The relationship an average student has with their college campus is far from normal. At least for the first year, it’s where they eat, sleep and work. As a result, campus can seem to encompass a person’s entire life, but hopefully it doesn’t act as such an all-consuming black hole.

On September 26th, 2024, I so confidently claimed "Kamala Harris is Brat, will win election because of it." But while Kamala Harris achieved virality in certain circles, Donald Trump achieved it in others.
Dr. Tony Frank, chancellor of the Colorado State University System, recommended that CSU campuses follow new Department of Education directives eliminating diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Perhaps he should tell CSU to stand by the laws and vision that has guided this vital Land Grant Institution since 1862.Â
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.
When I was staring at the residence halls' website, deciding where I wanted to live and where I would best fit in, I struggled. I knew I was entering a predominately white institution, and I knew I had to find a place where I would be able to form community and find friends within the dorm. For me, it was a tie between a community focused on reading and Key Communities.
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.

Diversity, equity and inclusion has become a large-scale industry — but is it really about progress? Or just profit? In recent years, more and more companies have been treating DEI like a trend to take advantage of rather than an organizational framework dedicated to meaningful change.

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. College is the first time we are fully on our own, and we get to decide everything for ourselves — this means we need to be intentional about our mindset. If you're having a difficult time staying positive, here’s how you can shift your mindset and take control of your 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.
