Working a customer service job, especially food service, is rough. However, those food service workers help our campus—and communities—run. College students basically survive on caffeine; we know our Starbucks workers are tired.
On the day of this issue’s publication, Feb. 20, the managing editing staff of the SUNY-wide literary journal Gandy Dancer are hosting their first ever open mic night in the Union’s fireside lounge from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. Following the news that the magazine will now be accepting submissions of music to feature on the official Gandy Dancer website, this event offers Geneseo students the opportunity to share their poems, short stories, and, of course, their music.
Almost everyone who has indulged in the world of film and literature has come across romantic tropes such as enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, forbidden love, codependency, captor and prisoner, and unrequited yearning. The undebatable success of books and movies where these tropes are present seems pretty standard; however, when you break down the reasoning behind it, it is clear that it goes deeper than entertainment.

Last month, Cassiopea andromeda, more commonly known as the upside-down jellyfish, were found to have similar sleep patterns to humans—but they do not have brains. Like humans, Cassiopea andromeda were shown to operate according to circadian rhythm, and have an increasing need to rest the longer they are awake. As Bec Crew explains in Australian Geographic, Cassiopea andromeda is “a one-of-a-kind creature that prefers to float arms-up, with its bell resting on the sea floor,” making it unique from other jellyfish.

Sports
Last year, the Buffalo Sabres went on a dismal 13-game losing streak, finishing second to last in their division, and missing the playoffs for the 14th consecutive year. This year, they have become one of the more exciting teams to watch, and as of the Olympic break, they are actively competing for a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. How did this turnaround happen, and so quickly after many wrote off the 2025-2026 campaign?

Opinion
I have recently come to the unfortunate conclusion that we might be completely screwed. I do not want to be cynical or pessimistic; I do not want us to become discouraged to the point of inaction. But I do wonder how we could possibly move forward from where we are now—how we can reckon with the impact of Donald Trump on our institutions and our political (and moral) culture and values.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe, better known as the MCU, is well-known for action-packed scenes and the high-stakes battles that the superhero protagonists must fight. However, what makes the MCU so interesting is how their world is pretty much identical to ours, just with a couple alien invasions. It is filled with everyday people who are just trying to live their normal lives, even though magic powers and super villains occasionally get in the way. This is what the latest Marvel series, Wonder Man (2026), centers upon.
