1. Passion Iced Tea for the LibCafe. This colorful, fruity Starbucks beverage is absolutely delicious!

We’ve come to the last stretch of the semester with only one week left of classes before final exams begin. After our crazy SPW last weekend, you may have developed a cold (the weather doesn’t help) or just an overall disinterest to be at school any longer. The forecast predicts a chance of snow and rain for the next week and still the last thing you want to do is spend...

Unfortunately, the 10-day weather forecast predicts 50 degree, scattered showers weather for Spring Party Weekend 2013. While this will prohibit most outdoor activity, this will no means slow down our fun! As it will likely be raining, remember to dress appropriately so as to not ruin your day by having to return to your room to get a dry change of clothes. Here are our suggestions for...

As the temperatures increase, so does the amount of local produce available. Being in Hamilton, NY allows us students ample access to fresh, local produce, so let’s use it! The weekly farmers market on the village green resumes in May and supplies the Hamilton community with a wide array of fresh veggies and fruit. Even if you can’t make it to the farmer’s market, the produce in...

Even though it’s currently sleeting/snowing, after last week’s heat wave I’m confident that spring is on its way. But no matter when the warm weather actually arrives, now is the time to start your spring cleaning. Pack away your winter jackets and cords in exchange for lighter layers like skirts and sundresses. With events like formals and SPW rapidly approaching,...

Though we all love Hamilton, NY and all it has to offer, sometimes we need a break for a few days; we need a change in scenery to regenerate and take a breather from the chaos that is Colgate. I have found many students have a fear of missing out (FOMO as my roommate calls it), but sometimes the cure for our anxieties and stresses is to get away and miss out (or opt out). I personally think that...

As the spring weather moves in, and the unseasonably warm winter weather rolls out, we students are prone to getting sick. And, we all know that getting sick means falling behind in our schoolwork, missing out socially, and just feeling down. And, who wants that?

1. WASH...

You have to admit that February isn’t the most exciting month. It signifies Valentine’s Day and Black History Month. The weather is cold and dreary and you start to have a ton of work. It’s also usually the month when the money you made this summer starts to run dry yet you want and need to buy new beach wear for your upcoming spring break trip. When I...

Colgate University recently was placed near the end in the list of environmentally friendly schools, so in the spirit of our lack of environmental awareness, here is a list of things to do to help us improve.
1). RECYCLE. We were all given rcycling bins at the beginning of the year, so USE them! We have one for paper and one for plastic, so it is easy to sort your recycling. This will help so...
