When we are young, we are painted a bright and idealistic picture of our democracy. We’re told of how members of communities, states and our country come together to discuss issues and select representatives. These things are done sincerely, in the open, and with a mind toward civic interest and inclusiveness.

When a class is unpleasant or uninteresting, it can be difficult to determine who’s to blame.

Imagine walking down East Shaw Lane on a sunny fall afternoon. There’s a light breeze, but the warmth of the setting sun fends off any feelings of being cold. You take a deep breath and inhale fresh, untainted air.

Before you begin your first year of college, people always tell you that it is a different experience. They’re right. Coming from a different county made the experience all the more different for me. One such difference that I am still trying to acclimate myself to is my body.

“I love you!” a man shouted at me from the backseat window of his friend’s car. It was my first day of work, and I was sitting on a bench during my lunch break. I decided to be pleasant and jokingly replied that I loved him too. I thought that would be the end of it, but the conversation took a different turn. The next few words that came out of his mouth were the vilest form of street harassment I’ve ever heard.

As you probably experienced, a Spartan kickoff is enough to sprout enthusiastic tailgaters on every patch of grass on campus. However, there is a lot more to MSU than the green and white craze during football games. For many students, diversity isn’t on the list of the university’s most eye-catching and esteemed qualities — but it’s a significant part of MSU nonetheless.

Kids are going to defy their parents — it’s an unavoidable, cosmic law next to Newtons’, Keplers’ and Murphy’s. Pardon the narcissism, but I’m going to call this one Emily’s Law.

I ’ m not someone who has totally mastered the art of letting go. In fact, I haven’t even come close to mastering it — it’s all too easy for me to become emotionally attached to people, which is something I’ve always viewed as a flaw in my design.

Every year during the first week at MSU there is an exchange of wisdom passed down from upperclassmen to the “newbies” that consist of freshmen and transfers. In classrooms and dorms and at cafeteria tables there is a verbal list that is handed out like last week’s quiz. On this list are all the fraternity houses that are considered “safe” to party at and the other ones where you "might get raped.”

Most people have experienced the feeling of looking at something that makes them uncomfortable.

I am not Dutch. I am a visitor to the Netherlands, a guest to the city of Amsterdam and a student at the University of Amsterdam. But I am not Dutch.

I ’m sure that the vast majority of people have at least heard tidbits of the song “I’ll Make a Man Out of You” from “Mulan,” whether it be from the Disney movie itself or friends that are singing it nearby. The song depicts that obtaining a strong physique and learning discipline are the keys toward becoming a man.

Dear brave kid,

When I got my acceptance letter to MSU a flood of questions rushed into my head: What will the classes be like? Am I going to be able to handle this kind of change? What am I going to do with all of this freedom? It was a lot to take in.

Last Tuesday, our university lost a great scholar and mentor. On July 8, George Peters died of pancreatic cancer, less than two months after retiring as a professor at Michigan State University.

Recently I've come to realize that there really is such a thing as too much planning. It's no surprise that I'm constantly thinking about upcoming classes and my job search, just like any other college student.
