Hello, dear reader, and welcome to the first State News opinion page of the semester. Maybe you’re perusing a hard copy of the newspaper as you wait for your first class to begin. You also might be scrolling around on the Web. Either way, this is your section, and I want to make you feel at home.

I very distinctly remember a hot day in September when I stood at the bus stop in front of the Communication Arts and Sciences Building and listened to a girl talk to pretty much anyone who would listen about getting involved in campus life.

It is jarring to believe that just a decade ago, people around the world panicked in fear of the dreaded Y2K bug that surely would be the end of us all.

This year’s MSU football team would have beaten last year’s team.

We all have Christmas traditions. Some might be personal and family centered, such as whether your family opens presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, while others might be national, such as the 24-hour loop of “A Christmas Story” on TBS every Christmas Eve.

In life, we come to discover that we must become self-sufficient in order to make our lives the most effective. We cannot rely on our parents for the rest of our lives — at least most of us can’t — and above all, we cannot count on anything from anyone.

So this is the end. Again. Well, it’s the end for me, at least. Yes, I am finally taking that fateful walk and picking up that empty container that would contain my diploma — if MSU actually gave it to you at graduation.

It was a cold, rainy October day when he pulled me over at the intersection of Division Street and Grand River Avenue.

If you were like me this past weekend, you enjoyed a tremendous feast, its leftovers and spent a lot of quality time with those you care about. But Thanksgiving is just the beginning to a month of holiday splendor. December is the quintessential holiday month. It’s a time to spend with your family and friends.

I have a confession to make. For this week’s column, I originally penned a pretty scathing and sarcastic piece directed at the MSU administration, law enforcement officials and athletic departments for what I considered to be an obstinate denial to release any information regarding the assault that occurred Nov. 22 in Rather Hall.

I am a single young woman, and I am not looking for a relationship. After recently ending a relationship, I wanted some time to myself, but the relationship drama has not stopped following me around. I can’t seem to get away from it, and it isn’t all mine.

With the economy in a rut, unemployment remaining stubbornly high and consumer spending understandably down, retailers put extra emphasis this year on driving customers to holiday sales. Accordingly, Black Friday saw thousands of shoppers line up late at night to participate in the annual orgy of consumer spending named for the day that many retailers’ and manufacturers’ books move from “the red” of losses to “the black” of profitability.

We don’t have time for this. There are BS 111 pages to read, papers to write and coffee friendship-resuscitating events to attend. If you read this while power walking to the bus, or are already on the third paragraph because your schedule only can afford skimming, then I’m like you.

I’ve lived on Earth for my entire life, and I’ve grown very fond of my home planet. I would, quite literally, be crushed if anything were to happen to it.

We are experiencing a real “sign of the times” moment at MSU. The economy has plummeted, and although it appears we have hit the bottom, we do not know how long we will be here.

I rush from class to office hours, then to my counselor, back to class and to work. I don’t sleep for 40 hours in an attempt to get caught up from that one night I spent talking about religion, politics and the English army instead of doing my Mandarin Chinese. I bike in the pouring rain, the cluttered leaves, the freezing temperatures. And I keep getting lost on the Capital Area Transportation Authority buses.

I once accidentally flicked off a priest because I thought he was one of you. Anytime my daily run is interrupted by an obnoxious car horn, I immediately jump to conclusions, and the end result is the high-flying, rage-filled, stride quickening and obscene hand gesture that is provenly effective at assuring either one of two things.

From an early age, we’re taught the value of compromise. Whether it’s learning to share in kindergarten, conflict resolution in elementary school or mastering the give-and-take relationship in marriages, society expects us all to come to a compromise on a number of issues.

When game times for this weekend’s Big Ten games were announced, a friend of mine, who happens to be a Michigan fan, texted me, “Michigan-Ohio State at noon on ABC. Great, now the whole nation can laugh at us again.”
