Of all the media available at the click of a button, from reruns of classic TV dramas to the latest series available on Netflix, I find the old Lifetime-style movies, originally released on channels such as Lifetime, NBC, ABC and CBS from the ’80s to early 2000s, to be the most underrated. Easily found on platforms such as YouTube and Tubi, often for free, these movies are parables that offer a time capsule of the past while resonating in the present. These movies cover real-life issues, often true-stories, such as mental illness, unsolved crime and family strife. There are always deeper themes driving these films; jealousy, injustice, insecurity and a fast-paced, dramatic plotline makes the stories relatable and unforgettable. I’ve often watched these movies in an effort to escape everyday life, quickly finding myself immersed in the story and attached to its characters. Despite their reputation as corny and predictable, these dramatic but true-to-life movies have managed to captivate me and stay with me longer than almost any other style of film. Here are three of my favorite vintage Lifetime style movies that offer drama with a side of realism.

At Cornell, summer is not a time to relax; it is a measure of how successful your internship search was during the previous academic year. Having an internship, research lined up or a passion project you are pursuing is the rule, not the exception. With that boulder weighing down on you, the concept of doing nothing –– or, in all actuality, enjoying your summer — feels horrifying. In an environment that pushes us to our limits, a self-deprecating term has become ingrained in the lingo of many Cornellians: “chud.”

We are living under a fascist government. This is a statement that once accepted, bears immediate moral responsibilities.

Poor engineering kills people. The Champlain Towers collapse caused 94 deaths; two Boeing 737 MAX crashes caused 346 deaths; the OceanGate Titan implosion caused five deaths. All of these are examples of catastrophic engineering errors that took lives. More significantly, these have all happened within the last decade and were the result of technical issues that were noticed but negligently went unresolved. In the case of the Boeing 737 MAX, low level engineers and training pilots both told senior staff about the issues that led to the crash years before they occurred. No action was taken to correct the issues due to corporate pressure and the company actively concealed safety concerns from regulators. A combination of calculation errors and ethical failures needlessly cut short the lives of over 300 people. Since the conception of the steam engine over 300 years ago, there is no doubt that engineering and safety regulations have greatly improved. Nevertheless, there is still always a risk that the buildings, bridges and vehicles you use everyday may actually be a ticking time bomb.

Why does a resident of Mary Donlon Hall pay the same amount for housing as a resident of a dorm like Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hall? One resident lives in a dorm built in 1961 with no overhead lighting or air conditioning, while the other revels in a room with both. One has suspicious stains in their carpeting, while the other has vinyl flooring. One has, to put it bluntly, a crappy dorm, while the other lives in luxury. Yet, they still pay the same price — how could this be fair?

Rain and 40-degree temperatures did not make it feel like a late April lacrosse game, but the stakes felt appropriate with No. 6 Cornell (10-3, 5-1 Ivy) taking on No. 10 Harvard (9-3, 3-3 Ivy) with heavy Ivy League and NCAA playoff implications.

As we find ourselves at the end of yet another long semester at Cornell, we also test the promises we upheld to ourselves at the beginning of the year. For example, did you promise to overcome procrastination and lock in this semester? Did you tell yourself, it’s 2026, the year you will finally achieve all our ambitious resolutions?

The Khia Asylum can fight me because I thought Meghan Trainor's new album was an absolute smash hit. As I was informed by a friend when I mentioned her album, Trainor is part of a new phenomenon referred to as the "Khia Asylum" which refers to artists who have not achieved stardom or who flopped after a short era of success. However, if we count the sheer number of times I have streamed Toy With Me since its release on April 24, we'd probably find that I could single-handedly support Trainor's career. So, what makes this album so exceptional? What makes Toy with Me worth a listen?

The Eurovision song contest is, perhaps, the only equivalent of the Olympics in the music world. Mostly familiar to the U.S. audiences thanks to Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, it is exactly as gimmicky and offbeat as one understands it to be from the movie. Pyrotechnics explode, mechanical bulls get wheeled out onstage, masked metal artists get crowned the monarchs of European entertainment. But there is a method to the madness — a throughline stretching across years.

What major comes to mind when you think about a student photographer? Did you say chemical engineering? No? That’s weird, because Julia Sun ’26 is a photographer studying chemical engineering and doing both masterfully. Although she has always been an artist, Sun hasn’t always been a photographer. She recounted her first foray into the world of photography with a Sony a6000 bought for her by her father. “I just started clicking. … I didn’t even know what I was doing. I really, really loved it — just taking pictures, bringing [my camera] everywhere with me,” she shared. That inspiration led her to take photography classes in her senior year of high school, which helped her hone in on her technical skills.

Exactly 20.9 miles north of Uris Library in the Village of Interlaken in Lake View Cemetery is a small, modest headstone. It is gray, plain and smaller than most. Yet, despite the humbleness of the stone, it stands out, for on top are numerous trinkets, a small toy robot, a pair of red, plastic sunglasses, several pens, a baseball, coins and a cigarette to name a few. No other marker in the cemetery is adorned this way.

There’s not much to do in Ithaca on a rainy Saturday — unless you know where to look. This weekend in particular held an event I was excited for as a lover of music and a gumshoe of music lovers: the Ithaca Vinyl Records & CDs Fair. The Downtown Ithaca Conference Center took on the persona of an audio-fanatic's dream basement, hosting makeshift isles overflowing with CDs, vinyl records and various music paraphernalia. I wasn’t sure where to begin; not just as a shopper, but as an investigator. I wanted to pick the brains of these vendors who had come from far and wide to peddle their wares, because I’m sure they too wonder why vinyl records, against all odds, still hold appeal to a world where almost any song can be cued up at the push of a button.

I’ve been avoiding writing about homosexuality in Greek Life for a simple reason: discourse invites over-examination. As Michel Foucault suggests, turning something into discourse can overexpose it, thereby imposing new labels around masculinity and secrecy in fraternity life. In other words, I’m risking reinforcing the very structures of sexual exclusions I seek to eliminate. However, I believe myself capable of writing on the topic without being overly hubris or grandiose — an almost impossible task as a columnist, I know.
