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

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
