Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor I have a hard time seeing the Atlanta Falcons winning the Super Bowl this year. I don’t think this game will even be close, but Vegas doesn’t seem to agree with me, which makes me a little nervous as I’m putting my reputation on the line […]

Andrew Crighton News Editor The days following the inauguration of Donald Trump as our 45th president have been…eventful. To say that I believe our country has made a mistake is an understatement; but conventional politics is not what I want this piece of writing to be about. For me, this […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief I’d been without hope for so long it had begun to feel normal. As any of you who regularly read my column know, this election season has been rough on me, and yes, I’ve cried over the election of Donald Trump. Not because I need a safe […]
Madeleine Coles Life Editor Dear Badvice, I’ve been catcalled multiple times on campus, and I know a lot of friends who have experienced this problem as well. Any suggestions for avoiding catcallers? Sincerely, I was wearing sweatpants Dear I was wearing sweatpants, My darling, you’re asking the wrong question here. […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief Perhaps the saying is right, that ignorance is bliss. I’m feeling tired and disheartened as I sit down writing this. There’s lots of things to write about. I’ve got plenty on my mind, but honestly this week the words are feeling a little hard to find. The […]
Madeleine Coles Life Editor Dear Badvice, Do you have any tips on good New Year’s resolutions and/or how to stick to them? Sincerely, New Year, New Me Dear New Year, New Me, I actually feel quite sorry for you. You have somehow made it to college without yet being taught […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief The start of a new year and a fresh semester always gets me thinking about where I’ve been and where I’m going. For me, this year is going to be filled with some huge lasts and some even more significant firsts. Monday was one of each: my […]
Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor The College Football Playoff seemed like a great idea at the time, but two years later it is apparent that it was a huge mistake. On paper, it seemed like a great idea. Instead of having the top two teams duke it out for the national […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief The more time I spend in a university setting, the more I’ve begun to think of it as a little political country all its own. The depth of what goes on at any given university is something I never even considered when I stepped into my first […]
Madeleine Coles Life Editor Dear Badvice, I love Christmas, and I really want to start decorating for the holidays. But my roommates think it’s too soon. What’s the acceptable time to put your Christmas tree up? Sincerely, A Holiday Lover Dear Holiday Lover, You disgust me. I’m going to stop […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief Ah, the holidays. Depending on your home life, they can be either wonderful or draining. Sometimes, they can be both. This (excluding finals, of course) is my favorite time of year. I love getting to go home, relax and spend time with my loved ones. I love […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief On November 9 I woke up with a pit in my stomach. I pulled out my phone praying that things had taken a turn since I fell asleep on the couch the night before. They hadn’t. I felt frightened, hurt and honestly a little betrayed by my […]
Lucas Gebhart Sports Editor I grew up in Fort Collins, Colorado, a town of about 150,000, located 50 miles north of Denver. There is a lot to do in Fort Collins, and in Colorado in general, especially when it comes to sports. Nobody expect for parents, students and maybe some […]
Madeleine Coles Life Editor Dear Badvice, It has reached the point in the semester where I am feeling very stressed out. I don’t want to go to any of my classes, and I’m having a hard time staying motivated. What should I do? Sincerely, A Jaded Student Dear Jaded Student, […]
Emily Crighton Editor-in-Chief It’s that point in the semester. Thanksgiving break can’t come any slower, work is piling up, people are getting sick and students and faculty alike appear to be dragging. It seems to me as if the whole country is feeling both exhausted and disenchanted. The timing of […]
