31 Times I Fell In Love With Michigan State

There’s this place that I call home. It's where I have spent the most amazing year of my life, and where I'll be lucky enough to spend the next three, as well. With every day I spend at Michigan State, I fall more and more in love. It's the people, the experiences and the ability to say that I am a Spartan. These are just 31 of the many times I have fallen in love with MSU all over again:

1. Walking around campus during your tour as a high schooler and realizing you are home

2. Every time the football team runs out onto the field and your body gets covered in goose bumps

3. Being in the student section at football games

4. Going to your first frat party

5. Your first MSU Dairy Store experience

6. The first time you see something odd floating down the Red Cedar River

7. Seeing Munn Field covered in tents for the Izzone Campout

8. When Michigan fumbled the ball and we won with no time left on the clock

9. All the memories (even the ones you can't remember) from Rick's

10. Going to Conrad's after a night at Rick's

11. When you see a professor skate boarding to class

12. When you realize half of your closet is green and white

13. When the alumni come home to tailgate

14. When there are puppies at the lib

15. When you realize there is a club for almost anything

16. When you leave campus and still see Spartan fans everywhere

17. Playing an intramural sport

18. When they shot a scene from Batman on campus

19. Dressing up for all 3 nights of Halloween

20. Seeing the passion that the professors have for what they are teaching you

21. Being a part of a Big Ten school

22. While standing on top of Shaw Ramp looking out over the campus

23. Running at IM West and being able to look over the balcony at all the buff guys working out

24. After accepting your bid into Greek Life

25. Participating in a study abroad

26. While getting hit by a bagel outside Cedar Village

27. While getting screamed at by Wells Hall preachers

28. When the weather is perfect and everyone is outside

29. Realizing you still have your combo exchange for that day

30. While painting the rock

31. Being a part of the Spartan Family

Michigan State is so much more than just a school. It is a place where you find your best friends, create your future and make memories that you will never forget. It's home.

GO GREEN! GO WHITE!

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1268

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

Washington College

CSU

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2618

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

I get it... I'm pale.

1. At least I can't lose you in a crowd!

2. Oh my goodness your skin is like glow-in-the-dark.

3. Can't you just get fake tan?

4. Do you tan or just burn?

5. Your kids are going to look like Casper the Friendly Ghost!

3. That anxiety that takes over before every performance:

4. Taking a million 0 credit classes:

5. When there's a paper due the next day, but you have to attend yet another concert in order to pass a 0 credit class:

6. When your friends try to encourage you after a performance, even though you are criticizing everything in your mind:

7. Knowing that there's always that one professor during juries:

8. The oh-so-attractive band/choir uniforms:

9. Realizing that a college campus is maybe not the best atmosphere to finish your latest composition:

10. Hearing "Oh, you sing opera? I LOVE Phantom of the Opera!" for the hundredth time:

11. When people think finals week is a breeze for you.

12. When you're drowning in the stress that comes with 18+ credits (and not to mention all those 0 credit classes) and people ask you how you are:

13. When it all comes down to it, though, you know that at the end of the day, music is your passion:

Because you need it in your life.
