What do singing an off-key rendition of “Happy Birthday” before indulging in cake, shaking a packet of sugar three times before adding it to a latte and eating the crust of a sandwich before the middle have in common? All three of these situations describe a ritualistic way of eating.
Now that 2014 is upon us and classes have begun, I’m sure we all have spent ample time dwelling on the things we wished we had accomplished last year. Thanks to our good friend, the Gregorian calendar, we now have the opportunity to make amends with last year’s shortcomings and start anew. So that begs the question: What is your New Year’s resolution for 2014?
It’s the time of year when you might be second-guessing your scheduling choices, realizing that class you thought sounded like an easy 4.0 actually is going to be your hardest class yet or perhaps your seemingly perfectly-crafted last semester of college actually might turn out to be one of your toughest.
It still hasn’t hit me yet. In about four months, I’ll be graduating, leaving MSU behind to enter the so-called “adult” workforce.
From the first day I came to MSU, going green had a totally different meaning. For every trash bin I’d see on campus, there would be a set of green recycling bins tagging along.
Dear Spartan fans, Thank you. It’s obvious that Mark Dantonio and the Michigan State football program have a lot to be proud of these days.
As most of us kept an eye on university weather calls the last few days, waited to find out when we would need to brave the cold and officially make our first treks across campus for spring classes, administration successfully juggled the interests of multiple parties affected by the closures — including keeping basketball fans happy.
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.
A few days after the Spartans trumped Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, I received a call from my mother. To my surprise, she asked if I would be interested in going to Pasadena, Calif., to watch MSU’s first Rose Bowl appearance in 26 years.
It took me a few seconds to process everything again before reality sunk in. In arguably MSU’s biggest game since the late 1980s, the Spartans would have to take the field one man short — a loss that’s substantively larger than just one player.
Let’s be blunt: Adderall is dangerous, illegal and routinely being passed out like candy on campus.
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?”
ASMSU, MSU’s undergraduate student government, is set to elect a new president on Thursday. This is an excellent opportunity for constituents to connect with their representatives and voice their opinions about how ASMSU should move forward. Representatives are eager to hear from students about the qualities and agendas that they should look for in a candidate to fill this position for the coming semester.

Insurance coverage for some abortions, including in cases of rape or incest, is a simple majority vote away from being nixed in Michigan.
Most of us think of McDonald’s workers as high schoolers flipping burgers to pay for gas. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case anymore.
Immigration might seem like a far-away debate about border security in Arizona, but flawed policies hit close to home for thousands of international students at MSU. Unfortunately, after spending thousands of dollars and four or more years of their life at MSU, too many international students are forced to pack up their bags and leave the country.
Too often, poor college students see nutrition as out of their price range. A bag of dried acai berries or a fresh-pressed organic juice beverage could break the budget for students scraping by, but cheaper apples can be just as good for you.
To drink or not to drink? Let’s be real, this shouldn’t even be a question.
