There are many ways you can engage with spooky season — visiting a haunted house, going on a ghost tour around Fort Collins, etc. But there’s one aspect of Halloween that won’t end when the final yellow leaves fall from the trees, and that’s supernatural, spiritual readings from psychics and mediums.
Before you jump into a psychic reading headfirst, it’s important to understand the difference between psychics and mediums to ensure you make the most of your experience. There are a few objections to getting psychic readings, but there’s really no harm in trying something out.
Fort Collins, incorporated all the way back in 1873, is not a young place, and as such, it has quite a lot of lore surrounding it. While some of these local legends may not dabble in the macabre, many are tales of haunted buildings and stories of ghosts roaming the town.
As a college student during this pandemic, I, like many of my peers, have had the “best years of my life” uprooted and my future put on hold while decision makers determine when we can resume some sort of normalcy. As a young person born into a climate and extinction crisis, I am unable to ignore drastic global biodiversity loss leading to pandemics under which so many have suffered.
From witches to ghosts to blood-sucking demons, Halloween is a holiday of fear. It’s what sells costumes of all our favorite pop-culture monsters. It’s what gets us going to the theatres for the newest horror films during the spooky season.
Halloween is just around the corner, and it’s time for everyone to put on their best costumes, get blackout drunk and throw up in the backseat of an Uber while a friend shoots an apologetic glance at the driver.
Cady Heron, the protagonist of the iconic teen comedy "Mean Girls" once described Halloween as, “the one day a year when a girl can dress up like a total slut and no other girls can say anything else about it.”
Men, you’ve likely watched generations of men before you call their girlfriends crazy. Since the dawn of time men have been gaslighting women. For those of you who aren’t quite as experienced, to gaslight means to emotionally manipulate someone and have them question their own sanity.
The City of Fort Collins' Homelessness Advisory Committee has recommended that a new 24/7 homeless shelter be a top priority for the city.
In my previous article, I explained how Denver's problem revolved around the City’s mismanagement of their homeless shelters along with their approach of establishing “safe” outdoor camps without consulting citizens beforehand.
College campuses have long been known as pillars of liberalism, most notably among those who consider themselves conservative. Accusations of bias have been leveraged against academic professors for decades, and that likely won’t come to an end any time soon.
Back in the good ole days of 2019, Fort Collins was introduced to a new vermin — the Bird Scooter.
The pay-as-you-use electric scooters flocked their way into town, littering themselves all over Colorado State University's campus, Old Town and the entire city of Fort Collins.
Students walking across the Lory Student Center Plaza Oct. 15 might have noticed several individuals with cardboard signs, a guitar and a megaphone calling attention to the national general strike, also referred to as “Striketober.”
Black humor, commonly known as dark humor, is defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as “humor marked by the use of usually morbid, ironic, grotesquely comic episodes.”
However, the rise of social media — especially amid a pandemic — has largely contributed to a rise in the normalization of dark humor. Unfortunately, this has also led to people misusing the term and making disgusting jokes about harmful topics under the guise of dark humor.
There are few transitions in life as daunting as entering your freshman year of college. For many students, freshman year represents a near-overwhelming assertion of independence.
