    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    It’s that time of year again – you can feel it. This Friday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers will roll into Boulder to face your Colorado Buffaloes in Folsom Field in the regular season finale for both teams.

    The winner will be bowl eligible. The loser will get an early start on recruiting. It will be a cold day for what has emerged as one of the hottest rivalries in college football.

    Ahhh, fall is the season of turkey and stuffing, getting together with all those relatives who you wouldn’t bother with if you weren’t related by blood, brilliantly colored leaves dancing in the wind and the melodious sounds of Christmas music timed to the dancing lights at the…
