Seriously: Local man discovers mental health, tolerates social interaction

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • November 10, 2022
The spooky fun of Halloween is behind us and so is the dizzying election season. Individuals across the nation now prepare for the thick wave of seasonal depression to hit with force.  It’s not uncommon to feel gloomy in the overcast, cold weather. In Colorado, the winter is either the thing you’ve been waiting for or the thing you’ve been dreading. If you’re into winter sports, you’re set. If you aren’t, good luck. 
Seriously: CSU announces new university president after tireless searching

Seriously: CSU announces new university president after tireless searching

Michael Stella, Staff Reporter • November 3, 2022
Starting the 2022 fall semester without a university president has been tough on the Colorado State University community. That is why CSU is proud to announce its new university president, who will be filling the position after Joyce McConnell left in June. The search was intense, and the university search committee wanted to hear from all stakeholders of CSU. The search committee knows they have made the right decision in their pick.

There are very few occasions on Colorado State University’s campus that spark as much joy as the football team scraping a win. Thankfully, our beloved Rams got their first taste of victory in the season this past weekend against the University of Nevada, Reno's Wolf Pack, and everyone involved seemed to be happy about the result and eagerly looking on to our homecoming game to grab another — at least, almost everyone involved.

Have you ever shot up out of the comfort of sleep in the middle of the night (likely after your evening high has worn off) quaking in wonder over the question “What strain would Colorado State University be if it was cannabis?”  Don’t worry, little lamb. Rest your eyes, I come in peace and with answers.

The Colorado State University football team had another disappointing weekend inside Canvas Stadium, but as with any home game, there was a constant bright spot: CAM the Ram. Game days are work days for CAM, as he is there for Ram Walk, alumni center activities and the football game itself.

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • September 13, 2022
If you’ve frequented the north side of the Colorado State University Lory Student Center any time in these last few weeks, you’re sure to have seen the construction happening. As I made my way to the CSU Transit center on the first day of school, I found myself puzzled when my usual staircase exit was blocked off, and I had to use the CSU Bookstore stairs. Confused, I called upon the trusty journalists employed by The Collegian to get you, the public, the answers you so desire. What is really happening behind those doors? What could they be building?

Dylan Tusinski, Collegian Columnist • September 5, 2022
While former Colorado State University President Joyce McConnell may have had a hands-off approach when it came to handling real issues on campus, there is one area in which she made sure to actively interact with students, staff and faculty: their email inboxes.

Have you ever found yourself walking along the chalked-up Plaza of the Lory Student Center and been stopped in your tracks by an absolute Ram family beauty? Here on the Colorado State University campus, we have it all: goth girls on skateboards, frat boys in khaki shorts, women in STEM, horse-lovers and more.

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • August 23, 2022
Well, Colorado State University has done it again! Throwing curveballs is a talent possessed by both those in the athletic department and apparently CSU Housing & Dining Services!  Everybody knows CSU is the obvious choice for any first-year student looking for a fabulous college education (that’s right — I worked a University of Colorado Boulder, dig into this), and CSU capitalizes on that sexy reputation year after year. This year, our school flew a little too close to the sun, and guess who’s being pelted with the wax of those melting Icarus wings? First-years.

Up until now, your introduction to college has likely been full of toothy smiles and icebreakers. I’m not here to ask about your major or where you’re from; I don’t care, and I can promise you most people don’t either.  Instead, I’m here to give you some tough love — to instill in you the knowledge that every first-year college student should know.

Seriously: Who wants to be the new CSU mascot?

Callum Burke, Collegian Columnist • May 4, 2022
Picture this: You’re under the bright lights of Canvas Stadium awaiting yet another action-packed football game. The crowd is chanting thunderously over the music playing on the loudspeakers. The football team is warming up eagerly on the field as the cheerleaders and dancers edge the sidelines to rile up the fans. Where are you, you ask? Right in the middle of the action on the field, with all eyes on you. You’re the school mascot, and you’re living the goddamn dream of showing off your school spirit to everyone attending. I mean, who doesn’t want to be the mascot, right?

Seriously: CSU to give campus preachers honorary communication degrees

Bella Eckburg, Opinion Director • May 1, 2022
As Colorado State University quickly approaches its spring 2022 graduation ceremony, the University made a monumental decision that exemplified its undying support for free speech on campus: issuing campus preachers honorary communications degrees. “They spend as much time on campus as every student,” said Poe Lark, a spokesperson for CSU’s graduation planning team. “It’s time for CSU to make a public stand in support of free speech on campus once and for all.”
