Iowa State University

Iowa State students seem to speak their own language sometimes. If you haven't attended the University, you probably would have no idea where to get a Superdog at.

Albino squirrel

Out of the hundreds of squirrels wondering on campus, you know you’re gonna have a good semester when you see the albino squirrel.

Bundies

If you haven’t tried Convos chicken strips, you haven’t lived!

Campaniling

Technically you aren’t a true Iowa Stater if you haven’t campaniled.

Clone Cone

Probably one of the main reasons you go to Hilton.

Curtiss to Beardshear

Sprinting butt naked from building to building… Common’ people, it’s tradition!

DIS

Destination Iowa State. The only time you will see hundreds of people walking in packs, plus you get a free t-shirt!

Dollar/Mug night

The best nights to go to the bars. Save money and get trashed!

Hilton Magic

Everyone knows the colosseum is magic. Go Clones!

LegaCY

Whether you are participating Dance Marathon, working in the dining centers or working out at State Gym, you are leaving your legaCY.

Towers

We feel bad for the freshman who live there. Have fun on Brown North!

U Dick

Referring to the dining center Union Drive Community Center (UDCC).

VEISHEA

A week for our eterinary Medicine, Engineering, Industrial Science, Home Economics, and Agriculture majors. Unfortunately, we don’t have the celebration anymore, but everyone knows what the insane week of partying really was.

Welch

This street not only holds the best bars in Ames, but some of the best food as well. Superdog, Fighting Burrito and more!

Yell Like Hell

No other campus’ Greek Community is quite like Iowa State's. In honor of homecoming, each Greek pairing puts together a huge show dedicated to their beloved Cyclones.

The Zodiac

Don’t walk over it or you

23 Orange

How else are you going to get around campus? Thanks, CyRide!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
