Here at The Lamron, we have been discussing ways to maintain our happiness during these difficult times. We have compiled some tips and tricks we have found useful in past winter seasons, which may prove to be essential in the months ahead.

We all know someone, or may even be the person, who uses ChatGPT for every assignment. Cheating done by college students is one thing—but when professors rely on generative AI such as ChatGPT, it's a bigger issue.

An impenetrable darkness hugs me, interrupted only by the fluorescence of lamposts, which sparsely illuminate the pools of water coalesced in the dips of the sidewalk. The pavement is black and slick, and the white light reflecting in the water glistens and shifts as I hurriedly walk home.

As I am sure some Lamron readers may be aware—particularly those who fall victim to the siren song of the doomscroll—a right-wing extremist by the name of Lilly Gaddis, who first gained attention on social media for using a racial slur in a cooking video on TikTok, recently did an entire stream in blackface.

During almost every Thanksgiving dinner, families and friends gather to eat, laugh, and pretend that everyone gets along with one another, all of which are basic expectations. But there is one particular staple at every Thanksgiving dinner that I believe should never, by any means, be ignored: the kids’ table.

As of last week? Hell.

I am sure we have all been asked at some point: what superpower, if you could have any, would you choose? I take this question very seriously, and I believe we are due for a serious review of all superpower options.

Throughout the course of his campaign and after his win, current mayor-elect of New York City Zohran Mamdani has captured the attention of people far beyond the city's borders.

As finals season approaches, discussions have been circulating in The Lamron office about the importance of using resources offered, specifically the various SUNY Geneseo “Learning Centers.” These resources offer another opportunity for students to excel in their classes, but they are often overlooked or not widely-known.

As part of 2025’s holiday season launch, Starbucks stores across the country collaborated with Sanrio and their iconic Hello Kitty character to create some of the cutest merchandise customers have seen in quite some time.

Many of the participants were Geneseo students, which may lead some to believe that these students are involved in the student group PAG, but this would be false; the group currently has only four executive board members and less than 10 weekly attendees.

I never thought in a million years that I would say I love working with kids. Working with kids can be extremely exhausting and I never saw myself in that role at any point of my life. That all changed after I started my new summer job.

Historical conservation is increasingly important to accurately represent history, especially with so many in power trying to rewrite it, and it is something we all must pay greater attention to, both here in Geneseo and beyond.

As we enter the winter months, it becomes more and more difficult to remember everything we love about being at Geneseo. Stress from classes, colder weather, and earlier sunsets can make us feel overwhelmed and overtired. It is important in these moments to remind ourselves of what makes us happy to be here, so here is a list of some of the things that bring me joy here at Geneseo!

Halloween is here, which means that we are about to see some showstopping costumes. I love seeing the people who go all out, get creative, and absolutely crush the costume game. From couples costumes, to group costumes, to a little solo moment, I have put together a list of costumes that I am hoping to see this year.
