The Morning Hair Gamble: Inside Cornell’s Hair Accessory Economy
There are two types of mornings: the ones where your curls fall perfectly into place, and the ones where you stare into the mirror wondering if a braid is less of a stylistic choice and more of a survival tactic.
‘This Music May Contain Hope’ (And So Much More)
Imagine the curtains open. The stage is dark and silent except for sounds of drizzling rain and the echoing clacks of heels on cobblestone. The air smells faintly of cigarette smoke and you can hear instruments shuffling as the performers get into position. Listening to RAYE's new album This Music May Contain Hope felt just like this. At 73 minutes total, RAYE takes us back to a time when art was enjoyed and absorbed at length.
TODDINGS | Is Anxiety the Next Big Trend? The Evolution of the NeeDoh
Remember fidget spinners? Those whirling dervishes of distraction that briefly united children and annoyed teachers everywhere? Fast forward to 2025, and we've evolved from spinners to squishers, specifically the “NeeDoh” — a stress toy that's become the must-have accessory for anxious adults and fidgety students alike.
HATER FRIDAY | The ‘Severance’ Finale: I Just Don’t Get It
The finale of Severance season two causes me an aggressive exasperation that no show has achieved since. It felt half-baked, stitched together by the characters’ constant jumps to peculiar conclusions, and the final scene left me thoroughly mystified.

You were with me until Sugarfoot? Is it possible that you remember Michael Jackson’s androgynous voice, his gravity-defying dancing and his iconic beats — but don’t recognize “Sugarfoot”? Let’s try this a different way.
The Misunderstood Dorm: Sheldon Court
Every year, students need to make an important decision: deciding where to live. Whether you decide to live on North, South or West Campus, this decision will affect how the rest of your year unfolds. And no, I am not being dramatic. Before sophomore year, I requested to live in a double dormitory on West Campus. All I knew was that West Campus is where most sophomores live, and I didn’t see a point in deviating from the norm. Ironically, I ended up living by myself in a double on South Campus.
