In the year 2123, I, Ethon Harrow, emerged from cryogenic sleep, with my memories fragmented. I found myself in a sterile room, a stark contrast to my last hazy memory of rushing out of the newsroom. I wondered how I had ended up in that cryogenic chamber, a mystery that left me disoriented …

As I sit down to write the final installment of "Fear by the Numbers," an eerie calm envelops me. It's akin to the unsettling stillness that fills a haunted house just before the spirits stir. This series has been a journey into the labyrinth of horror, a genre that has captivated audiences …
Picture yourself driving along a remote, moonlit highway, the only sounds being the hum of your engine and the distant rustle of nocturnal creatures. The atmosphere is thick with an unsettling stillness as if the night itself is holding its breath. Suddenly, a grotesque figure with bat-like …
A jazz ensemble recital was held on Wednesday, Oct. 25 at the Blue Buffalo Art Gallery. It was directed by ASU’s Assistant Band Director Trent Shuey and was the first time in the university’s history that the jazz program featured two big bands instead of only one. Both bands included saxoph…
Imagine drifting into a dream, a labyrinth of your subconscious where every turn reveals a new enigma. The walls close in as you wander through a maze of dimly lit hallways adorned with eerie paintings whose eyes seem to follow your every move. The air is thick with tension and your heart po…
On Thursday, Oct.12, I went to watch Angelo State University Theatre’s performance of “Lost Girl,” written by Kimberly Belflower and directed by Rebekah Clark. I have been to multiple ballets, operas, high school musicals, taken theater classes and gone to theater camps. My taste for the art…
Imagine the icy grip of Crystal Lake's water enveloping you as you wade deeper. The moonlight barely pierces the surface, casting eerie shadows on the lake bed. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves. Your foot brushes against something unsettling below. You lock e…
As Madea would say, “Hellur!” As you likely don't know me, my name is Rigoberto Sauceda, a freshman and the new sports writer for Angelo State University's Ram Page. I go by Rigo, seeing as my name is a bit long. I tend to go to every home game for every sport, so you've likely spotted me be…
Picture an autumn evening in Haddonfield, Illinois, so crisp it could snap. The air is heavy with the musky scent of decaying leaves. The distant laughter of children in Halloween costumes contrasts sharply with the night's darker undertones. Lurking in the shadows is Michael Myers, a figure…

Looking back, I’ve always been interested in fighting in films and television shows, but my interest has always accompanied the values of honor, protection and integrity. I didn’t necessarily want to fight, rather I wanted to know how to fight for defense and fitness. That’s why I was natura…
Hi there! My name is Aletheia Sandley, and I’m a photographer here at Ram Page, which should be a pretty good indicator that I’m not much of a writer, but regardless, it never hurts to do a little writing from time to time. Despite how funny and honestly ridiculous the story may seem, a "sur…
Hey there! I'm Ethan Mason. Before we dive into the nitty-gritty, let's break the ice with a bit of humor. Imagine I started this introduction with, "Hi, I'm Ethan Mason, and I'm a Scorpio. I enjoy long walks on the beach and … wha-? What? Oh, that’s not what we’re doing? I just thought … we…
After the sweltering start to summer in the Concho Valley, now is a great time to review what happens when we underestimate what high levels of heat can do to our bodies.

Hey! My name is Kaitlyn Woods, and I am a photographer at the Ram Page. For starters, here's a little bit about me. I’m currently a junior majoring in marketing with a minor in communications. I’m the youngest of three siblings, so obviously I'm a firm believer of the phrase “saved the best …
You may think it is impossible to buy a house at the age of 18, but it is not. With the help of my parents, I did it. Owning and taking care of the house is my responsibility, while my parents are paying for the house. While signing hundreds of pages of official documents might seem easy, it…

The notion that clothing can determine consent is a harmful and dangerous myth that has been perpetuated for far too long. While it may seem like a simple idea, the implications of this myth are far-reaching and damaging. Not only does it suggest that someone's clothing choices can justify u…
To our valued readers, the ASU community and the San Angelo area,
I have recently been reminded of the beauty of free speech and the ability to have my own opinion. I wanted to use my space and sphere of influence to share my thoughts on a harder topic, but one I truly feel is necessary to speak up about.

