Read MoreWTF should we listen to during spooky month?
Halloween is here, or at least we’ve entered the month-long event referred to lovingly as Spooktober. In the interest of self-preservation or the maintenance of whatever scraps remain of our sanity as a result of 2020, we’ll be throwing ourselves into the holiday and its macabre acceptance of misery with every ounce of our beings.

Read MoreVintage Drive-In Theatre in Avon offers safe night out in COVID times
We all miss socializing, even the most introverted among us, but in our current situation, there is little to do to rectify this dilemma without endangering others’ lives. That said, most of us have formed bubbles—small friend groups in which interaction is limited to those inside the group— to survive the crushing weight of loneliness.
Read More“Doctor Who” produces lower quality episodes due to change in writers, causes fans to be less invested in newer seasons
“Doctor Who” is a long-running show beloved by many. The show began in the sixties and rapidly became a favorite throughout the decades. Despite the low budget and low-quality special effects of the time, the Doctor and his adventures have always been entertaining to watch.
Read MoreCame for Henry Cavill, stayed for the unexpected feminism in Enola Holmes (2020)
I’d be lying if I said that my housemates and I watched Enola Holmes (2020)—a movie that, we assumed based on the trailers, would follow the adventures of a “pick me girl” and contain dialogue riddled with internalized misogyny—for any reason other than Henry Cavill.
Read MoreBetween the Lines a cappella group fosters welcoming environment even over zoom calls
The current pandemic and subsequent guidelines have forced people at Geneseo to get creative and find new ways to continue to have fun, memorable experiences within reasonable boundaries and restrictions.

Typical Literary Forum events take place in a cozy room on Geneseo’s campus where students, faculty and other interested parties can slump into comfortable chairs and listen in awe to the event’s guest speaker.

Read MoreWTF were the 2020 Emmys?
Devoted award show spectators will readily admit that funny, socially cognizant award ceremonies are few and far between. This year, due to the enduring transmissible elephant in the room, the 2020 Emmys were conducted virtually with the exception of a few guest stars and the host of the program, Jimmy Kimmel. Some entertainment critics enjoyed the award show, citing the celebration’s focus on Black individuals and essential workers as evidence of its quality.
Read MoreMulan loses message of empowerment, inadvertently enforces gender roles
2020’s Mulan is, without a doubt, the least enjoyable movie experience I’ve had so far in this year. I thought that The Rise of Skywalker might take the gold with its convoluted plot, or perhaps Anastasia: Once Upon a Time, a half-serious movie that features a time-travelling Rasputin brainwashed by Vladimir Lenin to hunt down the titular Romanov princess in 1980s Wisconsin.
