5 Reasons I Am Excited For MSU Basketball
Justice Schihl

Basketball season is just about to kick off in full swing and honestly, I could not be more excited. This year MSU has one of the best recruiting classes under Tom Izzo and very good upper classmen who have their work cut out for them considering how last season ended.

5. Tum Tum

I love Tum Tum, he is probably one of my favorite players on the team and I think he is what Michigan State Basketball stands for. He brings great energy, leadership and excitement to the floor and brings his teammates up with him. He is also probably one of our best defense of players and the toughest. However, I am interested to see how his shooting game came along over the summer because everyone knows he is not really a shooter and to be a point guard, you need to kind of be able to shoot.

4. Eron Harris

Last year Eron was kind of out shinned by Bryn and Valentine, but this guy can shoot and he has really came a long way on his defense. He needs to have a big year on both ends of the court. We lost a lot of talent and passion last year so he has to step up. I would not be surprised if he is the guy we go to for a big play or shot to win the game.

3. Student Section

Everyone knows that the Michigan State Student section is one of the worst student sections to play against. After the first exhibition game, the student section was loud and proud letting everyone know that there will not be a loss in the Breslin this year because we will be the sixth man. We have a lot of pride and a lot of disappointment when we want to make of for through this season.

2. The Freshman

Everyone knows we have an outstanding freshman class that honestly could do great things. After the first exhibition game where Myles Bridges put up 33 points, I came to the realization of how much talent we have gained from these freshman. We are not a school known to have such a huge recruiting class but these guys could potentially start all together and that is kind of unheard of in the Michigan State Izzo era. My biggest fear is that these Freshman are going to have a great season and leave us to go into the NBA.

1. The Schedule

This is one of the toughest non-conference schedules that Izzo has ever seen. To begin the season with Arizona, Kansas, Duke and potentially Louisville is just a really tough start. So it could either be a really good start and proving that MSU is going to have a fantastic season or it is really going to show that MSU has some work to do before conference play. But I think either way it is going to be a very exciting time of Basketball.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
