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.
The climate strike that took place on Colorado State University’s campus Oct. 8 brought a variety of different causes together under a collective call for systemic change and radical action.
When it comes to a bachelor’s degree, it traditionally takes four years to graduate. However, the truth of the matter is that college can be a volatile period, and there are a multitude of reasons one's journey may not align with that timeframe.
Unless you’re living under a rock, you may have noticed that self-care is all the rage right now. I’m not sure why it takes a social media trend for you to brush your teeth and practice basic personal hygiene, but as long as I don’t have to smell your rank body odor, I’m not complaining.
The online world is buzzing with motivational posts about self-care and how we should be on top of our mental health.Â
While I partook in my daily doom-scroll on Instagram, I began to notice a bombardment of posts about how you should exercise to release endorphins, leave your house to hang out with people you care about, etc.
Ever watched a documentary about a cult and thought to yourself, "There's no way that would work on me?" I have, and after experiencing sorority recruitment at Colorado State University, it's frightening how susceptible to cult tactics I am.
C.A.N.S. Around the Oval is a roughly month-long food and fund drive organized by Colorado State University’s Student Leadership, Involvement and Community Engagement (S.L.I.C.E.) office and the Food Bank for Larimer County.
Now in its 35th year, the drive represents one of CSU’s best homecoming traditions, and it reflects our University’s commitment to transformative community action.
The first-ever CAM the Ram came on the scene at Colorado State University in 1946, a year after the then-Colorado Agricultural and Mechanical College student body’s vote to rename themselves the “Rams.” Then, in 1954, CAM officially earned his name — the one we now know and love.Â
The tradition of homecoming, as a whole, is an extremely communal one, especially for returning alumni, as emotions will always run high when returning back to a place you once called home. Out of all the celebrations and events that make Homecoming Weekend what it is, few provide the sense of community and catharsis created by the tradition of the homecoming bonfire.Â
CAM the Ram has been a fan favorite of Colorado State University students since his tenure as mascot began in 1954. There’s nothing we enjoy more than watching our favorite horned ruminant stampede across the stadium before a game, but before CAM stole the hearts of thousands, there was another animal representing our school — a short, slobbery bulldog named Peanuts.
If you ask any Colorado State University student, scroll through any CSU meme page, or even just go to a CSU football game for yourself, you'll find a common theme: everyone is disappointed with our school's football team.
Our football season has been rough so far. Between upset losses, failed comebacks and awful defense, we've struggled to a 1-3 start this year. It's really no surprise, though, since the team hasn't had a winning season since 2017. To put it bluntly, CSU students have just gotten used to sucking at football.
Like several cities across the country, Fort Collins is committed to achieving 100% renewable electricity in the coming years. This commitment ultimately determines Colorado State University’s own goals, since the University gets about 85% of its electricity from the City according to CSU’s campus energy coordinator Stacey Baumgarn.
