Most classrooms on Colorado State University's campus have some sort of combination desk, which is any sort of desk that has a chair attached. The most common type are individuals — those oriented so that the bar connecting the desk to the chair can be lifted, allowing for easier entry. The bar should go under your dominant hand. The other type I have seen on campus is one in which the chair is on a swivel mounted to the desk. After the person using it pulls it out, the spring-locked chair will slide back toward the desk.
President Donald Trump and his legion of fascists and oligarchs marched their way into the White House this January, and the Democrats handed him the golden key while doing an interpretive dance to protest his ever-growing power.

Comment sections play a much larger role in the enjoyment of social media platforms than one might expect. The second it’s no longer available, the entire experience feels immediately diminished, despite the fact that it’s a relatively small feature. It’s also something you barely notice until it’s no longer available, similar to how resounding silence tends to feel much louder than whatever sound was previously audible in the background.

According to the Body Mass Index, I am obese. The Body Mass Index, more commonly referred to as the BMI, is a measure of how fat someone is. It is used in the medical field as a health indicator. I can not overstate how unbelievably flawed this tool is.

As a fresh college student, the first semester can be rough and intimidating. It feels like we're thrown into a pack of wolves and just told, “You’ll be fine, go make some friends.” But it is not easy.

Several years ago, I first saw this video of Angelina Jolie receiving the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2013 Governors Awards, a ceremony by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that recognizes various actors’ achievements. I’m not particularly moved by award show speeches; I don’t particularly watch award shows.

As the United States continues to move into a presidency that ran a campaign in favor of oppression toward women and numerous other marginalized groups, everyone must stand together.

The beginning of Donald Trump's presidency has regrettably been marked by one of the most deadly and tragic U.S. aviation disasters since 2001: the Jan. 29 Washington, D.C., plane collision.

On Feb. 6, 1954, during halftime at a home basketball game against the University of Wyoming, former Colorado State University President William E. Morgan officially named CAM the Ram as the university's ambassador, and the rest is history.
After the 2024 national election results were finalized, I joked I would just move out of the United States for the next four years since I was close to graduation. However, with each day I am starting to realize this is no joking matter. Last week, my mom texted me with urgency, reminding me to have my ID on me at all times. Suddenly, the weight of what the next four years of my life in the US would look like as a woman of color sunk in.

I am an artist. I paint, draw and do textile art. In fact, I am a creative writing major. So believe me when I say artificial intelligence is the worst thing I’ve ever had the displeasure of interacting with.
