I am sure that this academic year has brought many ups and downs for all of us.

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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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.

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.

The Lamron, in case you do not know, is SUNY Geneseo’s weekly newspaper.

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.

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).

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.

Answer: Give us more seasons and stop killing our favorite characters!

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.

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? 

Disabilities or dysfluencies are often stigmatized, which then leads to people either not wanting to be diagnosed or hiding their disabilities.

Recently, Geneseo announced a series of rape aggression self-defense classes with the University Police Department (UPD)—four sessions spread throughout the month of April.

Urban Dictionary defines a Disney adult as “An adult with an intense and extreme love of The Walt Disney Company films, television shows, franchises, characters, theme parks, merchandise/ memorabilia, and/or products.” Under this definition, I am considered a Disney adult. 

At The Lamron we approach every issue, especially those close to our hearts, with purpose and urgency. This month, that commitment takes on a celebratory and meaningful note, because that’s right everyone, it’s Gaypril.

I take a special pride in being the go-to friend when someone can’t find a movie on streaming services. Whether it’s unavailable or they don’t have the platform, I can turn to my personal Criterion Collection of 166 DVDs.
