Thriving and Surviving your first CU party

August 25th, 2019

As an incoming freshman, you’re going to hear a bunch of different things about the college party scene, some may be true and some may not. As a freshman, you should definitely go to at least one party to decide if you like going out or not. Partying is not for everyone, but you owe it to your social self to try it at least once. When I was a freshman, my roommate and I were wondering how you even hear about parties. She came back one day and said that someone told her to just wonder on the hill and walk into any party you hear/see. To me, that was super intimidating because I didn’t know... Read More

Here’s to getting ahead in your Freshman year

August 24th, 2019

Hey incoming freshman! There are only a couple more weeks until the start of your freshman year aka one of the most exciting years of your life! Oh how I wish I was a freshman again, there would be so many things that I would do over, and so many things I wish I could have done. With that being said, here is a list of seven things you should definitely know before starting the year. When you make your schedule whatever you do, do NOT give yourself an 8 am class. You might be used to getting up early coming out of high school, but trust me you WILL regret it when there is something fun to do the... Read More

It’s the end of summer…or is it?

August 23rd, 2019

School may be starting in a few days, but that doesn’t mean your summer has to come to a halt. Summer doesn’t technically end until September 21st, which means you still have a month of sunny skies, and warm weather. You now just have to share some of the time in your day with classes and homework. A couple of suggestions of some fun things you can still do even when school starts are going on hikes, hanging out on pearl street, checking out live music at the Fox, Boulder theater, or Red Rocks, swimming in the creek, camping on the weekends, and dartying (day-partying) with your friends. Hiking... Read More

CU Standing Up for What’s Right

January 1st, 2018

DiStefano didn’t change campus policy in regards to the White House guidance on transgender rights. In his announcement, he said, “First, I want to state unequivocally that we welcome, support and respect our transgender community and are here to engage you as a vital member of the CU Boulder community. All members of the CU Boulder community deserve to feel welcome, safe and respected.” He then went on to say though... Read More

CU Events During the Last Week of Class

May 5th, 2017

This week, being the last week of real class, there were lots of activities happening on campus. CU likes to give students options of things to do in between their studying and final projects as a way to destress. Starting on Tuesday, for those who love poker, there was a Texas Hold‘Em tournament. It was open to everyone and there were some great prizes to be won. On Wednesday, there were arts and crafts, games and a magic show held in the UMC. It was advertised as “Fun before finals” for a good reason.  On Thursday, there was a Grad Bash, which I actually went to, and it was oodles of... Read More

The Final Count Down

April 28th, 2017

Photo credit: stephanierh It’s the final count down for the semester. I honestly can not believe we have one more week of class and then it’s finals, and then for me, it’s graduation! Saying that I will be graduating out loud is surreal. No one preps you for ending the biggest chapter in your life thus far—school. I’m completely over the academic part, but lately every time I’m walking to class I start to get a little down knowing that my time at CU is coming to an end. Our campus is the most beautiful campus in the world and I could not be more fortunate to have been able to spend... Read More

The therapy dogs, and human volunteers are from the Therapy Dogs of Boulder County. They work with several organizations across Boulder to provide volunteer dog love for those in need. CU’s University Libraries are hosting these dogs. Next week they will be at the Music Library, Tile Lounge, on Tuesday April 25th from 1-3 pm, at the Business Library on Wednesday April 26th from 2-4 pm,... Read More

Be Aware

April 16th, 2017

Photo credit: cdanews.com I, along with what seems like the entire world, has started watching a show on Netflix called 13 Reasons Why. It’s about a girl in high school who commits suicide, but before she does, records her story on cassette tapes outlining the 13 reasons why certain people from her high school have driven her to end her life. It’s a very eye opening show because even though it is set in high school, a scary fact is that suicide is the second-most cause of death for college age students. Warning signs of suicide is if someone is depressed, lonely and isolated from friends and... Read More

April 7th, 2017

Photo credit: cuindependent.com Every year CU holds a week long event called Conference on World Affairs, and this year it is held from April 10th-14th. According to CU’s website, the Conference on World Affairs “brings world of thought leaders together to discuss ‘everything conceivable’ with the residents and students of Boulder.” Though it is held in Colorado, it is a national event where people can access the talks through livestreaming. There are numerous talks ranging in topics such as arts, media, science, technology, politics, business, human rights and more. There is also going... Read More

Last Month of School–Don’t Stress!

March 31st, 2017

Photo Credit: medicalnewstoday.com Okay CU students, we basically have one month left of school which means it’s time to really buckle down and finish out the year strong! The last month of school is always the most stressful because the remaining work usually consists of assignments that are the most time consuming and most weighted for your GPA. This last stretch is going to feel like you’re not going to have a moment to yourself with everything you need to get done. BUT DON’T STRESS. Don’t stress about finding a job, don’t stress about getting all A’s, don’t stress about being... Read More
