This year marked the 20th anniversary of the annual Darwin Days in Ithaca, which is hosted by the Museum of the Earth. More than 160 years after Charles Darwin's publication of The Origin of Species, Ithaca residents gathered from Feb. 10 to 14 to celebrate his discoveries.
This is a message to the Class of 2028, a message to all of you new sophomores doubling as ex-freshmen.
After I told my friend at Binghamton University the name of the new coffee shop opening in Collegetown, she was on her way to Ithaca within the hour. She was already a loyal customer of the chain from her location back home, and I was already planning on visiting the newly-opened Qahwah House myself, but her reaction made me all the more curious to try it out.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I plead guilty on all accounts. During the four-hour February break mecca from metropolitan New York to quaint countryside Ithaca, one yammering asshole did not make it home. He was dumped, ever so spontaneously, at a Nyack McDonald’s — in broad rush-hour daylight mind you — post cursing me out. Call it petty, call it extreme. As arbiter of my vehicle, I call it karmic retribution.
In an era saturated with glossy musical biopics, it can feel as though Hollywood is running out of legends to cover. Now enter Song Sung Blue (2025), a drama not about a chart-topping icon, but a locally famous Neil Diamond tribute duo from Milwaukee known as Lightning and Thunder. This film stands apart from other biopics in the sense that it takes a more down-to-Earth, heartfelt approach to music, fame and success. The story offers something truly intimate: a portrait of ordinary people chasing an extraordinary dream. Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman dazzle as Claire and Mike Sardina, capturing the vulnerability, stubborn hope and quiet desperation of the two performers. The film trades spectacle for sincerity, exploring love, divorce, financial instability and the ache of a shared dream that begins to fracture under real-world pressures.
Enemies-to-lovers, slow burn, one bed, dark academia, morally gray characters — the list goes on. I'm sure many readers are rolling their eyes at this all too familiar list of overdone tropes, and at this point, I am too. If I see one more book described with boring tropes and a title of jumbled, mostly non-associated genre buzzwords, I might just combust. These books have become the darlings of BookTok because they can be marketed with just a few words in videos suitable for our generation's feeble attention span. This is not to hate against BookTok — I genuinely enjoy the community that has been built from this space and can appreciate that BookTok has benefited the bookselling industry. However, the use of monotonous tropes in the publishing industry is decidedly not a good trend since it is detrimental to both the craft of writing and the hobby of reading.
After a dual meet, the Red emerged victorious at Newman Arena on Sunday, defeating Southern Connecticut State University by a score of 193.450-189.075.

Mafia is usually a boring game that no one really knows how to play. I must have played it maybe two times in my entire life before coming to Cornell Mafia Club — probably at sleep-away camp once when the counselor didn’t know what else to do with us.
Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar transitioned to remote learning and work on Monday due to ongoing military actions in the region, according to a Cornell spokesperson.

Cornell’s pre-professional Black student organizations foster community among members and offer professional support for careers in fields spanning from law to engineering. The Sun spoke with members of the Black Ivy Pre-Law Society and the National Society for Black Engineers about how these organizations have shaped their Cornell experience.
The Cornell Student Assembly has adopted over 40 resolutions this academic year focused on issues ranging from climate change to disability ramps. A review of publicly available records, though, shows a recurring pattern — delays between when resolutions are sent to the University president and when formal responses are issued.
Sometimes — more often than I’d like to admit — I open my Google Calendar and feel a flicker of anxiety. The colors stack on top of each other: red for class, blue for meetings, green for work, yellow for everything else I’ve promised to squeeze in. I scroll to tomorrow and try to imagine myself moving through it all — like being alert at 9 a.m., articulate at 4 p.m. and enthusiastic at 8 p.m. By the time I’ve rehearsed the day in my head, I’m already exhausted and extremely overwhelmed.
Anxiety triggered from checking your bank account balance is a familiar experience for many college students. I get that same jolt of anxiety every time I use Big Red Bucks to grab food on campus. After each swipe of your Cornell ID card, your remaining BRB balance displays on the monitor, and the budgeting spiral follows immediately:
Iron & Wine had always reminded me of long plane flights — red eyes, specifically, when the cabin is hushed and dark, spare a few screens flashing with scenes from rom-coms or Disney movies, and you know that the owner of the seat is most definitely asleep. Perhaps this is because the first time I heard his music — his famous cover of “Such Great Heights,” specifically — was on a plane, or perhaps it was due to how mellow, soothing and folksy I found his music to be.
The unseasonably warm weather outside seemed to carry straight into Newman Arena on Friday night, where spirits were high, and anticipation buzzed long before tipoff.
A sliver of the moon gleams in the still night sky, steadily waxing toward a fully luminescent orb of hope. From the sky’s moonlit eyes, twinkling with praise, a searing breeze subliminally blows through the windows of Anabel Taylor Hall, as the run-down Gothic structure palpitates with God’s mercy.
