Bath — The offbeat tale began when a stranger walked into Daryl and Kathy Brenner's ice cream store in Bath last summer. "He looked like he was a TV reporter," Daryl said. Their customer wasn't a news broadcaster — it was Tom Izzo, perhaps one of the most recognizable faces in East Lansing. "I was sitting there starstruck," said Sarah Brenner, the couple's daughter and a 2002 MSU alumna. But tell that to Daryl, a man who prefers boxing gloves over basketballs. And just like he does with most of his customers, Daryl pulled out a few jokes, telling Izzo his frozen custard was "the best thing you'll put your tongue on," and trying to charge the basketball coach for napkins. In Michigan, almost 800 stores sell ice cream — from gas station convenience stores to Dairy Queens — but few are run like Kathy's Pier Delight. Here, the jokes run freely, and no conversation topic is taboo. "My dad always likes to tease the customers," Sarah Brenner said.

The summer before her senior year of high school, Melissa Cousino was told by doctors she had brain cancer. Three hours and an MRI later, a relieving discovery was made —the diagnosis was premature — and she actually had a less threatening disorder called neurocardiogenic syncope. Cousino said her scare shed some light on the traumatic effects cancer can have on patients and families. "For a few short hours I realized the devastation that people go through," she said. Her false diagnosis prompted her to get involved to help those who are experiencing the effects of cancer, she said. Now Cousino, a psychology junior at MSU, is the president of MSU Stars for Make-A-Wish Foundation.

If she wanted to, Susan Cavicchioli could turn her ADHD diagnosis into a profitable business. Instead of taking Adderall every morning, she could sell the in-demand psychostimulant to students who stay up late to study, who want to lose weight or who are simply looking for a mood-booster. So, in other words, basically all students. "Tons of times, people ask me (for it), but for me, it's too difficult," Cavicchioli, a hospitality business freshman, said.
