Have you ever been watching traditional television or Hulu and some random drug advertisement using an unrelated, whimsical stock video pops up?
The advertisement usually informs the viewer of what the drug does and entices the viewer to ask their doctor about it, then, in the end, a sped-up voiceover lists off the long list of side effects. If you've ever thought it strange that these pharmaceutical companies are advertising drugs that can only be prescribed by a doctor, you are not alone.

Colorado State University’s administration implemented yet another initiative on campus. For a university that prides itself on progressive forms of learning, this time is no different.
The decision was made in cohesion with law students entails more ice being placed throughout campus to allow young lawyers an opportunity to practice injury-law cases hands-on.

Even though it feels like time simultaneously whizzed by and dragged on endlessly since the 2020 presidential election, we've officially hit an important milestone: We're halfway to the 2022 midterm elections.
The midterms are a significant political marker. They come halfway through each president's term and stand as a way to gauge how the country is feeling about how they're doing in office.

Thursday will mark the one-year anniversary of President Joe Biden’s inauguration. Adding to the date’s significance, Jan. 20 also marks one full year from the official end of what was arguably the most disastrous presidency in American history.
When Former-President Donald Trump vacated the White House almost exactly one year ago from today, many Americans hoped and believed his chaotic reign over the nation’s politics had finally come to an abrupt end. Any chance of Trump maintaining control over the Republican Party likely diminished due to the Capitol insurrection following his accusations of widespread voter fraud only two weeks prior to leaving office.

The term “American dream” can hold many different meanings to each individual living in America. For some, it is the ability to achieve financial prosperity no matter the person’s ethnicity or background, and for others, it is simply the ability to live a better life in a society rich with opportunity.

Colorado State University mascot CAM the Ram is most known by students and Fort Collins locals for his appearances at football games and other campus sporting and social events. Aside from communal adoration, locals were awed at how exhilarating and frankly unique his social life is outside of his occupation as the mascot.

The COVID-19 pandemic has driven us into the throes of the inside world, so it should come as no surprise that people are increasingly using the internet to engage with others and foster interpersonal relationships.
A certain type of relationship, however – those of the para-social variety – has created a culture that promotes obsession and delusion. I’m referring to relationships between influencers or celebrities and their stans.
In life amid a pandemic, we all could use a little self-care, especially as we exit dead week and make our way to the final week of the semester; one full of stress and tests and the luxury of break peeking over the horizon.
When you think of self-care, a few images may come to mind — a glistening face mask, a manicure, a long bubble bath — but there’s something clearly missing in these spas and salons: the men.

We're entering our third year of the pandemic and people are still refusing to properly wear their masks. Stop being selfish, do what's right and protect yourself and your community.

Our academic futures should not be decided by the results of a few weeks of schoolwork, and we should not be forced to forfeit grades in some areas for better grades in others.
Contrary to the journalist I am now, I came into The Collegian a bumbling mess. The copy desk didn’t have room for me at the time, so I went to opinion when they were in want of writers, and thus began my unforgettable Collegian experience.

Last year's presidential election was a political turf war in the most literal sense. As the election created a divisive political environment in the U.S., the tenseness of the moment created a series of proxy wars on lawns across America.
