As I completed my nightly rounds of Twitter on Monday, I was disoriented when screenshots of various Princetonians being blocked by professor Robert George flooded my timeline. Eventually, I came upon the poll tweeted by George that resulted in such ruckus: “By listing their ‘preferred pronouns’ people are making sure that others know their: sex, gender [or] ideology.”

One of my best friends has a great memory, and, over the years, she has become the de facto historian of our friend group. She can remember all the important things: the shenanigans, where we were, who we were with. That kind of memory is a gift to all of her friends, and it demonstrates an important lesson for a year as tumultuous as 2020. With two vaccines for COVID-19 entering new phases of testing, a semester on campus, and a new year fast approaching, some people are justifiably itching to move on. These developments should undoubtedly be celebrated, as should the prospect of a fresh start. But, just like my friend, we cannot forget everything we have been through: Instead, should find creative and healthy ways to catalogue all that has happened in 2020.

Early in November, Harry Styles made history as the first man to have a solo feature on the cover of American Vogue magazine — but he went even further, making history while wearing a dress. There have been many pioneers of crossing clothing boundaries in the past (Prince, Elton John, or David Bowie) but Styles’ historic cover brought the fight for gender-neutral dressing to the forefront of our current cultural debate.

I would love to begin this column by saying “with the election behind us.” Yet, as of writing, the election is enduring endlessly, at least in certain quarters.

About a month ago, I was left awe-struck, hopeful, and empowered. Oct. 29 marked the conclusion of the Program in Visual Arts’s three-part webinar series, “Combahee Experimental: Black Women’s Experimental Filmmaking.” Each session brought a beautiful range of Black women in conversation with renowned curators Simone Leigh and Tina Campt. Needless to say, spending Thursday evenings hearing from visionaries like Garrett Bradley to pioneers like Angela Davis all but cured my Zoom fatigue.

It’s no secret that Princeton professors are the cream of the crop. Their teaching is routinely lauded as some of the best in the world; they have been awarded Pulitzer Prizes for their artistic collections, MacArthur Grants for their groundbreaking research, and even Nobel Prizes for their contributions to the public knowledge. And these patterns are hardly new — scholars have been producing important work from within the Orange Bubble for generations.

On Nov. 24, President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 invited all undergraduate students back on campus for the spring semester — a decision met by some with surprise and excitement, but by others with anxiety and frustration. Students were required to express their intent to live on campus by today, Dec. 3, with assignments and contracts released on Dec. 18 — which, for disabled students in particular, means an expedited and likely inequitable application process for housing accommodations.

On Nov. 19, French president Emmanuel Macron asked the French Council of the Muslim Faith to sign a charter prohibiting Islam from being politicized and restricting “foreign interference” among Muslim groups. This charter intends to prevent radical Islamists from gaining traction; Macron’s request that French Muslims accept this contract of “republican values” follows a series of terror attacks committed by French Islamists.

“Few … bend history,” Robert Kennedy said in 1966, “but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and in the total of these acts will be written the history of this generation.”

It’s finally over. After almost a year and a half of campaigning, debates, and a global pandemic thrown into the mix, the United States is preparing to welcome the Biden-Harris administration into the White House. This year saw the highest voter turnout in modern history, especially among young and minority voters.

Spontaneous interactions are rare during the COVID-19 era. Our conversations, except for those that occur with the people we live with, are decidedly deliberate. College publications ranging from The Harvard Gazette to The Daily Princetonian have highlighted college students’ loss of impromptu conversations and casual community during the pandemic.

I’m so grateful for the generous support I’ve received over the past weeks in my Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Presidential campaign. No matter the outcome, your acts of kindness, from checking in with me to telling others about my campaign, have meant the world.

Beginning today, the student body will vote on Undergraduate Student Government (USG) candidates and referenda. The Daily Princetonian Editorial Board has endorsed Allen Liu ’22 for USG President, and here endorses both referenda. The Board urges students to vote yes to both Referendum Question 1, asking the University to designate Election Day as an official holiday, and Question 2, to divest from fossil fuels and formal associations with the fossil fuel industry.

This week, students will elect either U-Council Chair Allen Liu ’22 or Academics Chair Christian Potter ’22 as the next Undergraduate Student Government (USG) president. Given Liu’s dedication to expanding mental health resources and Potter’s past failure to advocate for students, The Daily Princetonian Editorial Board endorses Allen Liu for USG President.

“We are not here to fill an aesthetic. We deserve a formal apology of accountability after Bridge Year Director John Luria willingly sent numerous BIPOC on Bridge Year to be traumatized, after daring to be Black in severely anti-Black countries.”

A little over a month ago, as the 2020 election came to a head, “October surprises” from fake news stories in the New York Post to the affairs of Senators captured attention. These scandals — real and fictional — are often used to diminish a politician’s fitness for office and tarnish their character. As Princeton students, I can guarantee we all sometimes consume scandalized news as a form of entertainment.

In a recent column, Genrietta Churbanova ’24 made a compelling argument for why the University should allow American Sign Language (ASL) classes to count for its language requirement.

Most people don’t like it when things are difficult, but many enjoy insisting that their situation is difficult regardless.

“There is something dying in our society, in our culture, and there’s something dying in us individually,” she said. “And what is dying, I think, is the willingness to be in denial.”
