If you only had an hour to live, how would you remember your life? That is the fundamental question that I AM GOING TO DIE (And All They Gave Me Were These Lousy Cupcakes) attempts to answer. Presented by LibLab Productions as a part of the Old Greeny Fringe Festival, a week-long fringe festival that celebrates the legend of the Old Greeny cryptid of Cayuga Lake, I AM GOING TO DIE (And All They Gave Me Were These Lousy Cupcakes) is a one-act improvisational play that relies on an interactive audience. The play, written by Lochlan MacLean and February Schneck, was conceived after MacLean was diagnosed with terminal cancer, which led them to reevaluate their conceptions of life and death. The original idea for the play centered on a character who changed with each performance, and after MacLean’s passing, Schneck carried it to its current form. The early conceptions of the play shine through: The plot is entirely dependent on audience choice, while the underlying theme of how we consider life in the face of death is the driving force of the show.

You’re studying in Olin Library when a Gmail notification banner pops up: “ONE WEEK AWAY: Cornell Career Fair Days All Industries Fair.” Or maybe it’s a hiring representative from your dream company, notifying you of an interview request. Regardless, you know you have to dress the part — after all showing up in gray sweatpants and a hoodie is unlikely to make the best impression.

Has it ever felt like no matter how well you slept the night before, how much coffee you drink or how much water you consume throughout the day, your concentration still fades after just 20 minutes of work? You are not alone. In addition to sleep and hydration, where you choose to study really matters. By this, I do not mean that you should be in your room, a private library carrel or a cafe. Of course those places can help, but fulfilling those conditions does not guarantee sustained focus.

There’s nothing worse than the last slog of finals. You’re stressed, you have an insane amount of work and you somehow have to score a 98% in order to finish with a B+. Our campus practically becomes a pressure cooker. Safe to say, we need ways to relax. Now, I’m not opposed to doomscrolling; however, when I end up on TikTok for a ‘quick break,’ hours fly by, and I end up procrastinating. The nice thing about movies is their set runtime, providing a real boundary for a study break.

Finals are never a happy time for students at Cornell University. Between cramming for impossible tests and rushing to finish end-of-year projects, we often forget that our studies have brought us much better things than pain. Especially in those courses where final papers are expected instead of multiple choice exams, we can be exposed to new ideas and wonderful language through books. These books, though required for class, can become all-time favorites. In order to shed some light during these dark times of endless studying, here are some of the best books your fellow Cornellians have found on their syllabi.

The Ithaca Commons is home to many different businesses that showcase the identity of the Tompkins County community. Local stores, restaurants, cafes, bars and shops populate the colorful streets of the Commons and emphasize the town's culture. While I walk past these establishments, there are only so many that I can say I have truly experienced. One Ithaca Commons establishment I have always been intrigued by is the Yellow Deli.

A few weeks ago, I was scrolling on Instagram when an earthy green post caught my eye. In bold cursive was the word “Campogatto,” over a picture of a matcha latte topped with what looked like pink cold foam. Immediately, I was intrigued: What exactly was a Campogatto? A look at the caption revealed that the topping was strawberry ice cream, a twist on the classic Affogato dessert (vanilla ice cream or gelato with a shot of espresso).

For many mechanical engineers of the Cornell College of Engineering, 125 Upson Hall is a home for academic advising. But in addition to advising resources, the room is also a space for MechE students to connect with their community and discover the magic of two small, pink, glow-in-the-dark creatures: axolotls.*

Amid a mix of reactions, both positive and negative, to the release of this year’s Slope Day headliner, I thought it would be interesting to look back upon Slope Day performers of the past. After cherry-picking 10 different past artists and some of their most famous songs, I leave it up to you to decide if the grass is truly greener on the other side, or, in this case, in another time.

The stage was set. It was 364 days since men’s lacrosse defeated Princeton to win the 2025 Ivy League Men’s Lacrosse Tournament. If the Red wanted to kick off its postseason campaign with the same magic as last year, it would need a mirror performance.

On April 1, the Supreme Court heard arguments from Solicitor General D. John Sauer, who claimed that children, born of undocumented immigrants or temporary residents, physically in the United States at the time of birth, are not entitled to American citizenship. American Civil Liberties Union lawyer Cecilia Wang, on behalf of those rebuking President Trump’s efforts to overturn the Constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship, advanced that the narrowed definition of “domiciled” offered by the solicitor general on behalf of President Trump was an aside in the preceding cases which guide the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment’s birthright citizenship clause. The proceedings occurred after President Trump signed Executive Order 14160, titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” The order seeks to exclude only unauthorized immigrants and those with temporary legal status from being eligible for birthright citizenship. However, Executive Orders do not have the authority to amend the Constitution; only Congress has the power to propose Amendments. This makes the interpretative claim raised, a matter for The Supreme Court, which would need to narrow the definition of “domiciled,” silently overturning decades of precedent.

During finals, a particular kind of silence settles over campus. Thousands of students lean forward into the same posture: slightly tense, aware that something important is about to happen. From the outside, it looks like a moment of evaluation, with a clear beginning and an end. But sitting there, we all know that something more complicated is unfolding.
