As we settle deeper into the fall semester, new students are starting to find their footing here at Cornell, discovering things like knowing when to catch the TCAT 81 in the mornings and when not to go to Okenshields. Another thing that freshmen are trying to discover is their own personal style.
Since the dawn of civilization, specifically in the European sphere, marriage has been the ultimate expectation for women. Across centuries and across the world, girls have been forced into marriage through regular societal pressure and pure business interests from their fathers. The notion that a woman would not want to get married was unheard of and deeply resented by the patriarchy. Those who abstained from marriage were ostracized. Society has convinced millions of women that a wedding day is the most important day of their lives.

On June 21, House of the Dragon Season 3 premiered; those 76 minutes saw a main character's death, a half-hour-long battle, dragons killing each other and endless bloodshed. While this seems normal for a Game of Thrones adjacent show, it is not normal for the first episode of a season, nor HOTD in general. Season 2’s function was to build the story and anticipation, and there weren't as many flashy dramatic moments as GOT viewers were used to, especially in its last episode. That season was less enjoyable to watch, which is why it was so great that the first episode of Season 3 was exactly what it needed to be: energy level 100. That momentum didn’t hold as episodes three to seven slowed to a crawl, and then episode eight was surprisingly eventful. That whiplash started my thoughts on season-wide story pacing, and how structure has a significant effect on a story’s impact. HOTD, GOT and Supernatural each pace their seasons in very different, distinct ways, and comparing them can make clear what approach is favorable for a convincing story.
It felt like I had just gotten used to being back at Cornell when I was met with the jarring realization that it was already time to start looking at off-campus housing for the next year. I currently live in an apartment with three friends, but we don’t anticipate living in the same place again, which meant that the search was on. I’m certainly not alone in this situation, and apartment hunting can be a stressful and time-consuming process for many.

The Uprising immerses you in medieval England while simultaneously keeping you at arm’s length from its affairs. The story covers the Peasants' Revolt, set in the aftermath of the Black Death. Following the advice of his council, a young King Richard II levies a poll tax, a fixed tax on everyone over a certain age, disproportionately affecting the peasantry, to fund war with France. An exasperated farmer, known only as Ploughman (Andrew Garfield), who lost his entire family to the plague, violently rebuffs the tax collectors’ demands and stirs outrage over the crown’s treatment of his community. As this unrest spreads across villages, Ploughman joins forces with John Ball (Jamie Bell), a rebel preacher, and Wat Tyler (Cosmo Jarvis) to lead the rebellion to London and petition the king for fairer treatment. Although they eventually reach London and face the king, the movement ultimately descends into chaos amid betrayal and unrest.
As of this week, Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” has been atop the Billboard Hot 100 for 23 weeks, surpassing Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” and securing Langley the record for longest running No. 1 single in U.S. history. The Generation Z artist has made a rapid rise to stardom in the last several years, gaining major popularity through only two studio albums: hungover (2024) and Dandelion (2026). Langley has even amassed a significant fanbase of young men who proudly profess themselves as “Ella’s Fellas.”

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes from knowing you are meant to do something and still being unable to figure out how to do it. You open one website, which sends you to another. You search for the right form, realize you need a document you did not know existed and eventually find yourself waiting on hold with an office that is overwhelmed with people asking the same questions.
The camera lingers on an empty doorway. We gaze into the darkness beyond, anticipating the horrors that lurk within, before a monstrous threat emerges. No, this isn’t Barbarian (2022). It’s not Weapons (2025) either. This is Resident Evil (2026) — not to be confused with Resident Evil (2002) or any other media with the same name.
In a faraway land called North Campus, a freshman is filming a series of TikToks in their Mary Donlon Hall dorm room, hoping to ride the For You Page all the way to virality. Elsewhere, another member of the Class of 2030 is looking around Cornell’s gorge-ous campus and thinking, “Wow, I should turn this into a brand deal.” They wouldn’t be the first to try, and they certainly won’t be the last.
