Going Deeper: Love at first "site"

Unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties when trying to record this episode. Our first recording got lost on the computer, and the second recording lost a bit of the beginning of the audio as well. We still were able to save most of our second recording to get out to you all after our short hiatus, and we hope you all love this week's episode. Hosts Elle Fromm, Anthony Brinson III and Jada Vasser will be talking about our own experiences with online and long distance relationships.

East Lansing is getting cold, fast. Here’s how out-of-state students are staying warm

East Lansing Moosejaw manager Collin Tarr said preparing for cold weather couldn't be more important. Very few pieces of clothing can "do everything you need them to do," he said. According to Tarr, a warm winter outfit consists of three parts for the body: a base layer like a t-shirt, a warm middle layer like a sweater or sweatshirt and a thermal winter jacket for an outer layer. If it’s rainy, snowy or windy, a fourth waterproof layer like a poncho or rain jacket can be helpful.
