Under Donald Trump’s vision of a Colorado town, Aurora approximately 70 miles from Fort Collins, violent crime by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua rapidly spreads. Bigger than the gang’s arrested members and their past presence in an apartment complex, the town of Aurora has quickly become a national talking point in an aggressively anti-migrant and anti-immigrant agenda.

Most people remember playing with toys when they were kids. There are memories of brightly colored blocks being stacked, toy dolls going on action-packed adventures and coloring books with pictures colored outside the lines. Even the simplest things could be toys like paper folded into airplanes or fortune tellers.

For many young people, having sex is much easier than talking about it. It can often feel awkward to bring up sexual desires in conversation with a sexual partner or partners, but it is an essential part of developing a positive sexual relationship, not only with your partner but also with yourself.

Picture this: It’s 9 a.m., and you are walking to your first class of the day. The sun is out, but it’s still early enough in the morning that the heat won’t make you drown in a pool of your own sweat.

It seems that it is getting harder to compete with CU Boulder’s image. Last year, Boulder became the subject of mass media attention after hiring Deion Sanders, which shifted the public perception of CU as a whole. Initially, it didn’t seem as though Sanders would change a lot for Colorado State University other than the talent of our football competitors, until the rest of the nation started to take an extreme interest.
Where do I begin? The community you provide for students at Colorado State University is undeniably the best. With opportunities to go to the mountains, hang out in Old Town and even attend classes right in the heart of the city is amazing.

Jumping on TikTok trends? Not very cutesy, not very mindful — definitely not demure. The TikTok community has been buzzing since the term demure first made its debut, using it with every opportunity they get. While many find this trend to be entertaining, I find it rather irritating.

Having a first-year roommate is an infamous part of the college experience. I heard a story from almost every adult in my life about who they got saddled with the summer before I left to attend Colorado State University. While I did hear a fair share of sweet or funny stories, others were downright horrifying. And in the end, I was left wondering why students are made to endure such bizarre living conditions.

When many of us graduated high school and made the decision to go away for college, we all likely heard the same phrase thrown at us: “you are going to find newfound independence when you get to school.” To some who heard it, I imagine they thought it meant that they were going to go to all the parties, be curfew-free, eat anything and everything that want, maybe not clean their room and maybe not even go to class every day. And they may not be wrong.

I’m all for a good doomscroll, and I love bed rotting as much as the next girl. In the rotation of apps I use to waste my time, TikTok is a constant and a staple. I used to predominantly consume what I deemed genuine content: cooking videos or cute animals or even brain rot that was admittedly stupid yet deeply captivating.

Many students in high school are checked out of the learning game, but the current approach to get them back in isn’t working. The problem that needs to be addressed is not making kids invest in the world — it's making them want to.

Moving into the dorms can be incredibly exciting, especially for first-year students who are living on their own for the first time. There are countless new freedoms that come with living in a college dorm, one of which is the opportunity for new levels of sexual exploration and experimentation.
