Minus the City: Be Your Own Wing-Woman

Skylar Bradley and Ruby Wald, Maroon-News Staff September 17, 2019

Minus the City: Little Things, Big Fights

Daniel Dougherty, Maroon-News Staff September 10, 2019

Minus the City: Intimacy Toolkit

Kira Palmer, Maroon-News Staff April 25, 2019

I’m sad, Colgate. I’ve been sad, or stressed or angry, pretty much for the past two and a half weeks. My mood can mostly be attributed to my involvement with a certain student organization and the...

Minus the City: A Very Gate Valentine’s

Kate Hinsche, Commentary Editor February 14, 2019

Hi, dolls. I’m back. I know you’ve missed me, and I get it, the sex and relationships column just isn’t as sexy without me. I wanted to wait to make my comeback until the big V-Day, though, because...

Minus the City: What are We Scared of?

Helen Misiewicz, Maroon-News Staff February 7, 2019

Growing up, everyone had fears. Whether it was the monsters that lurked around in the dark after bedtime, spiders that crawled over scraped knees at the playground or lunchroom bullies who wielded their...

Minus the City: I’m an Old Fart

Kira Palmer, Maroon-News Staff January 31, 2019

Welcome back, all. It’s the start of my final semester at Colgate and the thought of life after Colgate makes me want to simultaneously gag and begin Jersey Shore-style fist-pumping. I have a feeling...

Minus the City: Talking Sex

Kira Palmer, Maroon-News Staff December 13, 2018

While visiting a friend over the summer, I was introduced to a podcast titled “Guys We F----,” the self-proclaimed “anti-slut shaming” podcast run by Corinne Fisher and Krystyna Hutchinson. While...

Minus the City: Try Kindness

Kira Palmer, Maroon-News Staff December 6, 2018

One night at a party not too long ago, my dear friend was quite upset. Without getting further into the details, it had to do with a guy at the party. I could see it on her face. I asked if she wanted...
