Seriously: Thanks for continuing to ignore climate change

Seriously: Thanks for continuing to ignore climate change

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist March 19, 2024
I love seeing your hairy toes peek through flip-flops in March — because that’s totally normal. I adore that you swam in Horsetooth Reservoir last week. Tears of joy seep from my eyes when you tell me your “personality is defrosting” because it’s 65 degrees outside.

Vogl, Ward: Social justice, country music are vitally connected

Claire Vogl and Emma Ward March 19, 2024
Long before country music seemingly cemented itself as the genre for patriots, beer drinkers and conservatives, the wide genre could be traced back to traditional African music, the European groups that settled in Appalachia and the 1920s Western movie scene in Hollywood, where cowboys became the face of the music and films.

Caden Proulx, Print Director March 19, 2024
It was a typical Wednesday morning — or so I thought. I walked out of my room to broken coffee mugs shattered all over the floor, and none of my roommates were in sight.

Rhoads: Colorado’s famous activities aren’t as accessible as you might think

Darien Rhoads, Collegian Columnist March 5, 2024
Colorado’s attractiveness for out-of-staters is largely due to outdoor access and activities like skiing and hiking that come with it. As a Coloradan, I can attest that in these communities, outdoor activities and status symbol are deeply correlated.

Seriously: A letter from your neighborhood bear

Addy Dollaghan, Collegian Columnist March 4, 2024
Dear humans: I’d like to start this off by noting that we’ve always had a decent relationship. You've left us to do what we do; we leave you to do the same. If either party encroaches on that line, justified consequences naturally ensue.

Vogl: Your favorite slang terms originated from drag culture

Claire Vogl, Copy Editor February 27, 2024
It seems as though a new word or phrase enters the limelight of popular culture every week. Whether it gains attention through TikTok or Twitter, it quickly becomes ingrained in the language of — primarily — Gen Z individuals.

Seriously: CSU student is convinced her roommate is a vampire

Hana Pavelko, Collegian Columnist February 26, 2024
Most people never think that horror movies can come to life. Stories about ghosts and monsters are simply tales to scare us. The idea of monsters being real is too far-fetched for anyone to give it a second thought.

Souza: Email etiquette is dying, but it shouldn’t be

Emma Souza, Collegian Columnist February 20, 2024
No, you should not include “lol” in that email to your physics professor. As slang and language continue to adapt over the decades, the ways in which we communicate — within relationships, friendships and classrooms — adapt, too.
