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.

Cody Cooke October 31, 2021
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.
Seriously: Have fun behind bars, exit sign stealers

Seriously: Have fun behind bars, exit sign stealers

Bella Eckburg October 31, 2021
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.

Nathaniel McKissick October 24, 2021
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.”

Seriously: How to gaslight a woman in 5 simple steps

Katrina Leibee October 20, 2021
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.

Dylan Tusinski October 17, 2021
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.

Cat Blouch October 10, 2021
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.

Seriously: Why self-care is bad for you

Bella Eckburg October 10, 2021
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.
