Chat GPT is a new artificial intelligence chatbot produced in late 2022. Now used by millions of people, this program can provide detailed responses to complex questions about any topic in a matter of seconds.
After its quick rise in usage and notoriety, it’s become a regular resource for students and professors at universities across the nation. Many professors have incorporated Chat GPT into their classes and have been teaching students how to use it, while some people worry that this technology will make it easy for students to cheat on their assignments and tests.

Every March, student-athletes compete in the NCAA Division I basketball tournaments to determine the best Men's and Women’s college basketball teams in the country.
The first-ever NCAA Division I basketball tournament took place in 1939 and saw the University of Oregon Ducks defeat the Ohio State University Buckeyes to become the first national champion. March Madness is one of those sporting events that feels so ingrained in American culture.
Fort Collins is home to many mom-and-pop shops for you to peruse, especially in Old Town. If your family comes up to visit, Old Town is the first place you want to show off aside from campus.
The plethora of goodies to be found in these shops come from all over, but it is so special to find something that speaks to you and then learn that it comes from a local artist or craftsperson.
When the clocks jumped forward an hour in November, I heard talk that Colorado had voted for daylight savings times to no longer be an issue that plagued the state. Despite the bill being passed for Colorado to have year-round daylight savings, the chances of it being enacted soon lessen as it is more challenging than originally perceived. What would a time changeless state would actually look like?
There are only two states in the entire United States that do not have daylight savings times constantly rotating, most of Arizona and all of Hawaii.
The months of Jan. through March are notorious for being the season of depression, where spirits are low and the jovial times of summer feel like a distant memory.
After the conclusion of the holiday season, many people experience seasonal depression where they feel dejected, fatigued and hopeless. However, we do not have to subject ourselves to feelings of depression as there are simple measures we can take to help alleviate our mental health issues.
Recently an episode of “The Last of Us,” a show based on a popular video game with the same name streaming on HBO, showed the two main characters arriving at the campus of the "University of Eastern Colorado,” the “Home of the Big Horns.”
Many fans of the show speculated that this was a nod to Colorado State University and our beloved CAM the Ram, and the official Colorado State University Instagram and Twitter accounts posted about the possible wink toward our campus.
College is often thought of as an exciting time with new freedoms and independence. However, over the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of college students experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety.
In a recent study done by The American Institute of Stress, 8 out of 10 college students have said they experience “high levels” of stress, while 60% of students also reported high levels of anxiety.
Colorado State University students implement a wide variety of transportation methods into their daily lives.
For the most part, CSU is proud of its bike-friendly campus, which contains several different bike lanes and routes designed to keep riders safe. Although bikes and other simpler methods of getting to and from campus and beyond are often in the spotlight or praised by the community, it is the bus system that truly deserves a piece of this positive recognition.
Feb. is the dedicated month to celebrating Black heritage and culture and how it has positively impacted American society.
It is easy to see the reminders on social media and in the public sphere about the celebration of Black History this month, but do we take the time throughout the year to actively appreciate the impact Black Americans have had on our society as a whole?
If you shopped at any grocery store recently, you probably noticed the ridiculous inflation of prices for everyday food items such as eggs, milk and bread. A quick stop at any store for a few items can easily turn into an expensive ordeal. It feels like forever since I have been able to keep the bill under $20.
The issue affects people nationwide, with the average American spending an extra $72.01 a month on groceries. Many people are feeling the strain on their finances and are forced to be more frugal with their purchases.
Nowadays, many students struggle to pay attention in class or aimlessly scroll their phones while attempting to do homework. They often lack the ability to focus on one thing for extended periods of time and are easily distracted by any disruption.
One of the explanations for the decreasing attention span of people is a technology and social media specifically. Social media provides instant satisfaction that individuals use to boost self-esteem or improve their mood. In turn, this creates a feedback loop where the user becomes dependent on instant satisfaction.
