Seriously: 5 ways to tell your roommate to fill the Brita

Seriously: 5 ways to tell your roommate to fill the Brita

Emma Souza • October 17, 2023
Most of us know that roommate life has its perks — split rent, constant companionship, a brotherhood or sisterhood or whatever you like to call it — but along with sharing a room comes sharing commodities: a joint fridge, toilet paper that runs out twice as fast and, if you really like the person, maybe even a comb with the loving entanglement of both your hairs. Living with another person is an adjustment. But none of these lifestyle adjustments come close to sharing the demon that is the Brita filter.

With the flu, COVID-19 and an abundance of other diseases one can contract on a college campus, many students take precautions. Wearing masks, taking vitamins and eating healthy are all good ways to keep healthy during cold and flu season.

MacMahon: Quiet places at CSU to destress from Homecoming

Taylor MacMahon • October 11, 2023
Homecoming weekend is a very exciting time, but it can also be very overstimulating. It's important to celebrate in the ways that feel supportive to you, especially because Homecoming is a celebration of Colorado State University and the CSU community, and you are a part of that.

I’ve been participating in the Homecoming & Family Weekend activities at Colorado State University by myself for a solid three years now. And by participating, I mean I go to the game and then I go home for the remainder of the evening because I normally work all weekend.

Homecoming season has officially descended upon Colorado State University. Alumni, faculty and students alike are gearing up for a week of traditional celebrations, sporting events and school spirit. Homecoming week is the highlight of the fall semester for many in the Fort Collins area.

Lopez: Have you gotten your costume yet?

Dominique Lopez • October 5, 2023
The month of the spooky season is officially here, and with that come the cool weather and, more than anything, the dilemma of what to wear for a Halloween. Whether it is a costume, a Halloween-themed shirt with a festive hat or a costume you have taken the time to DIY, it is officially the time to start thinking about it seriously.

As the leaves begin to turn and the temperatures begin to drop this upcoming week, preventing the October sicknesses that plague campus is of utmost importance. For those who frequent the Colorado State University fraternities, however, another symptom is just on the horizon, sweeping across the solo-cup masses.

Lopez: Stop normalizing death threats against athletes

Dominique Lopez • September 27, 2023
Over the past few weeks, the Colorado State University football team has been receiving a lot of media attention after The Rocky Mountain Showdown, specifically in regard to the death threats being made against Henry Blackburn. Every story about it seems to be discussing the death threats as though it is just a normal issue.

“What's in a name?” William Shakespeare famously wrote. “That which we call a rose, by any other word would smell as sweet.” This is a pretty statement, but we all know nobody actually believes that. Shakespeare probably just felt crappy about having a name as boring as William.
