Students at Colorado State University hear the Land Acknowledgment so much that it has nearly lost its meaning. Much like the Pledge of Allegiance in elementary school, the words are robotically recited but rarely pondered.
We all know that Colorado State University is a “land-grant institution.” Just stroll through the Lory Student Center, and you’ll see how proud CSU is of this history.
In the last few months, the internet has fallen under the spell of an old, sleepy dog and his psychic bones. It’s called having a bones or a no bones day, and it’s something some people take very seriously.
Eco-anxiety is something that impacts our lives in many ways, and a lot of Generation Z struggles with imagining what our future will hold amid such an intense climate crisis. For a lot of us, the idea of the future includes potentially having children.
According to a poll by the Morning Consult, “1 in 4 childless adults cite climate change as a ‘major or minor’ reason they don’t have children.”
Students for Life is a secular, nonpartisan pro-life Registered Student Organization at Colorado State University. We are committed to respectful dialogue with our peers.
American politics are one of the most pervasive elements of life in this country, impacting and regulating almost everything we do on a daily basis. And yet, so much of the American political system and the policies that it enacts are shrouded in a mist of industry jargon and power struggles that make it difficult for the average citizen to understand how the nation's policies impact their everyday life.
College is a time associated with meals that are nutritionally lacking. Instant ramen, TV dinners and a lot of takeout come to mind when people think of their four years at university.
I grew up in a small town, where the idea of leaving for the first-year college experience is often not attempted. The first time I went home last month, the very first person to spot me – my neighbor – told me not only how proud they were but also how much their daughters looked up to me.
As I stood next to the fence listening to positive affirmations, a pit began to grow in my stomach, and I struggled to fight back the tears that were slowly creeping into my eyes.
As Colorado State University students head to the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also called COP26, climate change is on the minds of many here on campus. CSU boasts its renowned sustainability, but the actions of one university feel infinitesimally small when the scope of global climate change affects, well, the entire globe.
Earlier this week, Colorado State University freshman LaKynn Miller, who had just joined the Alpha Sigma Sigma sorority, got a nose ring in her left nostril and a line tattoo of a mountain range on her forearm instead of developing a real personality.
Miller, who just moved to Fort Collins from Long Beach, California, at the start of the semester, said that it felt like a Colorado thing to do.
By this point, we are unfortunately all too familiar with the wide variety of nonsensical rallying cries adopted by the anti-vaxxer community — shouts of "The government can’t tell me what to do," or "I won’t be a sheep. I need to do my own research." — but what the hell do they actually mean?
Nearly two years and over 745,000 deaths into the deadliest pandemic in American history, our country is still being held back by those who refuse to take the coronavirus seriously.
Only about 10% of military members see combat in their careers, and this primarily depends on the branch in which they find themselves. When I was a little Airman buying my highly-carcinogenic energy drink and 1,500 calorie breakfast burrito using the American people’s tax dollars, people would still thank me for my service — yet I was far from being in a combative role.
Why would I deserve the same appreciation as someone who had taken a bullet? The answer is both ignorance and nationalism.
