Hey! Fellow.. NMSU folk.

Suckle on Zyn if that's your jam, but don't be a dick and spit your Zyn out in the urinal. I know they magically disappear by the time you come rambling in the restroom again, but that's because someone has to fish them out.

You are actively making someone else's life worse.

I know it's a long walk from the urinal to the trash can, but I believe in your ability to grow as a person and not be an absolute piece of shit. Otherwise, keep doing it, but go find someone on the building support staff and tell them to go fuck themselves. Might as well make it clear to them who you are and how you feel about them.

Now that school has started, it's time for graduation! Night School at the Fountain Theatre concludes its first film series run with a Graduation Night Party! We will be showing short films, policy ads, ridiculous trailers for 3D movies, a music video, and many more surprises, all working within the semester's theme of movies featuring movie theaters! Shorts include The Cameraman's Revenge (1912) - a timeless tale of jealousy and revenge told with stop-motion animation using real insect corpses; The Secret Cinema (1966) - a woman begins to realize her life is being filmed for nefarious public screenings in this early work from cult filmmaker Paul Bartel; and Cut Me If You Can (2024) - stuck in the loop of a horror movie, a Black female character decides to reject her fate and rebel against the script. Best of all, this event is Free Admission!!!

I’m 20 and an undergrad at NMSU, and I’m posting this anonymously because this is pretty difficult for me to admit.

I’ve been feeling genuinely lonely on campus lately. I talk to people in my classes and I’m not completely socially isolated, but most of those interactions seem to end when class ends. Then I look around and it seems like everyone has people to eat with, study with, walk around with, or just hang out with between classes.

Sometimes being surrounded by so many people actually makes the loneliness feel worse. I’ll see groups laughing and talking and start wondering how everyone got to the point where they became comfortable enough with each other.

There have honestly been times on campus where the loneliness has gotten to me so much that I’ve felt like I was about to cry, and I’ve tried to hide it so nobody around me would notice. It’s hard to admit that because I’m usually trying to look like I’m doing fine, but sometimes being surrounded by people while feeling like I don’t have anyone there with me really gets to me.

I do have existing friends, but they’re pretty spread out and often busy with their own classes, schedules, work, or other things. So even though I know people and have people I consider friends, that doesn’t always translate into having someone who’s actually around or available when I’m on campus.

What I feel like I’m missing is more of an everyday sense of belonging on campus—having people who are happy to see you, notice when you’re around, ask what you’re doing afterward, invite you somewhere, or are comfortable just hanging out without everything needing to be planned far in advance.

I’m also a commuter, and I think that probably adds another layer to it. I’m curious whether other commuters have struggled with feeling connected to campus too.

I’ve been trying to put myself out there more instead of waiting for friendships to magically happen. I’m looking into clubs, activities, volunteering, and other ways of regularly seeing the same people. But I’m still trying to figure out how you actually cross that gap between knowing people and belonging somewhere.

So I’m curious: has anyone else here gone through a period like this? If you eventually found a group or became more connected, what actually helped?

And if you’re another student around my age who’s also been feeling this way and looking for more friends, feel free to comment or DM me. Maybe there are more of us quietly dealing with this than we realize.

I don’t know what will come from posting this, but I figured I’d rather say it somewhere than keep acting like it doesn’t bother me.

Hello NMSU community! I am a documentary filmmaker, and I'm in search of David Spriggs, quarterback for the NMSU football team 1978, or any of the offensive players from that team that worked with Offensive Backfield coach Jim Nagel.

Please reach out to me directly and let me know if you have any contacts to share.

See below some archival photos from NMSU vs SIU 1978, Spriggs rushing for a touchdown.

I moved out of Las Cruces two years ago and the only thing I miss is Thai Delight in Mesilla. This might be a reach, but does anyone work there or know anyone who has worked there that can give me an ingredient list for the Thai fried rice that they serve, I can’t find anything in Colorado that tastes similar and I crave it so intensely i’ve considered driving the 10 hours just to eat there again.

Hey, I got approve for work study and it’s my first time. I applied to different positions on handshake. What’s the normal window to hearing a response on either I got hired ir not?
Thanks

Hey, I’m 20 and an undergrad at NMSU. I’m trying to meet more people (preferably also in the 18-21 age range) and expand my social circle this semester. I’m into movies, music, gaming, and more. Would anyone else be interested in hanging out on campus sometime or studying together? I’m also a commuter, so I don’t live on campus.

