When I was scrolling through Goodreads last week, I came across Shailee Thompson’s debut novel, How To Kill a Guy in Ten Dates, released in early February. The cover is pink and red, a seemingly perfect Valentine’s Day read. On closer inspection, the red is actually blood dripping down the cover. A horror romance novel? I was hooked.
Cornell University recently announced a commitment to increase its voluntary contribution to the Ithaca City School District, providing nearly $900,000 in additional funding over the next five years, designating these funds to enhance academic offerings and support student achievement. As a ICSD student, I would like to propose an additional step that would further advance this goal: Resume dual enrollment in Cornell courses on campus during the academic semester for local high school students, an approach that would be mutually beneficial for both the University and the school district.
Men’s basketball entered Saturday clinging to the edge of the Ivy League’s top four. About two hours later, the Red pushed itself right back into the race with a convincing 88-67 road win over Columbia at Levien Gymnasium.
Did Cornellians invent chicken nuggets? Did The Sun previously publish details about upcoming parties? Did Ezra Cornell have nine children? AMST 2001: “The First American University,” ranked No. 7 on The Sun’s “161 Things Every Cornellians Should Do,” answers all these questions.
The closest humanity has ever gotten to a period of sustained world peace was not the Congress of Vienna in 1815, nor the formation of the United Nations in 1945, but a high-octane debate held right here at Cornell University on Feb. 10, tackling the ultimate Ivy League question: “Is pegging gay?”
Aviator glasses. G-1 bomber jacket. White t-shirt. This is the costume for iconic movie character Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell from Top Gun, played by Tom Cruise. Besides this outfit, much of what spunky naval aviator Maverick wears has become synonymous with the character. Fans can easily recall his dark green flight suit or the famous helmet with red and white stripes. These costumes shape the character and the audience’s impression of the film, drawing us into a world of discipline, tragedy and high-flying. This is what the new exhibition from the College of Human Ecology, in collaboration with Cornell Cinema, hopes to explore — how military dress has influenced popular culture through its history and evolution.
Another year, another Grammy Awards, but the air inside the Crypto.com Arena felt charged long before the first award was handed out. Camera flashes ricocheted across the red carpet, the crowd’s anticipation humming beneath layers of couture and choreography. The 68th annual Grammys unfolded in Los Angeles on Feb. 1, hosted by Trevor Noah in his last year as emcee and was aired by CBS. This year’s Grammys were something more than an industry celebration; the ceremony was a showcase of both talent and the moment we’re living in.
“You do not yield.” — Sarah J. Maas, Throne of Glass series.
Yes, I will find my future Cornell husband through answering the questions “biggest niche Cornell red flag?” and “favorite romance trope?” Wow, I sure hope my significant other also adores a “step-sibling” romance!

I watched 30 films this past January. Maybe it was unemployment, maybe it was a reticence to touch grass (it was covered in snow anyway) and a desire to escape reality or at least the banality of my day-to-day existence.
Taylor Jenkins Reid is one of my all-time favorite authors. Best known for her hugely popular novel The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Reid has found her niche writing about the lives of fictional celebrities, often exploring how fame affects personal relationships. In anticipation of Valentine’s Day, this article ranks some of Reid’s notable pairs of lovers, from the toxic to the transcendent. Minor spoilers ahead!
Cornell announced the creation of the Ashley School of Global Development and the Environment within the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences on Dec. 16 after a $55 million donation from Stephen B. Ashley ’62, MBA ’64. The school plans to combine the department of global development and the department of natural resources.
This Valentine’s Day, we will be again bombarded with various messages: blessings to those in relationships, to those who have crushes, to flirtations, to those not looking for love, to those single but without a partner and beyond. You’ve got to host galentines, you need to do this kind of Valentine’s experience, don’t forget to get them flowers and chocolate!
As we approach Valentine’s Day, a day centered on celebrating love and togetherness, the United States is accelerating an agenda of fascism and racist hatred. The speeches of our President and MAGA officials are filled with dehumanizing rhetoric that have somehow managed to applaud public executions and excuse the kidnapping of a five-year-old pre-schooler.
“‘Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can,’ she said to him, ‘because these things don’t last your whole life’” - Love in the Time of Cholera, Gabriel García Márquez
If there is one show that has utterly consumed my thoughts lately, it is Bridgerton. Inspired by Julia Quinn’s eight-novel series, the hit drama is now heading into its fourth season. With the exasperating decision to split the season into two and have us wait until Feb. 26 to see what happens to Sophie and Benedict, I have been forced to rewatch each installment just to stay occupied. Beyond the elaborate gowns and ceaseless drama, what truly sets the show apart is its structure: Each season shifts the spotlight to a different Bridgerton sibling, and with them, a new romantic trope. With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I couldn’t help but reflect on the love stories so far and offer my own evaluation. From fake dating to the slow burn to the Cinderella story, every season brings a new spin to keep audiences enraptured. Of course, everyone has their opinions on which trope is most swoon-worthy, but we are here to settle the matter once and for all.
Every year, on Valentine’s Day eve, thousands of Cornellians log into their emails, awaiting a message from Perfect Match revealing their potentially perfect Cornell love.
