When Jane Austen, a figure revered across the globe for her portraits of human nature, began her writing career, it was completely anonymous. Her first novels were simply marked as “the author,” acknowledging her previous works. Pride and Prejudice was “By the Author of ‘Sense and Sensibility.’” Emma was “By the Author of ‘Pride and Prejudice.’” Today, this unidentified individual has become a phenomenon worthy of countless movie adaptations and a nationwide organization committed to adoring her work. Her fame is only going to continue, as this year Jane Austen will be pushed further into the spotlight. Why? Come December, she turns 250 years old.
Think about your all-time favorite album. Maybe it's the one that calms you after a long day or the one that gets you up and dancing each time without fail. Maybe it's the album that you lip-sync to in the library as if it's a concert; you’ve memorized every lyric, tempo change, ad-lib and drum solo. Surely, you could picture the cover of this album instantly — it greets you on Spotify or Apple Music (or whichever other streaming service you frequent) with the comfort and reliability of an old friend. Now, imagine searching for this album and its cover is nowhere to be found. Instead, you are greeted by a stranger, a minimalistic replacement cover with a white text describing the original art atop a black shrink wrapped background. The familiar album cover you once knew and loved — that had supplemented your favorite listening experience — all of a sudden stripped away.
Nothing in pop culture is quite comparable to the phenomenon that is Twilight; since the release of Stephenie Meyer’s first novel in 2005, it has created a cultural frenzy, been panned by critics and, finally, experienced its own renaissance, successfully cementing the saga as a permanent cultural touchstone. Twilight has created some of the most diehard fans and staunch haters in all of literary and cinematic history. 20 years after the release of the novel that started it all, what is it about Twilight that has kept its fandom alive for decades, with no signs of slowing down?
To truly immerse myself in what I’m reading, I love making a good Spotify playlist to go along with the vibes of whatever book I have picked up. These are some songs that bring all the fantasy energy.

Sometimes, it is worth it to smoke just to get hungry and scarf down a good meal afterward. If you want to level up the experience even more, you need to have a go-to spot to fulfill the munchies. Classic spots like the local deli open late, McDonald's, Chipotle, or a chicken-focused place like Popeyes are usually the go-to options in such a scenario. However, Cornell lacks any of these easy options. This shocking predicament is what has led me to analyze the state of affairs of munchies at Cornell, and what needs to be done about it.

In 2022, longtime DC Film division leader Walter Hamada left the studio after claims that, under his leadership, films were unconnected and incoherent. A search ensued as DC looked for someone embroiled in the comic book world. This candidate would also need enough film sense to put the studio on top. DC has long been considered second to Marvel when it comes to creating movies, and the list of the highest-grossing superhero movies of all time doesn’t include a DC film until spot 11, filled by 2018’s Aquaman. The other slots are claimed by Marvel blockbusters such as Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther. DC needed direction. So, they turned to James Gunn.
A sickness has plagued our screens, and the world only watches, literally. The comfort you once found in shows now gets swallowed and coughed back to you in two parts. Gone are the days of 24-episode seasons, now we pay twice the price for half the story. Watching TV used to be the comfort of falling into a steady rhythm. Episodes dropped weekly, characters grew over time and you could sit with a story for months. When you think of classic network runs, even mid-2000s dramas like Grey’s Anatomy or Gilmore Girls churned out over 20 episodes a season. Now, most streaming originals barely cross the 10-episode mark. Even worse, many of those short seasons are chopped into two parts, forcing audiences to wait weeks or even months for the second half. Instead of building momentum, streaming platforms are interrupting it.
And just like that, there is one episode left to premiere in The Summer I Turned Pretty. As someone who read the books and experienced the emotional turmoil that comes with watching this show, I find the fact that it’s ending to be extremely bittersweet. Also, as someone who is unapologetically Team Conrad, I find myself unsatisfied with the scraps of happily-together Belly and Conrad that we have been handed over the course of the season and the show as a whole (as anyone who I speak to on a semi-regular basis can attest to). What makes it easier, though, is the soundtrack Belly and Conrad’s moments have been afforded. There has been a lot of chatter online about the magnitude of The Summer I Turned Pretty’s music budget due to its inclusion of some huge artists; but author, showrunner and Swiftie Jenny Han has set the internet positively ablaze with the sheer amount of Taylor Swift she has infused in this show. Even more to the point is the number of Taylor Swift songs she has used to build up Belly and Conrad’s story. In celebration of the series that has occupied an embarrassingly sizable part of my brain since July 16, this Test Spin will be dedicated to the artist whose music has carried us through since episode one and the album that screams “Belly and Conrad” — Fearless (2008).
I grew up with vivid memories of Nepal, the crowded streets, the resilience of ordinary people and my family’s constant hope for a brighter future. This past week, however, those memories have been pierced by grief.
Whether you’re a seasoned upperclassman who’s been around the block before or a first-year still finding your way around campus, you’ve probably heard the rumor that Ithaca has more restaurants per capita than New York City. While there are a lot of restaurants in town to choose from, you’ve probably also heard of Moosewood as a bucket list destination for those who want to explore Ithaca’s diverse food scene.
