Olivia Rodrigo spilled her GUTS on a brand new album that she wrote when she was only 19-years-old. On Sept. 8, 2023, fans finally got new music from the now 20-year-old pop star and former Disney actress. Since her first album SOUR was so highly reviewed and accredited, fans were interested to see if Rodrigo could top the success of her debut album. 

A giant of the early YouTube scene, the company Smosh—originally a sketch comedy channel started in 2005 by childhood friends Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla—was a pillar for many children in the late 2000’s and early 2010’s. The channel even reached the milestone of being the most subscribed to Youtube channel three separate times during the peak of their popularity in April 2006, April 2007, and January 2013 being the final time in which they have held that spot to the present day. 

Beginning your college journey can be an overwhelming task that requires students to learn about and adapt to new ways of living that they might have little experience with. The staff here at The Lamron has some advice to help you avoid misadventure (as best we can).

In this edition of The Lamron, we’ve created a guide of tips and tricks for first-years. This article, on the other hand, is for all you upperclassmen living off-campus looking for cheap and convenient food shopping. To begin, I would like to congratulate you on getting out of the dorms! I know firsthand that the transition from getting dining hall food to cooking your own meals can sometimes be troubling and lead to forgetting about meals, which isn’t good for anyone. Worry no more—for anyone that needs to shop for their own groceries, this article is my gift to you.

I vividly remember my early high school years, when scrunchies were coming back in fashion and items like bell-bottoms, heavily-layered hair, and thick eyeliner not-so-slowly followed suit. When asking for some of the aforementioned items for Christmas during this period, my Aunt remarked with a simple, “that’s what I wore in high school.”

I am sure everyone has heard the age old saying that “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” but how many people are actually taking this advice to heart? I am here to make the argument that this saying is important to abide by, and explain why exactly that is the case.

Being a college student brings with it a myriad of new challenges and stressors to the lives of budding young adults. One of the best ways to relieve stress and anxiety is having a pet or emotional support animal (ESA). ESAs, also known as comfort or assistance animals, are not specifically trained to perform tasks (like a service dog whose purpose is to help with certain tasks or health complications). Rather, their intended purpose is largely to bring comfort and happiness to their owner. 

To start off, if you do not know me—which most of you probably don’t—I am a freshman currently enrolled in calculus one, and really do not like doing math on a computer. I am a classic pen and paper kind of guy, so you can imagine how annoying it was when I discovered that my professor posts all assignments and homework as PDFs on Brightspace. 

Popular culture regulates the social world through avenues such as fashion, media, cuisine, and most anything that can be captured under the catch-all “lifestyle” category. Within the last decade, this baseline quantifier for what we as a community, state, nation, or even world decide to be “important” or “cool” is mostly determined by the best and worst thing since sliced bread: the internet, or more specifically, social media.

Literature has long since existed in our world dating back to Mesopotamia in 3200 BC, when people first codified laws into stone tablets. Nowadays, literature is everywhere you look, both in the more traditional published works, and in the writing of scripts for movies, video games, and even talk shows. With this influx in literature, however, has come an unceasing upturn in the banning of books. Many are surprised to find that these banned books are also some of the most famous, To Kill a Mockingbird, Fahrenheit 451, and Of Mice and Men being a few examples. 

If you have been around campus for the last few weeks, you have most certainly noticed the construction zone that currently makes up the SUNY Geneseo campus. This is largely made of three main missions for improvement: the Milne Library, the College Green, and Sturges Hall, for a variety of reasons (a few of them asbestos-related) with the ultimate goal of bettering the campus as a whole for future students. 

With several breaks over the course of the academic year, there are a select few times wherein a student is able to enjoy time away from the hustle and bustle of classes. While all breaks serve a beneficial purpose, summer break is the fourth best, following Thanksgiving, winter, and spring.

It was never completely outrageous to expect the possibility of nuclear fallout. Many games cover the topic: the Fallout series, for example, covered the possibility of cryogenics, nuclear half-life, underground bunkers, and radiated nature that is ready to kill. Perhaps that is not too far off of the realm of possibility. These are some ways to survive the nuclear fallout of the future according to movies, historical references, and games. With these rules, I wish you luck in the apocalyptic wasteland and ask you politely to refrain from killing me if we ever cross paths.
