Our college experience has been anything but ordinary.
We all have our own Tom Izzo stories. The moment you first got to meet him, shake his hand and hear his frequently raspy voice in-person. Everyone remembers it.
In honor of the 37th National Girls and Women in Sports Day, the women of The State News sports and multimedia desks share what the day means to us. Here are our perspectives on being women in sports and why we celebrate today.
Before I moved to Michigan State University this fall, I was told, by numerous sources, that the coming months would be the greatest time of my young life. One person told me that “college is gonna be bananas with a capital B.”
Two years ago, Michigan State women's soccer won one game all season long.
For Women’s History Month, I sought out new (and reconnected with some old) female artists, and I’ve compiled a list of my favorites. For this list, I decided just to choose current underrated and/or unknown artists. Hopefully I can introduce you to some new tunes, and if you already know these artists, then congratulations, you have great taste.
I sat down in the theater a couple of weeks ago and watched "The Batman." Through the movie, I kept seeing something that put me a little on edge.
In honor of Women’s History Month, I decided to compile a list of films directed/written by women that center around female characters. And this was actually quite harder than I anticipated. Although these movies had female representation that was far superior to said representation in movies written by men, I still ran into some issues. As I looked through countless lists of movies by and about women, I found that so many of them — especially movies about women of color — focused on female pain and suffering. Although I was able to find a few happier movies, it was difficult to find those for a diverse group of women. It is incredibly important to portray the struggles that women — especially women of color — go through in film, but I wished there were more movies that you all could just straight up enjoy, since it is exhausting to watch female suffering at the hands of men on screen over and over. But then again, maybe it’s impossible to separate women from this pain, as it is something we all have to endure.
Our newsroom is prepped and ready to go for our biggest event of the year: March Madness.
If you’re a young woman on social media, you’ve likely been exposed to the newest trend: being a 'clean girl'.
When you’re a low-income, first generation college student, there are a lot of fears that come with attending college that other people may not even think about. Of the 56 students in my high school class, there were only a few people that went on to attend a four-year university. The rest either picked up jobs, went to community college or joined the military.
Less than 300 days ago, I was stationed in southeastern Europe. For eight months of my life, Kyiv was the same distance as Florida is to my home in Michigan.
It’s that time of year again … Valentine’s Day: the holiday that places pressure on both singles and couples. It is the day where your social media feed will be flooded with couples and the way they are celebrating it. While it may be a romantic holiday for some, it can be awkward for those who have never experienced it.
Life is a bit drabbier in the winter. Not sure which is worse, the jolt of cold when you first get out of your bed or that numbing sensation in your body when you underdress for the weather. Looking out of the window at 5:30 p.m. only for the sky to be pitch black outside, it is easy to feel disconnected from the world, your sensation dulled. If anything this list hopes to achieve, though, is to make you feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins again, realizing that there are still things in life to look forward to.
We’re all familiar with the dialogue about New Year’s resolutions — do they work? Are they productive, or do they just make us feel worse about ourselves?
As the end of the year approaches us, an age-old question arises from music enthusiasts all over the world, what is the album of the year?
A lot of people get really confused when I tell them that I'm in the Marines, and I get it. How am I both a full-time college student and in the Marines?

There’s not many times in my life that I can say I feel like Ben Affleck — but the last three weeks of my life felt ripped off the script of “Gone Girl”.
