Seriously: CSU’s best tradition? Being bad at football

Dylan Tusinski October 3, 2021
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.
Why watching tons of porn is bad for you

Why watching tons of porn is bad for you

Cat Blouch September 26, 2021
This past week, chalk messages at the Lory Student Center have sparked many heated conversations at the Opinion Desk — none of them as polarizing as the debate over porn. So, we’re taking this one to the streets to finally resolve this heated discussion once and for all.

Why watching tons of porn is good for you

Dylan Tusinski September 26, 2021
The Plaza leading up to the Lory Student Center is almost always filled with chalk messages. The constant barrage of ephemeral advertising from religious organizations, student groups, and various political campaigns makes it hard to notice any of the chalk messages in particular, since there's just so damn many of them.

Seriously: How to hide your pet from your landlord

Cody Cooke September 20, 2021
If you’re anything more than a cold-blooded sociopath, you likely have some sort of pet living with you. Some of you might be lucky enough to live in a place that is welcoming to your animal companion. (Be honest, does it help pay the rent? Mine is a freeloader.)

Seriously: The microchip in my vaccine is malfunctioning

Bella Eckburg September 13, 2021
Early last week I finally reached full-immunity against the original COVID-19 strain, and you can’t even imagine how excited I was. I have been researching everything there is to know about this virus on 4chan, and the knowledge that I could now fight it inside my body was game-changing.

Seriously: CSU to add multiple roundabouts across campus

Dylan Tusinski September 6, 2021
Colorado State University's administration prides itself on its ability to listen to its students. Which is why when students began calling for the University to renovate the Clark building, fix the cracked brick sidewalks on the plaza and install air conditioning into the University's dorms, CSU decided to roll up its sleeves and put its construction team to work.

Seriously: The essentials for a college party

Cat Blouch September 1, 2021
Classes are back in person and students are finally roaming the campus again. This return to in-person activities means that we can finally go back to dry humping each other in hot, dimly lit, poorly cleaned, musty frat basements again.

The best social norms to break on campus

In the times of the COVID-19 pineapple, all we have left is chaos. Instead of trying to grasp the passage of time or make sense of the utter insanity, it’s better to just give into the fact that...

While experiencing withdrawals from live music, campus geese decide to completely disregard the Centers of Disease Control guidelines to attend the ever-anticipated live show of Ryan and The Goslings March 30. The show was put on near the lagoon and over 800 geese were in attendance. The CDC is now calling this the most serious super spreader event. (Laurel Sickels | The Unprecedented Times)
