As the spring semester starts to pick up it’s not uncommon to see a wave of student complaints flooding social media, each one more dramatic than the last, professing how overwhelmed and stressed they are. These complaints go beyond the social media sphere.
Dear Spartan Nation: As I leave Michigan State to pursue my childhood dream of playing in the National Football League, I thank all of you who made my East Lansing experience so incredible.
I’ve worked in the food service industry. I’ve experienced awful tables and unruly customers. And I am floored that there are people who believe that wait staff do not deserve to be tipped for the services they provide.
The other day I experienced what seemed to be a mini crisis. It happened because I had some time to kill before my next class and found myself sitting in Wells Hall, just watching people pass by.
The end of this week may hold a plethora of anxieties for many of us, as Valentine's day looms over the heads of both the single and the unavailable. But, we can always create our own alternatives. As the delightful Leslie Knope of NBC's Parks and Recreation proposes — Galentine's Day is a much better option for many of us.
McDonald's "Pay with Lovin'" promotion may have been slammed by many, but I find it a refreshing way to advertise in the modern world.
I disagree. With a little bit of planning and skill, anyone can cook. But sometimes it’s hard to find where to begin.
I am a Marvel comic movie aficionado.
Websites like Netflix and Hulu have completely altered the way people watch television.
The East Lansing bars aren’t for everybody. Though the line outside of Rick’s on a typical Tuesday night may suggest otherwise, not every one of us wants to be herded into a small room like a bunch of cattle to be force-fed pitchers of cheap beer before searching out that evening’s potential mate.
We got half a snow day! Praise Sparty! Nothing like a pile of snow outside my door to make me curl up in bed and drink...hot chocolate, of course.
Sometimes, to put it lightly, a semester can be rough. During the fall it is hard for students to get out of summer mode and into school mode, much to the dismay of our GPAs. Luckily, there are ways to increase our GPAs with minimal effort.
When you graduate from MSU it's very likely that you will not be the same person you were when you first arrived. It doesn’t matter if you were that scared little freshman or the one who thought you knew everything there was to know.

As a college student, you already know how much grade point averages matter. Your GPA determines whether or not you keep your scholarships. It affects your chances of getting into grad school. It could be the tie-breaker when you’re competing for a job.
This Sunday families around America will gather around their television sets, stock up on hot dogs and chips, and recline in their couches.
Who watches football for the game any more? Sure, this is predicted to be one of the closest games in a long while (anything would look good compared to last years blowout), and apparently the oddsmakers in Vegas are predicting a 1-point win - screw that!
In the month of January, no matter if you live in the dorms or a kush loft above Taco Bell, 99 percent of the people you interact with are coughing, sneezing, runny nose — sick. Which makes the odds of staying healthy not in your favor.
The question “what kind of music do you like?” sends me into a state of panic. That question has become something of a game. A trap to see who can mention the most obscure or unique artist.
It's that time of the year again, time for students to bundle up against the fierce Michigan weather.