I’ve been feeling pretty lonely on campus lately, even though I’m around people all the time. I do talk to people in my classes, but most of those interactions seem to stay in class, and I have trouble figuring out how to turn them into actual friendships. I’d really like to have more people I can casually text, grab lunch with, study with, or just hang out with between classes without everything having to be planned way in advance.

Sometimes it feels like everyone else already found their people and I’m still trying to figure out where I fit in. I’ll see groups of people laughing, eating together, or just hanging around campus and wonder how they all met and got comfortable enough with each other to do that. I know I’m only seeing a small part of their lives, but sometimes it still makes me feel like I’m missing out.

I’m trying to put myself out there more instead of just hoping friendships happen on their own, but I’ll admit I’m sometimes nervous about approaching people because I don’t know what’s considered normal. Like, can I just go into one of the food courts and ask if I can sit with people? Can I go to the library and ask to sit with someone? How do you tell when someone is actually open to talking versus wanting to be left alone? I genuinely don’t know how people normally do this lol.

I’m also open to suggestions for places, clubs, recurring activities, events, study groups, or anything else where it’s actually easy to talk to people and get to know the same people over time. I’m less interested in just being surrounded by a bunch of people and more interested in actually connecting with some of them.

I guess the biggest thing I’m trying to understand is how you get from “I recognize this person and we sometimes talk” to “we actually hang out.” How do people go from being classmates or acquaintances to making plans, hanging out between classes, grabbing food, studying together, or eventually becoming actual friends?

Hi, I'm just curious if there any art clubs or similar on campus? I went to the fair thing they had in front of Corbett, but I couldn't find anything, thank you!

Daughter is a proud NMSU alum and we live in Houston. We want to drive up for the NMSU vs Sam Houston game on 10/21. Question is: where to sit / buy tickets for? Is there an area of the stands reserved for the visiting team? For the families of the visiting players. We want to sit in friendly territory and don't know where that is.

One whole side of their stadium is general admission with the other having reserved seats. Is there an Aggie section there? Where is the Aggie band going to be? Inquiring minds want to know!

Let's wobble in our shoes! Go Aggies!

Can we park after 4:30 at any parking lot???

Also, should i be worried if I haven't received my money yet???

I'm from out of state and have always been in places that have prevalent recycling bins paired with trash cans. But I'm really struggling to find any recycling bins outside of the football stadium. None on campus housing centers. Why is this? And why do the people from New Mexico say they've never really recycled before?

Anyone know where I can find some easily accessible bins?

Hey all, a few weeks back I posted the New Mexico State preview in here and it seemed like people got something out of it, so I wanted to share the actual site it came from.

Short version: I do pregame emails before every game, then postgame box scores, highlights and summaries. Free, and it's only the teams you follow, no filler.

NMSU page: https://www.highlights.mainmarket.com/new-mexico-state-aggies

And the preview itself if you missed it: https://www.highlights.mainmarket.com/college-football-preview-2026-fbs/new-mexico-state-aggies

Year three under Sanchez, and Hedden's back. Go Aggies!

Hello! Does anybody know where I can find a recitations workbook for this class? The bookstore is all out.

Is anyone looking for a frontman or wants to start a punk band?

My favorite artist/inspirations are The Plot in You, Vince Staples, Lorna Shore, Denzel Curry, The Armed, JID, the Callous Daoboys, Childish Gambino, etc

Hello! Exciting news! I just launched a fundraiser to help NMSU SAND (Student Association of Nutrition & Dietetics) students attend the Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) 2026 in San Antonio, TX, where they can learn from top nutrition professionals, build connections, and bring back new knowledge to our community. This opportunity can truly shape their futures in health and dietetics, but the costs of registration, travel, and lodging can be a challenge.

Your support—big or small—can make a real difference. A $10 donation helps with meals or transportation, while larger contributions can cover travel and lodging for students who need it most. Every share also helps us reach more people who care about the future of nutrition.

Please consider donating or sharing this with your friends and family. Together, we can give these students the chance to grow, learn, and make a difference in our communities. Thank you so much for your support! 🌟🍎

Has anyone completed the MSW online program that could please share their experience/feedback costs?? Do they overload the students with assignments? Testing? Is it doable working full-time/school age children? I am really interested and debating whether MSW is better than an LPC as I would like to work for VA.

I noticed the food court in Corbett is under construction and was wondering what changes were being made?

anyone know when the first checks for grad student employees will be coming in? i found the pay schedule but not the start date

Anyone loans still unpaid? I still don’t see my unsubsidized loans paid yet

Hiiii! So I’m so happy to see that we all got our classes paid already thank god, but does anybody know when we’re supposed to get a refund? Or if anybody’s gotten them yet? Yo girl needs to put gas 😭
