Lopez: Homecoming activities should extend throughout whole week

Dominique Lopez, Opinion Editor • October 30, 2024
Now, I know what you must be thinking. You read the title of this article and thought, "But isn’t Homecoming mostly for the alumni of Colorado State University? Why would we want to extend the activities to occur throughout the week?" The answer is because there are students like me who work all weekend and would like to partake in the festivities, too.

Weishaar: Subtle Halloween costumes are boring

Audrey Weishaar, Collegian Columnist • October 29, 2024
I love Halloween. It is my favorite time of the year; everything is flavored or pumpkin spice scented. Spirit Halloweens are popping up in empty stores.

Thorn: My Halloween costume is not my consent

Astrid Thorn, Collegian Columnist • October 28, 2024
Halloween is upon us, and the festivities are ramping up. In college, Halloween takes on a new meaning, with the holiday revolving more around dressing up and partying all weekend long. College students opt to attend Halloween-themed house parties as opposed to trick-or-treating, and the sheet ghost costumes of childhood are traded in for more revealing, risqué get-ups. While these parts of the holiday are incredibly fun, they come with safety concerns that must be acknowledged.

Charlotte Seymour, Collegian Columnist • October 28, 2024
We are constantly asked the question: “What’s your favorite holiday?” And 36% of Americans surveyed by YouGov said Christmas. It is somewhat understandable, as Christmas is supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. Sure — Christmas has some notable qualities, but it is certainly not better than Halloween.
