On Feb. 6, 1954, during halftime at a home basketball game against the University of Wyoming, former Colorado State University President William E. Morgan officially named CAM the Ram as the university's ambassador, and the rest is history.
After the 2024 national election results were finalized, I joked I would just move out of the United States for the next four years since I was close to graduation. However, with each day I am starting to realize this is no joking matter. Last week, my mom texted me with urgency, reminding me to have my ID on me at all times. Suddenly, the weight of what the next four years of my life in the US would look like as a woman of color sunk in.

I have heard all sorts of anti-fat rhetoric in my life: “Just lose weight;” “Try this diet;” and “Work out more.” The list goes on and on.

To most students, the start of a new semester is like the academic equivalent of a new year. With new classes, there seems to be endless possibilities for what's to come, and the determination to lock in and remain an academic weapon throughout the entire term is at the forefront of many returning students’ minds. While it is undoubtedly a worthwhile goal — like many of the resolutions made earlier this month — this declaration may not always be as easy to keep up with as it initially seems.

Although nothing really changes from Dec. 31 to Jan. 1, I think it’s important that we as humans have a moment to reflect on how things are, put it behind us and decide that the future will be different....

I’m sure some of you have sat in class while your stomach rumbled, and you can’t even begin to focus on anything except the thought of filling your stomach. Once the class ends, you rush to the dining hall to fulfill your desires with a juicy meal. But once you walk in, the line is wrapped around the hallway, there isn’t a single open table in sight and your stomach grows angrier.
