Since announcing his proposed changes, I have observed a sudden change of heart among the president’s formally demoralized supporters. The criticism that once was so passionately expressed by students seems to have dissipated and been replaced with sighs of relief and praise for the president.
“I have gay friends.”“I have black friends.”“No homo.”“That’s so gay.”These are phrases most of us probably hear all the time, either just off-hand in conversation or in defense of comments that people make about the LGBT community or different racial communities.Although people might use these phrases unknowingly, the truth is that they have the potential to single out members of our diverse MSU community.
When I’m out with my friends, sometimes we will see a girl who has put a lot of effort into the makeup she’s wearing.
Most of us are guilty of it. With pages of assigned reading looming, like a typical college kid I leave my textbooks in my backpack some nights.
It’s yet again another early morning and you woke up late for class. To make matters worse, that essay you just stayed up all night trying to finish is due and your printer just ran out of ink.
In the past few weeks, every time I have come across the TV in the cafeteria playing the latest news, I have not been able to get past thirty seconds without seeing an update on the crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. For the few that may not be aware, there recently was a Boeing 777 that reportedly crashed while crossing the Indian Ocean.
Flashback to senior of high school. The question “Where are you going to college?” probably followed most of us around like a lost puppy.
People’s reactions to opposing opinions can be ridiculous — beyond laughable to say the least. You don’t have to look further than Derek Kim’s column on the cons of same-sex marriage to know what I’m talking about. And if you think I’m calling Derek out, you’re horribly mistaken. I’m pointing out some of the comments calling him an “idiot,” saying it’s a shame he will get an MSU degree and saying religion is “for suckers.”
With only about six weeks left in the spring semester at MSU, I realized not only are classes slowly coming to a close, but I will be moving out of my house for the summer.When I say house, my house is a bit different from everybody elses.
When you imagine the stereotypical co-op kid, a few traits may pop into your mind: vegan, Phish lover, dubious standards of hygiene, space case, organic food enthusiast, environmental advocate, pie-the-sky idealist, etc.I would like to take this opportunity to dispel the typecast and offer up a more accurate and realistic image of what the typical co-op-er looks like.
On Friday, March 21st the battlefield that Michigan’s gay and lesbian couples see in front of them changed.
I’d be ignorant to think Friday’s overturning wasn’t inevitable for the state of Michigan. The Court of Appeals offered a ripple of hope on Saturday, but the tidal wave that is the LGBT agenda is too great.
My name is Sergio Martínez-Beltrán, and I speak Spanish.Yes, I know many people speak Spanish; the only difference is that Spanish is my native language.
Everyone says not to continue dating your high school boyfriend when you go to college.“But we’re in love,” I would protest.
As my freshman year draws to a close, I’ve begun to recognize how much I’ve screwed up.Hindsight is 20/20, but life is about learning from your mistakes.
As college students, we are used to sleepless nights, be it to looming exams, roommate drama, or Netflix binges.
I realize you are expressing your opinion and am sorry you feel that way. I lived in Holmes as one of the Lyman Briggs kids you mentioned and absolutely loved it.
The five stages of grief.It’s Tuesday, March 4 at11:06 p.m. I’m relaxing in a hotel lobby after spending a relaxing day under the Florida sun on spring break.Buzz.
I don't have any tattoos or facial piercings myself, so I can't provide a lot of personal experience or insight on the topic, but?I'm envious of anyone ballsy enough to make a permanent decision like getting a tattoo.Tattoos and piercings use your body as a medium to express yourself.
This past week has bore witness to a major evolution in the punishment of BP over the oil spill which decimated the gulf region only a few short years ago, giving more leeway to the oil giant than initially decided by our legal system.
