Have you seen that TikTok trend where people imagine their worst possible day in a specific place? That idea has lingered in my mind and made me wonder: What would the worst day at Cornell look like?
A freezing cold home opener is something of a tradition for Cornell lacrosse. Also becoming a tradition is an early season drubbing of Hobart, as the Red have beaten the Statesmen in seven straight seasons dating back to 2018.
After weeks of low temperatures, wind and snow, Cornell students are going to be met with springlike temperatures this weekend and into next week.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under the Trump administration, officially rescinded the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding on Feb. 12.

Once a month, Eddy Cruz ’17 invites ten strangers into his South Bronx apartment for a supper party. On one occasion, the guests were handed a menu resembling a couch. On another, a vinyl record. Since Cruz’s first dinner in October, they’ve amassed a waitlist of around 10,000 people, been featured in The New York Times, and in May, Cruz is scheduled to give a TedX talk.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — For the first 44 seconds of women’s hockey’s ECAC semifinal matchup against No. 7 Yale, the Red looked like an experienced team, one primed and ready for playoff success. Senior forward Mckenna Van Gelder won the opening faceoff, junior forward Karel Prefontaine found an open senior forward Avi Adam streaking towards the net, and less than a minute into the game, Cornell had a 1-0 lead.
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — In the first women’s ECAC Hockey playoff game at the historic 1980 Herb Brooks Arena in Lake Placid, No. 11 women’s hockey fell 7-2 to Yale.
At Cornell, it is super easy to hate the winter. The cold wind causes tears to run down your face. You have to trek through the snow because, officially, there is “no winter maintenance.” Somehow, you sweat under all your layers, despite the freezing temperature. Pair that with the boost of serotonin you get whenever a glimmer of sunlight comes out, just to find yourself devastated when another wave of subfreezing weather comes through.
How will this affect LeBron’s legacy? For over a decade, this question has signified LeBron James’ status as one of the greatest NBA players of all time.

Willard Straight Hall came to life Wednesday evening. The beat of rhythmic feet, echoes of laughter and lively latin dance music — courtesy of a live DJ — breathed energy into the cavernous room as students, faculty and community members alike came together to celebrate Dominican and Haitian dance traditions.
As a child, I absolutely loved Toy Story. What kid doesn't want their toys to secretly have magic lives of their own? Though perhaps marginally less, I loved Toy Story 2. I might have even loved Toy Story 3, but by Toy Story 4, I was wondering if Disney had lost the plot. Was it a bad movie? Personally, I didn't think so, but I did think they were starting to seem a little desperate. I mean, how much can Disney milk classic characters like Buzz and Woody before it just becomes too much? Besides, they could not even be bothered to come up with names beyond "Toy Story" plus a number. Already having poked fun at Toy Story 4, you can imagine my reaction when they announced Toy Story 5. My irritation does not end with Toy Story however. Frozen 3? Moana 2? Live-action remakes of every other movie? You can color this Disney die-hard unimpressed with the direction that their film-making has gone. In the past five years, the collapse of Disney's originality is apparent as they continue making cash-grab film after cash-grab film, relying on past success to drive current sales.
If the true spirit of a university lies in its ability to set a good example for its students, Cornell has failed us. As an academic institution with not only a responsibility, but a moral imperative to protect all of us, Cornell has promoted Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruitment and denied any measures to sincerely keep its students from harm. In the wake of recent ICE arrests in Ithaca, this has become an even greater threat to the well-being of our campus and fellow students. We must mobilize and hold our University accountable after three years of complicity.
The Cornell Ukrainian Club hosted a screening of the documentary film 2000 Meters to Andriivka on Monday to recognize four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. Now entering its fifth year, the war remains an active, grinding conflict that has devastated life in Ukraine.
Palantir Technologies, a data analytics and defense software company that has been criticized for its ties with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, hosted an invite-only recruitment event in Upson Hall on March 2. The event required every participant to sign a non-disclosure agreement, present identification and leave their backpack at the front of the room in order to attend.
I recently listened to a Today, Explained podcast titled “Are boyfriends embarrassing?” that delved into the phenomenon of women hiding their boyfriends from online platforms or avoiding displaying them on social media. The podcast mentioned the original Vogue article “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?” from October 2025 that first addressed the trend of women decentering men, especially in their online presence. This is partially attributed to the idea of ‘heterofatalism’ or the increasingly prevalent opinion of straight women that heterosexual relationships are hopeless endeavors.
If you’ve ever read Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, you’ll know that names play a pretty big role in it, as they do in many Dickens novels. I’m in the middle of Great Expectations right now for ENGL 3470: The Victorian Novel, and from what I’ve seen so far, Dickens has taken extra care to underscore the significance of names in this particular story. Pip, the main character, especially stands out to me; his real name is Philip, but he adopts “Pip” as his nickname during his humble childhood. Pip comes to have what are repeatedly referred to as “great expectations” — in other words, potential. As Pip’s circumstances change, so too does his nickname, despite a promise he made to always be called “Pip.” Interestingly, though, Pip’s name changes at the moment when it seems to best describe him: the word ‘pip,’ which refers to a fruit seed, denotes the very potential Pip — now known as Handel — is being told he has. Now, me being me, I couldn’t help but think of Gladys Knight & The Pips the first time Pip’s name is mentioned. But the connection is far more than just surface-level: in the early ’50s, the family band now remembered as Gladys Knight & The Pips was simply called “The Pips,” which was drawn from the nickname of a cousin. Only when the group relocated from Atlanta to New York and switched record labels did they become Gladys Knight & The Pips. Contrary to what I’ve seen from Pip’s transformation in Great Expectations thus far, however, the group only got better once their name changed. The name change allowed them to stay true to their roots while platforming their star. In honor of a group that truly did live up to ‘great expectations,’ this week’s Test Spin is dedicated to Gladys Knight & The Pips’ 1973 record Imagination — an album that gives a taste of just how far they would go.
For the third consecutive season, women’s hockey is playing on championship weekend — home of the ECAC Hockey tournament’s semifinals and final. Two seasons ago, the Red’s bid for a fifth ECAC title ended in disappointment at Class of 1965 Arena. In March 2025, Cornell avenged its loss to Colgate from the previous season, capturing the conference title in front of a raucous Lynah Rink crowd.
