“Would people still study abroad if they couldn’t post about it?” This is the question that I’ve seen cycle through my Instagram Reels feed over the past few months.

What really drives people to forgo a semester at Cornell and live in another country for half a year?
We all know about the infamous 161 Things Every Cornellian Should Do list. Well, let me add another bucket list for you Cornellians to try and complete. As a believer in sexual liberation and someone devoted to the ‘try everything once’ philosophy, stepping out of your comfort zone and into a different bedroom can be fun — and may lead to an interesting story to tell your friends.

Above all, just have fun, be safe and make sure everything is consensual.

While weather nice enough to spend a few hours outside is sporadic this spring, on the off chance that my weather app does show it’s above 45 degrees, I’ll find myself wanting to go for a run. Given Ithaca’s weather, this isn’t too often — so to try to save time and gradually return to longer treks, I’ll usually find a route that’s around one mile.

Here are a few of my favorite routes and tips for a quick, casual run.

In 1953, Ray Bradbury authored the dystopian novel Fahrenheit 451. In 2026, it could be shelved under nonfiction. Fahrenheit 451 is set in a futuristic American society in which books are banned and burned to ensure mindless conformity amongst its citizens. Books are dangerous because they contain knowledge and contradict the authoritarian government's set of “truths” by encouraging independent thought. Here, firemen do not put out fires, they start them, with the pages of these “dangerous” books as kindling. House Resolution 7661 is a bill that aims to light these fires in our world.

In 1992, film scholar B. Ruby Rich coined the term “new queer cinema” to describe a recent trend in indie filmmaking. Filmmakers under this movement were interested in depicting queer characters that rejected heteronormative standards. As mainstream queer cinema attempted to advocate for equality through stories that adhered to social norms, new queer cinema created a much more subversive space for independent filmmakers to explore their identities on screen. Ahead of the 25th anniversary of Rich’s original article, I think it’s well worth it to look back at some of the most influential films from the movement.
