opposite of using AI; while the latter allows us to avoid social interaction, the former requires full social engagement. Furthermore, as AI enables us to limit how much we need to think, board games demand our full intellectual attention. This makes board games’ recent rise in popularity not only surprising but also indicative of people’s desire to connect more deeply in a world where it is easier than ever to self-isolate.

Irony is a randomly occurring form of art, pairing time and place to invoke symbolism and force thought — much like other, more traditional conceptions of art. A poignant case study is currently playing out along the Danube River, which runs through — or along the borders of — 10 countries in Central and Eastern Europe.

Is there a song that takes you right back to where you were the first time you heard it? You were introduced to it — maybe it made an impression, maybe it didn’t — then you forgot about it for a while, and then when you heard it again, you were suddenly transported to the time and place of the first listen? “Darlin’” by Houndmouth is that song for me.

I never believe in the characters of reality television. The need for distinct roles — people to root for or against, problem or peace-makers — is usually too evident, with caricature-like reactions and statements. It’s not difficult to remember that this is television for entertainment.

Picture this: You work at a college which is famous for its theater programs. Like, genuinely, that’s your whole thing. As you sit in your office one day, talking to your only friend (by which I mean ChatGPT), you’re struck with a genius idea. Your school is in desperate need of a new major. No, not another theater major (you already have six of those), something more innovative and, frankly, useful. Something to celebrate our new overlord … Yes, you’ve got it: a degree in artificial intelligence.

On a Sunday afternoon in 1892, Reverend John M. Scott stopped by the Platt & Colt Pharmacy and was served a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with cherry syrup and a cherry. The dessert was dubbed the “Cherry Sunday,” making it the world’s first documented ice cream sundae. And who would’ve thought? The glorious art of adorning ice cream with sauces, sprinkles, nuts, syrups, cookies and various candies started right here in Ithaca (where Taste of Thai is now located, to be exact).

Could magic mushrooms be a window into treating depression? This is the question a Cornell professor and his team seek to answer by studying the effects of psychedelics on the brain and how they could be replicated to create more effective depression medications.

Plans for an AI data center drawing water from Cayuga Lake were met with heavy opposition from local activist groups before a state moratorium in July halted plans. But, the moratorium lasts for only one year. After its expiration, plans for the center could resume.

“So do you say Arizona State University or do you just say ‘HPVU’?” This is what Ted, the degenerate talking teddy bear, asks his lawyer the moment she mentions she went to ASU in Ted 2. He and his friend John Bennett then proceed to make fun of her with more jokes aimed at the party life and promiscuous nature of ASU. Why did they both know to immediately make these jokes, and why do we as viewers immediately get them?

MAGA Majority, an initiative run by the National Republican Congressional Committee devoted to electing non-incumbent Republicans, has removed State Senator Peter Oberacker (R-N.Y.) from its program, according to a review of MAGA Majority’s most recent candidate list published by Punchbowl News.

“If it gets too real, you can always turn it off.” This quote reoccurs often throughout Jane Schoenbrun’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, acting as a kind of summary of the film’s themes. It first appears as a tagline on a poster for the original Camp Miasma, a Sleepaway Camp-esque slasher with a problematic history being rebooted by the film’s protagonist.

Cornell MFA candidate Lilian Shtereva ’27 describes “the moment at which an architectural structure becomes a living residence” as a key theme of her newest art exhibit, “taskscapes.” I was excited to see more of her work after my previous interview with her last semester. When I visited her new gallery on Sept. 4, her characteristic assortments of miscellaneous objects occupied a very different space. A high-ceilinged room in Olive Tjaden Hall had housed her exhibit “how to fix a leaking ceiling,” while “taskscapes” inhabits a larger, more modern and more compartmentalized space in Milstein Hall. This new space, divided by two movable walls into three main sections, allowed Shtereva to create several uniquely expressive spaces within the larger context of the gallery.

Robert Pattinson is everywhere. It seems like the 40-year-old British actor still wants to put as much distance between himself and his Twilight days as possible by starring in every major release this year. Each time, he comes complete with a visual makeover and a new voice. How many actors can portray such a diverse assortment of characters as Pattinson has, switching from the creator of the iconic “Somebody get these BEGGARS out of here!” meme to his eerily accurate Chris Hansen impression?

If you put every Cornell student in a room and forced them to agree on one thing, it would be that they did not choose the school for Ithaca’s notorious weather. Now don’t get me wrong, Ithaca has much to offer scenically: hiking trails, gorges, even a multitude of swimming and diving locations. However, when you are walking to your 8 a.m. lecture in 17 degree weather and the sun still hasn’t risen, you tend to ask yourself — why on earth would I ever choose to go to school in Upstate New York? But it’s too late. You're already here. So, I present to you a survival guide to Ithaca weather:
