Staff Ed: The Lamron’s summer media recommendations
This summer, The Lamron’s talented e-board spent a lot of time engaging with our favorite pieces of media. Whether it be the latest hit movie or a thrilling book, we kept our minds busy during the break. After some reflection, here are some of our favorites!
Five things that have been aggravating me lately
As this semester begins, I have taken a lot of time to reflect on what truly annoys me in life. You may be wondering why I would take time out of my day to do this; well, it brings me some sense of relief to know that I am justified in getting annoyed over these things:
Batman is better than Iron Man
One of the longest running debates among comic book fans, casual and hardcore alike, is the question of which ‘billionaire-playboy-genius’ superhero is better.
The Cheez-It vs. Goldfish debate
Among my favorite snacks are the savory cheddar crackers that we all know and love. Now, I know what you’re thinking: which cheddar crackers am I talking about?
Practicing radical gratitude
I am sure that this academic year has brought many ups and downs for all of us.
Staff Ed: The Lamron Wrapped
What an academic year it has been! In between all the countless fun-filled events on Geneseo’s campus, the amazing peers and professors we have met, and everything we have been learning, we have all managed to make some time for our favorite campus newspaper, The Lamron. Our newspaper staff is all set to wrap up the year with some final thoughts on our favorite Lamron memories.
Bearing witness as writers, readers, and editors
In my final articles with The Lamron, I’ve been thinking a lot about what the work I do at Geneseo—as an editor, as a writer, as a student of language and literature—means to me.
Your passion project sucks, and it should
For the last two years, I’ve sunk every ounce of free time into Sunflower Story Hour, a paranormal audio drama that aired on 89.3 WGSU.
All good college friendships form by chance
Attending college can be both intimidating and exciting for many different reasons. Personally, I experienced a lot of fear and uncertainty when it came to finding new friends. For those who prefer not to go out or attend large campus events, it can seem like you will never find a friend group.
Staff Ed: Reflecting on our favorite parts of our majors
Well, Geneseo, April is coming to a close. Approaching what we at The Lamron have lately been referring to as “end of semester purgatory,” we wanted to strengthen our resolve by reminding ourselves of the things we love most about what we study.
Things that bring me joy
If you are a regular reader of The Lamron, you might have noticed that my last article got a little bit negative. For that, I sincerely apologize. With finals on their way, I think we have had enough of that attitude, and we could all use a bit of joy.
The cause and cost of fast fashion
By 2026, the issue we call “fast fashion” is known around the world. Our generation is especially familiar with this term due to the way that we interact with the climate and the world around us.
Why you should join The Lamron!
The Lamron, in case you do not know, is SUNY Geneseo’s weekly newspaper.
Stop using dogs as an accessory
For years, I have been angered by people purchasing animals—especially dogs—unethically, or without allocating the proper time and resources to owning an animal.
When Harry Met Sally (1989): one of the best romantic comedies ever
With the recent passing of the beloved and highly respected director, Rob Reiner, I decided to sit down and rewatch one of his most praised movies, When Harry Met Sally (1989).
If you care enough, you can always make time
Like many Geneseo students, I find my schedule to be constantly full of club meetings, executive board duties, part time jobs, sorority events, hangouts with friends, and of course homework.
Question: What are The Lamron’s hot takes on popular media?
Answer: Give us more seasons and stop killing our favorite characters!
Things that upset me
It’s time for a moment of transparency: I am running out of ideas here. Due to that unfortunate truth, you will not be receiving a highly political article from me this week; instead, I thought it might be time to inform everyone of all the things they’re doing that annoy me.
Fuel your brains: stop using AI
You are probably constantly seeing the phrase “fuel your bodies” everywhere. Often, it refers to the way that we fuel our bodies, whether that be from the foods we eat or the exercise we partake in. But what about the way we fuel our minds?
