This week in The Lamron…
Kayla Storie is a senior socio-medical and biology double major and an emergency medical technician (EMT) on the Geneseo campus. She is also the Chief of Operations of Geneseo First Response (GFR); “Chief of Operations for us is kind of the overarching term for the person who looks after and oversees all the other e-board positions.” Storie explains that her position “spans across clinical and non-clinical operations of our management, and then also just communication with teams that aren't our own.”
With registration season passing us by, many students across the campus have been stressed about getting into the courses they need to graduate. Some students even balance the requirements of multiple majors and/or minors on top of general education requirements. This especially becomes stressful for seniors seeking to graduate in May, who are trying to avoid having to take intersession or summer courses —or even worse— stay an extra semester to finish their needed courses. As a student body, it is pertinent that we have the classes we need across all disciplines and levels to guarantee that students are able to keep their education on track.
Dear Minerva,
How do I work up the courage to ask questions? Or even just how do I overcome the fear of reaching out?
Sincerely,
Nervy!
This Saturday, Nov. 16, Geneseo Women’s Soccer traveled to Cambridge, Massachusetts, to play in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III Tournament. Unfortunately, the Knights lost against the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a final score of 3-1. Although they lost, Geneseo put up an impressive and entertaining fight against the Engineers.
Concerts have always allowed people to bond over their love for an artist or band and enjoy their live music. Over the years, popular artists have booked stadiums, selling thousands of tickets for each tour date. Naturally, this has decreased proper concert etiquette, yet people still preach how they are the “perfect attendees.”

As the holiday season is approaching, deciding which presents are the best to put on your list as a college student is important. Whether transferring to a different dorm or moving into an off-campus apartment, these items may make a great addition to your holiday wishlist.
Around campus, you might have seen professors, college students, and other staff alike toting around Safe Zone stickers, pledging that they have completed training under the program.

Dear Minerva,
I am feeling a bit worried after the election results. I have applied to a bunch of out of state graduate programs and am feeling unsure about the economic impact this may have on me. I am being told not to act due to fear but it is difficult as I feel like my future is at stake. What do you think I should do?

Different people prepare for the cold weather in different ways. For some, buying new coats and fur boots is the pricey way to go. For others, a mantle of warm lights and chunky blankets is necessary to get their home in the holiday spirit. As for me, icy temperatures call for a new seasonal playlist— to be cliche: “when sleigh bells ring, it is time we listen.”
What do Disney characters such as Rapunzel from Tangled (2010), Anna from Frozen (2013), Mirabel from Encanto (2021), and Moana from Moana (2016) all have in common? Not a lot —actually— except for being young, female, 3D-animated leads. These characters originate from different cultures and experience unique upbringings and family dynamics. With all that being true, why is it hard for many to distinguish between their personalities?
