    Uggs and their evolution away from rugged-ness

    by CU Independent December 14, 2007
    by CU Independent December 14, 2007

    Help me.

    I am becoming one of those people whom I’ve hated my whole life. The bullying, snot-nosed brats – you know the type – cast and recast over generations of teenage movies as blond-haired, blue-eyed cheerleaders, jocks’ girlfriends and prom queens.

    Sports Opinion: Saban burned his bridges with LSU

    by CU Independent December 14, 2007
    by CU Independent December 14, 2007

    It might not be much of a stretch to say that Nick Saban is about as popular as FEMA in the state of Louisiana.

    Saban, for those unfamiliar, is college football’s version of Benedict Arnold. He was named the “Coach of the Future” at Louisiana State University, but he skipped town to take the head-coaching job with the NFL’s Miami Dolphins.

    Crying wolf?

    by CU Independent December 8, 2007
    by CU Independent December 8, 2007

    I am a Google addict. So when I heard about the Lisa Simpson settlement, I sat down at my computer to find out the story’s details since the football rape scandal was before my time.

    Imagine my surprise at what I discovered. Instead of sympathetic responses or concern for these two women who say they have been raped, I found more than one article condemning these two women for their allegations.

    Cloudy intentions: Smoking ban paints CU as intolerant

    by CU Independent December 5, 2007
    by CU Independent December 5, 2007

    As I stroll through campus, I study the sea of unfamiliar faces moving past me.

    Each one of these countless students carries a personal set of experiences, outlooks and aspirations. In these beginning years of adulthood, we find ourselves attempting to form a definition of self and in choosing CU, we have established a community in which we join from our individual sense of self-actualization.

    Just friends? Think again

    by CU Independent December 4, 2007
    by CU Independent December 4, 2007

    In high school I was always one of the guys.

    I played video games. I watched football and I out ate my linebacker friends in eating contests. For a girly girl, I was pretty good at being one of the guys.

    Negative result, positive outcome

    After years of being sexually active, my greatest fear that emerged was testing positive on an e.p.t. stick, not testing positive for HIV.

    by CU Independent December 1, 2007

    This October was one unlike any other in the state of Colorado. After 15 years as a major league baseball franchise, the Colorado Rockies made it to the World Series for the very first time. October became known as Rocktober, a month filled with anticipation, joy and eventual disappointment.

    All signs point to Bohn

    by CU Independent November 27, 2007
    by CU Independent November 27, 2007

    In recent years, CU’s men’s football and basketball programs have been plagued by scandal and disinterest. So why the recent turnaround in public opinion? Why, all of a sudden, are slogans like “CU is back” and “Have you heard the Buzz” being seen and heard all over campus?

    Reality reruns are about togetherness

    by CU Independent November 26, 2007
    by CU Independent November 26, 2007

    On any given day, my roommates and I sit around and watch reruns of reality TV shows and bitch about our lives. We encourage each other to skip classes so that we can watch the same episode of “The Hills” for the eighth time. We literally plead with each other, “Don’t go to class. Please, stay and watch ‘Run’s House’ with me, you love this episode.”
