So the best way to commemorate St. John Student Parish’s 50 years in East Lansing, she said, was to put personal stories of alumni on display. Collecting stories and experiences of at least 50 alumni from the past five decades was an easy feat, said Schweitzer, a pastoral associate who has been working at the parish for 30 years.

Make the most of last days at MSU
There are certain behaviors and habits that are only socially acceptable at college. Depending on your future career, walking out of the house in sweatpants won’t be acceptable.

And to some, going to the bar during the week might just look like pure desperation rather than an attempt to socialize with your peers. I’m not condoning overindulgence in these behaviors, but you should enjoy them while you can.
