For much of the past year, COVID-19 has taken all our attention, wresting focus away from urgent environmental problems — even those that the pandemic has exacerbated. Central among them is the overconsumption of single-use plastics.
After a historic victory, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and President-elect Joe Biden called for unity, as Biden inaugurated “a time to heal.”
In their first semester, Princeton first-years often face a host of academic questions. Is everyone putting off their R2s as well? Does my professor really expect me to do all of my readings and still wake up for a 9 a.m. lecture? Does anyone else’s math problem sets take them over eight hours? And, above all, where can I get help?
On Friday, Nov. 13, the Municipality of Princeton’s Health Department (PHD) reported 16 new cases of COVID-19 in the past week, adding to a two-week total of 30 new positive cases. These weekly and biweekly counts are the highest the PHD has seen since early May, when case numbers previously peaked.
“We respect the choice of the American people,” the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Friday. “We congratulate Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris.” Coming nearly a week after the Biden-Harris ticket won, China was one of the last global superpowers to recognize the incoming administration.
Upon matriculating at Princeton, I received two things in the mail: the classic black Princeton t-shirt and a copy of the pre-read, “Speak Freely.” I wasn’t the only one: the entire student body was encouraged to read the book. That’s how seriously the University takes freedom of speech — at least on the surface.
On Nov. 2, the University announced that campus laboratories can partially re-densify, with a minimum of 125 square feet per occupant. Researchers must continue to use personal protective equipment (PPE), as well as follow strict social distancing guidelines.
On Nov. 12, the Ivy League Council of Presidents made the unanimous decision that they will not be conducting athletic competitions for winter sports for the 2020–2021 academic year.
On Feb. 14, 2007, Princeton’s campus received a new, digital-age twist to traditional Valentine’s Day celebrations. Josh Weinstein ’09 launched CrushFinder, a site where students could anonymously send crushes to one another.
Before leaving home, my phone history with my parents was sparse, to say the least. Most texts between my mom and I were of the “come home now” variety, with a few “don’t stay out too late” and “where are you?” messages thrown in for good measure.
Last week, U.S. Congressman Ken Buck ’81 argued in a guest column that “divestment from fossil fuels would be a disaster,” and recommended that the University continue to “withstand [the] pressure” from student climate activists. As a proponent of divestment myself, I consider Buck’s column a win for fossil fuel divestment activists.
Monday, Oct. 12, was Indigenous Peoples’ Day. In honor of the Native inhabitants of the land that is currently known as the United States of America and in acknowledgment of the reality that Princeton’s campus occupies unceded Lenape homelands, a small group of students, faculty, and staff launched the Indigenous Studies website. For the first time, Princeton University has a dedicated virtual space for Indigenous scholarship, teaching, and research.
I scheduled an interview with James Hartley ’23, an outside hitter for the men’s volleyball team, on election night. We were both glued to our screens before the call, watching the news coverage discussing the presidential candidates. It felt like a rather inopportune time to have an interview, but it led to a very natural first question.
Today is my ninth day quarantining in a hotel. I’ve been here before — two months ago, to be exact. This is my second hotel quarantine this year; the first took place after I traveled internationally to stay with a friend before the semester began. But while that quarantine was planned, this one was spontaneous. As life would have it, once again I have found myself in an unfamiliar place, quarantining alone.
The Daily Princetonian caught up over Zoom with first-year water polo player Kaila Carroll, phoning in from her home in Connecticut. Carroll, who had a very successful high school career in her sport, discussed her experience playing water polo, beginning college and training off-campus, and her favorite ways to procrastinate.

What will football look like in the future? Follow this apparently innocuous question asked in the headline of an article on sports news site SB Nation, and you’re probably expecting a write-up of draft prospects, league policies, statistical predictions, and maybe some musings on the evolution of sports fandom. What you get, however, is Jon Bois’s “17776,” a long-form multimedia speculative fiction narrative longlisted for two Hugo Awards.
