Stegall: Dating apps are killing modern romance

Stegall: Dating apps are killing modern romance

Hailee Stegall, Collegian Columnist February 14, 2024
On my 18th birthday, I downloaded Tinder in my dorm room, created a neon pink profile with all the excitement of a kid in a candy shop and got to swiping. And at around 10 p.m. on my 20th birthday, I stared myself in the face in the dirty mirror of a bar bathroom and swore to whatever powers that be that I would never download Tinder again. True story. There are witnesses, unfortunately, to both.
Proulx: SDC accommodations really are for everyone

Proulx: SDC accommodations really are for everyone

Caden Proulx, Print Director February 13, 2024
For some reason, even though I had learning accommodations in high school, it took until I was a sophomore in college — about to flunk all my classes — for me to seek out accommodations from the Student Disability Center.
Seriously: CSU's newest fraternity is abstinence only

Seriously: CSU’s newest fraternity is abstinence only

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist February 12, 2024
It is almost guaranteed that at least one Colorado State University fraternity will be throwing a party each weekend. CSU’s new abstinence frat is no different. Their door is always open to make friendship bracelets and play Just Dance.

McMillan: Job applicants deserve more respect from employers

Adah McMillan, Copy Chief February 7, 2024
I assume employers hold themselves to some sort of standard, but it’s certainly nowhere near the standard to which they hold job applicants.
Seriously: CSU Snowriders think they're better than you

Seriously: CSU Snowriders think they’re better than you

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist February 6, 2024
To those who don’t know us — or worse, to those who don’t love us: What do you mean, you don’t ski?
Pavelko: It's OK if you've given up on your New Year's resolutions

Pavelko: It’s OK if you’ve given up on your New Year’s resolutions

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist February 6, 2024
Historians estimate that New Year’s resolutions have been a tradition for thousands of years. What started as promises to the gods worshiped by the ancient Babylonians has transformed into a tradition of self-improvement. 
Seriously: Student loses hard work moments before deadline

Seriously: Student loses hard work moments before deadline

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist January 30, 2024
Professors recommend that students never leave an important assignment until the last minute. But who listens to those ridiculous suggestions? Marvin Dent, a physics Ph.D. student at Colorado State University, is now wishing that maybe he hadn't called those suggestions ridiculous.
Proulx: Yes, the Supreme Court is illegitimate

Proulx: Yes, the Supreme Court is illegitimate

Caden Proulx, Print Editor January 29, 2024
The U.S. Supreme Court is extremely flawed. Most people on the political spectrum can admit that, but in very different ways. For example, the Democratic justices are deemed patron saints who can do no wrong, but the reality is even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who we champion above all, had her not-so-amazing history with racial justice and tribal sovereignty. The United States is run by an oligarchy.

Parcells: Devaluing some academic fields has sexist, elitist implications

Hannah Parcells, News Editor January 25, 2024
As college students, we are surrounded by people with different goals, passions and talents. A college campus is one of the few places where you get to interact with people from multiple different fields of study almost constantly.

Pavelko: Taylor Swift spoiled her fans to her own downfall

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist January 24, 2024
As a teenage girl, I listened to nothing but Taylor Swift. But even though her music does make up a large amount of some of my playlists, she’s not the only artist I listen to. And I can’t deny that I know the words to every one of her songs. I like her music, and I am not ashamed to admit it.
