This assortment of songs remind me of summer and the weeks leading up to summer. I put these songs together because I wanted to capture the warmer, freer, more exciting days ahead. Some songs remind me of a luxurious summer nap with the windows open, and others sound like a techno beach-side dance club.
Justin Bieber, Daniel Caesar and Giveon: Peaches
This song brings me right back to my high school senior spring. A lot was still closed down because of the pandemic, but whenever the weather hit 60 degrees I would head to the beach after school. Plus, Giveon’s verse in this song really scratches my brain in the right way.
As it gets warmer — and it has been warm — I always find myself as excited for the impending summer as I am a bit melancholic about the end of another winter. There’s a specific vibe that’s lost, and whose wavelength I can’t help but love. I tried tracing how I’ve followed that winter this year — from the neverending nights of Northern Europe, to the warm lonely Western dreariness of Los Angeles, to the frigid longing for spring inevitable in Ithaca.

The acclaimed director of Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Sciamma is not interested in antagonists propelling the narrative. Rather, she explores what could happen if the narrative moved away from conflict and the characters found themselves in agreement. Because now, the story is allowed to take any shape it desires.
Although she discloses that she has a bit of a chip on her shoulder, I find that there is an undeniable confidence to Maynard.
Every once in a while, I click on a verified creator’s story out of curiosity, and it’s always funny to see how long it takes to click through the entire story and how insignificant most of the things they choose to share are.
Asking someone to watch a film that taps into that trauma, in the hope that the difficult material will recontextualize the way they see their experience, risks just as much that it’ll set them back in grappling with said experience.
Here’s a look at some influential Cornell women whom we should be celebrating this Women’s History Month (and every month)!
Farewell, The Regal. I’ll miss your crusty butter spout, indifferent teenage employees and sense of anonymity.
