This is more of a call to engage than an opinion column. This is an honest inquiry — a challenge, a request, an invitation, a plea, a motion — to act.
Most girls have an addiction to buying shoes. I have an addiction to buying journals. I have accumulated more of them than I could possibly count. My collection ranges from simple, cardboard books to nice, leather bound pages.
Before Sierra Petersen participated in MSU’s Sexual Assault and Relationship Violence Prevention Program, she didn’t realize she was a survivor of relationship violence.
The definition of love has become a war zone in our modern age. The hordes of love’s interpretations threaten to suck the life out of the word. But love is not subjective. It has an objective meaning. And its truth is under relentless attack when I hear people on campus use the phrase, “Stop shoving religion down peoples’ throats.”
Sometimes when I walk across the main lobby of my dorm, I see the community kitchen. At a glance though, the second word only comes across my mind. Despite having an array of cooking utensils and instruments, the kitchen doesn’t seem to be a community one, because I rarely see it full of students.
The nurse gently reminded me to squeeze my hand for three seconds and release as she stood near my cot.
It’s that time of year again. The time where the three-letter word we’re all dreading is on the burning to-do list. It’s a word that changes you into a grown-up and confirms, despite our willingness to accept it, your employment status. J-O-B.

Well, I’ve already peaked in 2014. But I’m OK with that. The only problem with the Spartans winning the Rose Bowl is that Jan. 1 was the best day I, and many other MSU students, alumni and fans, will live this year. I guess it’s all downhill from here.

The conversation started with a question I’m sure many students ask on a daily basis. “Do you think I can take this wrap out of the cafeteria?”
Most college students throw nutrition out the window this time of the year in exchange for tasty treats. I’m sure you’ve thought the same things: “It is only for a short period of time, right? Will these little splurges actually affect my weight?” Let’s cut through the myths and find out if extra weight is worth the worry.
Most of us think of McDonald’s workers as high schoolers flipping burgers to pay for gas. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.
