The holiday season is now in full swing, and you know what that means! It’s time to dig deep into the holiday spirit! The stress of gift-giving and decorating your home to ensure that your family doesn’t appear dysfunctional to the rest of the neighborhood can make a person crazy, so here I am, giving you the gift of all gifts: A very merry Craigslist Christmas.

Shortly after coming back to Colorado State University’s campus after fall break, sophomore Allen Wrench discovered that his bike had been stolen yet again.
“I was fed up to say the least,” Wrench said. “Even my roommate’s bike got stolen last month and his bike was a piece of shit.”
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.
If you’re afraid of devious, nefarious and diabolical licks, then stop reading this at once you law-abiding marshmallow.
On the off chance that you aren’t some scheming snitch, listen to this - some scoundrels have been swiping exit signs by the dozen from an apartment building in Fort Collins.
In the past few weeks, you might have noticed more than a few exit sign mounts hanging empty, wires live and dangling. No this isn’t some sick joke. Immature, attention-seeking twats just can’t resist getting their grubby fingers on one of those incredibly useful signs.
I know y’all think using these signs for decor is funny or whatever, but I promise that they will only be used for their intended purpose: directing your guests to high-tail it out of your nasty apartment.
It’s spooky season, and that means it’s time to do some spooky shit with your friends. Grab your mug, fill it to the brim with warm apple cider, settle in and grab a pen — you definitely want to take notes. I present to you the itinerary for your Halloween evening.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