Irish musician Hozier released his latest single, "Eat Your Young," on March 17. The song, which is a departure from his usual folk-inspired sound, showcases a more experimental side of the artist. This new direction is marked by a heavier use of electronic instrumentation, which gives the t…
I’m not breaking any ground by saying this, but let me be the first Ram Page reporter to express how exhausting it is to live through so many major historical moments. Think about how weird it is that, as you’re reading this, we’re seeing the first US president to be indicted on federal char…
As Angelo State’s I Chose ASU Week draws to a close, The Ram Page staff once again asks themselves the all-important question of why we chose the Blue and Gold to be the place where our careers, aspirations and friendships take shape. Be it for the scholarships, family, local culture and mor…
Growing up in Kentucky, I had always dreamed of going to The University of Kentucky in Lexington, Kentucky. I had grown up just miles from the college and was certain I would be attending that school. All of my plans changed when my parents informed my brother and me that we were moving to A…
The month of March is a special time for women. Women’s History Month allows women to have recognition. Some women just sit back and like and share posts about Women’s History Month, while others are the ones posting and speaking about Women’s History Month. In honor of the month, I decided …
Much like most of the people you or I know, my eyes snap open after two or four alarms every morning, and I do my best to bring 110% to my classes and both my jobs. I really strive to not only feel like I’m a hard-working member of my community but that the jobs I do have a positive influenc…
Of all the apps I have on my phone, I have spent the most time on Spotify. I’m obsessed with making fun little playlists for every occasion possible and optimizing how many times I can add my favorite artists to a playlist.

On Feb. 16, ASU honored 270 student-athletes with a fall GPA of 3.0 or higher with medals and recognition at the halftime of the men’s basketball game for student-athletes. I was among these student-athletes. Some may question why student-athletes get recognition for their GPA while regular …
Sororities are so cliché, just like the one shown in “Legally Blonde,” right? I thought so too, and even joked about it my entire freshman year of college. However, randomly deciding to go through informal recruitment on a Tuesday afternoon in the University Center led to me attending not on…
It’s been a few months since I made a top-five song list, and I wanted to bring it back for a second installment! So much new music has come out since I last made a list, and I’ve also discovered some older songs that I have now come to love. So let’s get to it, shall we?
I love writing. I love how you can attempt to capture a moment in words and descriptions, stringing letters together into a garland of memories. I think it's beautiful.
In a world struggling to find its new normal in the aftermath of a worldwide pandemic, the population, at least through my lens, is looking toward the mind. Where physical healing is difficult to find, people seem to have turned to inward healing.
I am a member of the women's soccer team at Angelo State University, and being a student athlete is hard but has its rewards. During the fall semester, we practice six times a week for approximately two hours or less every practice alongside weightlifting sessions twice a week.
Wow. It’s really been a whole year since the last Thanksgiving article, hasn’t it? Well, time has passed and people have come and gone, but the Ram Page still remains. Since we last told you all what we’re thankful for, we’ve seen good friends and great writers move on to greener pastures an…
With Halloween just around the corner and all the scary decorations starting to come out, I wanted to give my top three movie recommendations for Halloween 2022.
After two years of COVID-19 madness, the world faces yet another viral disease - monkeypox.
Dear Texas Tech University System students,
On Oct. 10, 2007, “Team Fortress 2” was released. Created by the Valve Corporation, the team-based shooter quickly became an icon in popular culture thanks to its hectic gameplay, cartoonish art style and easily-recognizable characters, among other things.
When I first stepped into the movie theater to watch the 2022 release of “Uncharted,” I was excited. I’ve always liked to see the spectacle of action movies, and knowing that the film was based on a well-loved video game franchise only made it all the more interesting to see how it would tra…
Being a college student can be hard: balancing your school work, job, extracurriculars, and other responsibilities can get difficult. Being a student with a chronic illness can make all those hurdles even higher - having to monitor your health, take medications, and having to watch what you …
