If you use social media as addictively as I do, you have likely seen the new trend among avid water drinkers. The Stanley Cup—which is not to be mistaken with the National Hockey League Championship award—is the new “it girl” on the water bottle scene.

I know, I know; I am three and a half years late to have an opinion on the subject, but after watching Game of Thrones for the first time over the course of six months, I have a strong point of view on the conclusion of the show. While I am definitely a minority in my overall approval towards the ending, there were certain elements I did not initially know how to interpret. 

As we roll into the holiday season, Main Street is decked out in garland and lights, stores are having deals, and radio stations are playing Christmas music. On Thanksgiving I watched Miracle on 34th Street with my family to kick off the Christmas season, and the opening scene showed Santa walking down a street in New York City. He stopped to critique a store owner arranging his window decorations; Santa claimed that the store clerk had the order of the reindeer mixed up, and that there was a very specific order that the reindeer must be in to pull his sleigh. It got me thinking: does Santa have favorite reindeer? And if so, which ones are they?

Finals can be one of the most stressful times in any college student’s life, but there are ways to deal with stress. Not all ways of dealing with stress are healthy, so here are some stress relievers that are safe and The Lamron approved.

With final exams coming soon, it is almost impossible to not feel a sense of anxiety or worry. Whether it be an exam, presentation, or final essay, many people have utilized different strategies to study for these finals. 

Adulting is the worst—and yes, “adulting” is a real word. Adulting is an informal noun that is defined by Oxford Languages as “the practice of behaving in a way characteristic of a responsible adult, especially the accomplishment of mundane but necessary tasks”. Within this definition, however, there is no age at which one has to start adulting, so let us discuss this matter. 

As many know, Drake and 21 Savage released their collaborative album Her Loss on Nov. 4.  This album includes their song “CircoLoco,” which has prompted backlash from fans, entertainment figures, and Megan Thee Stallion herself, for its alleged reference and invalidation of her shooting incident with Tory Lanez. Many interpreted the line, “This [explicit] lie ‘bout gettin’ shots but she still a stallion,” to be calling out Megan—claiming she lied about being shot by Lanez. Others claim it refers to women lying about getting cosmetic injections; regardless, the song has stirred up controversy and uplifted a toxic culture of invalidating Black women’s trauma.

As we finally enter the season of cool weather, many of us start reaching for our favorite warm beverages. In this article, I will be judging you based on what your beverage of choice is. This is nothing personal—but if you get offended, that only confirms how right I am.

*Trigger warning: Mention of eating disorders and other medical issues*

If you are hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, you are probably thinking about what you are going to serve, but there may be someone in your life who has issues regarding food, and you don’t want to exclude them. You want them to come celebrate, but you are unsure as to how you can adequately include them. Dietary limitations can include anything from food allergies to gastrointestinal issues to eating disorders. The following are some suggestions as to how to handle these types of situations. The solutions offered in this article may not work for everyone, but these suggestions come from a person with limited food intake due to health issues and a place of good intentions. 

We are lucky to live in the modern age where, if you are hungry, there are plenty of options. In Geneseo alone, the options range from the cafes on Main Street, to several pizza places, and even places such as McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and Burger King that are just up the road. While fast-food restaurants often receive a bad reputation, without them, our fast-paced world would quickly spiral into chaos if there were no places that could fix up your food in just a couple of minutes. 

On Oct. 27 2022, after months of public deliberation and financial trading, Elon Musk, the billionaire chief executive officer of the SpaceX and Tesla companies and long-time internet personality, finally bought Twitter—and chaos ensued. The internet’s opinion of Musk veered largely in the negative direction over the past few years, as his “entrepreneurial spirit” has revealed itself to be more sinister than genuine; multiple journalists have investigated violations of labor rights and efforts to prevent workers from unionizing.
