Picture this: the buzzer just sounded for the University of Maryland v. Colorado State University March Madness game. Camera angles zoom in on CSU players snot-nosed, teary eyed, violently group-hugging in an intensely boy manner — mostly dap-ups lost within a symphony of “bro’s” and other love confessions. But the second that the video stops rolling, Niko Medved turns to the crowd and says, “It isn’t over yet, bitches.”

There is nothing remotely freeing about April 2, the day Donald Trump coined “Liberation Day” by signing an executive order implementing tariffs on about 60 countries worldwide. Despite his intentions, the only things being liberated are the bills from our wallets and the success of the stock market.
As much as I love the second half of the spring semester — the warm and fresh weather boosts my mood, work ethic and overall vibe —registering for classes definitely brings unneeded stress to my already stressful life. Not only am I sent into a vicious cycle of worrying about what classes I need and then worrying because they’re not offered, but I frequent one website more often than Canvas, Gmail or ChatGPT (jokes, jokes) combined: Rate My Professors.
It is sickening to think that an alternate universe without diversity, equity and inclusion policies on Colorado State University campus is an entirely plausible one. Despite student protests, petitions and stale reassurances from the CSU administration, we are already regressing into a campus completely rid of any diversity, equity or inclusion.
It may appear as though Colorado State University has discussed the recent diversity, equity and inclusion changes sweeping across the country, but let me remind you: The CSU administration is not addressing these executive orders; they're rolling them over.

Several years ago, I first saw this video of Angelina Jolie receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2013 Governors Awards, a ceremony by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that recognizes various actors’ achievements. I’m not particularly moved by award show speeches; I don’t particularly watch award shows.

The beginning of Donald Trump's presidency has regrettably been marked by one of the most deadly and tragic U.S. aviation disasters since 2001: the Jan. 29 Washington, D.C., plane collision.

The product of my New Year’s resolutions — and likely yours — is a girl I do not recognize. She is ambitious in the same way I was Dec. 31, with a laundry list of goals and affirmations, but she does not carry the laziness and doubt that prevented 2024 me from completing them.
