Genevieve Smith, certified herbalist and kitchen production worker at Golden Poppy Herbal Apothecary in Fort Collins, mixes together an immune chai tea blend March 20. “I love having the ability to take my health into my own hands, as well as having these tools accessible to help my family and friends,” Smith said when asked why she enjoys being an herbalist. Smith also recounted that part of what she loves about herbalism and holistic medicine is that it is not a “one-size-fits-all” mentality.

The Collegian’s March 9, 2023, edition, Vol. 132, No. 24, incorrectly listed Falyn Sebastian as the author of a Letter to the Editor in the opinion section on page 16 and incorrectly listed the Twitter handle as “@lowercasetwitter.” The article was written by a guest author, notated as such on the bottom of that story, and the Twitter handle should have read “@csucollegian.”

Jason Gorbett, owner of Songbyrd Records, smiles while holding David Bowie’s “Aladdin Sane,” one of his favorite artist’s albums March 18. “When I was a teenager, I had some pretty rough times, and music really saved my life,” Gorbett said. “Local record stores were places that I could go that were safe, where I could learn about things, where I could meet other weirdos like me and discover the world.” Gorbett sees great importance in continuing to keep vinyl and record stores alive in our society because “they transcend time and space and culture. … They are the universal ambassadors of joy,” Gorbett said.
