10 Reasons Why We Are SO Damn Happy To Be Back At MSU

Spartan Tailgate

Hey Spartans!

Welcome back to East Lansing. Although winter break was MUCH needed, I'm sure you all are very eager to be back at your home away from home. Whether you spent your vacation traveling, working, watching Netflix, or sitting at your parents house bored out of your mind, the time has come for second semester to finally start! There are so many reasons why you should be thrilled to be back at MSU, let's start with....

1. Seeing your friends

It's always nice to see your friends that you haven't sen in a while, especially those who live far away!

2. Having your freedom back

Not that we all don't love spending time with our family, however, at home when you stay out late your parents are probably worried. Up at school, you could not go back to your dorm for a week and nobody would even notice.

3. An end to boredom

Maybe your hometown is super exciting and fun, but for those of you who live in little towns I'm sure you are excited to be apart of the EL night life once again.

....and lets not forget about all that East Lansing has to offer....

4. Brody Caf

An endless amount of food that you don't have to cook yourself? Definitely have missed that.

5. Dairy Store

No other ice cream even compares...don't bother arguing with me on this one.

6. Conrads

I'm sure you all have missed ordering a #1 at 2 a.m or stopping in for onion rings on your way home from a party.

As well as seeing our favorite sports teams back in action....

7. Izzo season in full force

I'm sure you have all missed watching your favorite players while sitting court-side. Being able to attend the game by just walking over to Breslin is both easy and convenient.

8. Continuing our education

So many exciting opportunities are available second semester! And for our seniors....this is your last semester! Make it count.

9. Beautiful campus....and SNOW DAYS

Although walking in the bitter cold and snow is truly brutal, the possibility of having snow days is upon us. Hopefully we get a few this semester and none of us have to leave our warm, cozy beds...although our snow-covered campus truly is beautiful.

10. SYLLABUS WEEK

It's like welcome week all over again, why can't every week of school be this easy?

Transitioning back to school may not be easy for everyone, however East Lansing is our favorite place for many of us. We couldn't imagine going back anywhere else.I'm sure everyone is eager to get back into their daily routines, even though it comes with the stress of school and work. Best of luck to you all as you begin kicking second semester's ass this week! Sparty on!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
