Since reentering the White House in January, President Donald Trump and his administration have made no effort to hide their extremist, far-right agenda. From waging a war on undocumented immigrants to withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and more, he has made it clear that he is in office for one reason: to promote a self-serving, oppressive, white supremacist agenda.

Maintaining a positive mindset can sometimes feel impossible, but it is crucial for a fulfilling college experience.

I’m not a devout astrology believer nor am I an astrology disbeliever. Rather than explaining my own actions — and everyone else’s — with the positioning of the stars, I follow an astrology of my own: the positioning of your birth order.
There is no denying that sex can be exciting, fun, inviting and something to be sought after. Sex is a crucial part of life for many people across the world and a major factor in many people’s romantic relationships.

Most classrooms on Colorado State University's campus have some sort of combination desk, which is any sort of desk that has a chair attached. The most common type are individuals — those oriented so that the bar connecting the desk to the chair can be lifted, allowing for easier entry. The bar should go under your dominant hand. The other type I have seen on campus is one in which the chair is on a swivel mounted to the desk. After the person using it pulls it out, the spring-locked chair will slide back toward the desk.

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.
