I moved to Ithaca in August, when the fireflies were still busy in the swampy expanse behind my cottage in nearby Brooktondale. At night, that stretch of grass turned into a field of quiet, blinking light — steady and unreal. I’d recently accepted a job as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at Cornell and I remember thinking: “Okay. This isn’t so bad for a Turkish girl from the Mediterranean coast. I can do this. I can make it here.”

If you visited Robert Purcell Community Center any time last week, you probably saw or heard Cornell’s a cappella groups tabling to advertise their audition processes. Toward the beginning of each semester, most of Cornell’s a cappella groups hold several rounds of auditions for new members. To get an inside look at the audition process, I decided to interview some a cappella members, table for one of the groups and go undercover and audition for one to get a true sense of the process.

Myth, magic and a fantastic quest fill Nightshade & Oak, Molly O'Neill's newest novel that follows the guide of the unquiet dead and a spear-maiden as they seek out the Afterworld. I had the pleasure of reading Greenteeth over winter break and I fell in love with O'Neill's storytelling, which felt like returning to the fairytales of my childhood with quirky characters and a mythical quest across the magic realm. I was expecting something similar with Nightshade, but whereas Greenteeth was sunlight filtering through the leaves, Nightshade was the pounding rain that tears through empty branches. Set in Roman-occupied Britain, Nightshade & Oak follows Mallt y Nos, a goddess of death in Celtic folklore, who is turned mortal by a wayward spell. Used to immortal strength, grace and beauty, Mallt is jarred by the transition and entirely unprepared for a human life riddled with constant pain — from heartache to stubbed toes.

My guilty pleasure is watching admittedly inane Netflix dating shows. While these watches don’t require much brain power, they are perfect for a good laugh or much needed distraction from school.

On my first day at Cornell, curious to see the various restaurants and stores in the area, my family and I took a walk around Collegetown. As we wandered, my brother suddenly remarked, “Their food is so good. I didn’t know they had one here but you should definitely go if you get the chance.” I whipped around to see which restaurant my brother, who typically holds very high standards for what he considers “good food,” had just praised. I was met with a grey, concrete building, with the words “Xi’an Street Food” above the door.

What does our tuition fund? It is a reasonable question to ask when studying at a university that costs $92,844 to attend and whose financial aid policy leaves much to be desired. It is a question I kept returning to during my first semester as I discovered dozens of more hidden fees that I expected this outrageous cost to cover.

I was walking through Olin Library one afternoon when it happened. Libe café seemed particularly crowded during the first full week of classes — coats draped over chairs, laptops open, conversations hovering somewhere between urgency and early fatigue. As I passed in the hall, I noticed a familiar face at one of the tables. A former student: she looked up from her conversation, recognized me, and waved enthusiastically. I waved back. I didn't stop; she was sitting with a friend and I didn't want to interrupt. We both went on with our afternoons. And yet, I carried that moment, and the warmth it brought, with me for the rest of the day. I've also been thinking about it ever since.

I’m from right outside Atlanta, which means a lot of my friends from home ended up at universities scattered across the South. It also means that I can’t go home or visit them as often as I’d like, since it requires a plane ticket. Because of that, I am always urging them to visit me here in Ithaca, something I never expected anyone to actually commit to. Flights are expensive, Ithaca is inaccessible and the weather can be brutal at times.

Though it hasn’t even been a full year since the release of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, the film has already established itself as a modern American classic. Sinners was the most successful film not tied to existing intellectual property at the domestic box office, grossing almost $300 million in the United States alone. Additionally, the movie received a record-breaking 16 Oscar nominations, being nominated for all but one (Best Actress) of the categories it could have competed in. In honor of Black History Month and the film's resounding success, it is worth exploring the themes that make Sinners such a powerful work. Spoilers ahead!

VIDEO | Hundreds of students and Ithaca residents rallied at Bernie Milton Pavilion in the Commons on Friday, to take a stand for the people killed by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. They call to “stop ICE’s reign of terror,” according to an Instagram post made by the rally’s organizers.Organized by several on and off-campus organizations, including Cornell Young Democratic Socialists of America and the Tompkins County Workers’ Center, the “ICE Out of Ithaca Rally” was part of a national shutdown to protest ICE’s actions. The shutdown, called for by Minnesota-based student organizations and other groups across the nation, aimed to draw attention to the murders and prompt changes in ICE funding.Article by Madeleine NaumoffFilmed by Ben Leynse, Katie Istomin, Mary Caitlin CroninPhotos by Nathan EllisonEdited by Ben Leynse
