Since I arrived on campus, I’ve been told that I am a part of a top 15 global institution, but these rankings don’t reveal the 3 a.m. smell of burnt coffee in Carpenter Hall or the collective sigh that is heard within Baker 200 when the physics prelim median is a 48%.

The first time I visited a Tokyo bookstore, I was shocked. I remember walking in and thinking that I had never seen such a wide and accessible selection of translated novels in American bookstores. Not only were there works from numerous languages translated into Japanese, but also selections in English, Korean, German, Italian, French and so many other languages.
Last week, two highly-discussed films hit theaters: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie and The Drama. At first glance, these new releases have nothing in common. One is an animated sequel to 2023’s blockbuster video game adaptation that grossed over $1.3 billion, produced by Nintendo and Illumination and distributed by Universal. The other is an original, mid-budget romantic comedy-drama taking up a much smaller slice of the box office pie, produced by Square Peg and distributed by A24.

Backstage at the Cornell Fashion Collective Spring Runway Show, Maia Hirsch was not watching the crowd. She was glued to the backstage monitor, eyes fixed on her breathing dress moving down the runway. The dress, a structured gown covered in 3D-printed crystals and soft robotic structures made out of silicone that physically expanded and contracted, synced to the wearer's heartbeats. As her creation moved under the lights, one thought consumed her: Would it work? Until it did, nothing else mattered.
On Nov. 7, 2025, Cornell announced a $60 million settlement with the Trump administration, unfreezing $250 million in funding and closing all open Title VI Civil Rights investigations. Half the sum would go to the government, the other half to support agricultural research. Cornell further committed to additional data sharing on admissions, the use of a controversial Department of Justice memo in internal training and inclusion of questions about antisemitism in our campus climate surveys.

On the evening of March 15, the State Theatre in Downtown Ithaca was filled to near capacity. The lights dimmed, and onto the stage stepped the Lords of the Sound, performing one of their final shows in their U.S. debut tour. A Ukrainian orchestra renowned for its tours across Europe, the Lords of the Sound brought to Ithaca “The Music of Hans Zimmer,” a wide-ranging portfolio of one of film’s most prolific and beloved composers. The selections ranged from the German artist’s most well-known works like “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Interstellar” and “Dune,” to less worldly-acclaimed scores that instead hold great nostalgic value, such as “Madagascar.” The Lords also performed selections from Ramin Djawadi’s critically-acclaimed score of “Game of Thrones,” paying homage to one of Zimmer’s most accomplished students. Behind the orchestra, vibrant animated videos depicted the corresponding films through symbolic imagery to add a beautiful visual dimension to the performance.

“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. When I think about how my social media has been completely engulfed by daily abroad posts, that question becomes more intriguing. 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. While I cannot confirm nor deny which items I have personal experience in, know that my expertise and research have helped me craft a diverse list ranging in freakiness. Above all, just have fun, be safe and make sure everything is consensual.

Cornell Hack4Impact, a student-run project team, partners with nonprofits to develop free software ranging from mobile apps to data visualization platforms — work that its members say saves organizations hundreds of thousands of dollars in development costs.
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. Enough to get my heart rate up and to see a bit of nature, but not so much that I’d end up walking most of it (which can also be super fun, but can feel like a misuse of time with so many assignments, projects and applications due). Here are a few of my favorite routes and tips for a quick, casual run.
“What’s the point of a college campus if not to engage in learning, to talk to those who are different from you and to enter spaces of cross-cultural interaction?” asked co-president of ALANA Intercultural Programming Board, Leslie Monter-Casio ’28.
