SEX ON THURSDAYS: The (Back) End Is in Sight

Mona G.  —  Apr 25, 2013

As a graduating senior, my reign as sex columnist is too quickly coming to an end. I’ve spent four years expanding my sexual horizons with adventures such as Arts Quad building rendezvous deemed “study breaks,” woodland lovemaking (on film), girl-on-girl-on-guy action and a recent love sesh on Schoellkopf field where touchdowns were, for once, plentiful.

ROSEN: So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Dan Rosen  —  Apr 24, 2013

My freshman year, on Slope Day, I was graced with the opportunity to see a truly inspiring artist, a voice for a generation and a cultural icon. Yes, I am of course talking about Drake, the former wheelchair bound Degrassi star turned Bob-Dylan of rap.

GUEST ROOM: One Year Out

Olivia Moore an...  —  Apr 24, 2013

At the start of our final semester at Cornell, worried that time was running out to check everything off our college bucket lists, we attended the Cornell Alumni Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C. From the moment we entered the hotel, we were overwhelmed with enthusiastic, excited alumni.

SINGH: Giving Up on Europe

Kirat Singh  —  Apr 23, 2013

The economic crisis in the Eurozone has progressed to a point at which it is impossible to follow and understand. A nebulous, parasitic presence, it more closely resembles a disease the continent is slowly learning to live with rather than one for which there is a cure. One need only glance at the Financial Times’ aggregation of stories about the crisis to realize the absurdity at play.

GUEST ROOM: Life in the Real World: Playing the Terminator

Hazel Gun  —  Apr 23, 2013

I’m lazy. Really lazy. But I want a lot out of life. I want a huge house and a lifetime of lavish vacations. I never bothered to think about how I would get any of this because so far, my life has been a cakewalk. When I graduated, my parents gently shoved me out of the nest, but I wasn’t worried about financing my fancy lifestyle.

THOMAS: Inter-faction Mingling

Deon Thomas  —  Apr 23, 2013

For my last column of the semester I’m going to have to speak about what seems to be the current “hot topic” at Cornell: Greek life. Recently everything about Greek life has been questioned from its diversity to its very existence.

 On Monday, The Sun hosted its second-ever Daily Sun Dialogue: Beyond the Byline.

KARR-KAITIN: Goodbye, Cornell

Noah Karr-Kaitin  —  Apr 22, 2013

Coming home this past Monday to news that there had been a bombing in Boston, I experienced a wide range of emotions. 

As a Bostonian at Cornell, I’ve always felt like something of an oddity. There are a fair number of us here, but having never lived outside of Massachusetts, Ithaca seemed like a far cry from the city I called home.
