Saturday night former Michigan State Punter Mike Sadler died after a car accident in Wisconsin. Sadler, 24, was the driver in a single car accident, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department.

Police say that Sadler lost control of his car on wet pavement and hit a tree. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Nebraska punter Sam Foltz also died in the crash and Louisiana State place kicker was transported to the hospital with injuries. They were all in Wisconsin for a weekend punting camp.

Sadler was four-time Academic All-American and was scheduled to start classes at Stanford Law in the fall.

Sadler was known around Michigan State’s campus for his hilarious social media feed, of which he had a few notable encounters with parody Twitter accounts.

Sadler also got a lot of recognition for his trick plays including this one against Michigan in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RspNRAMaku4

I never had any personal interactions with Sadler, but I did run a Twitter account that he would occasionally reply back and forth with, and he seemed like an awesome guy with a great sense of humor.

Everyone I know who has interacted with him has nothing but good things to say about his character. The Michigan State community has truly lost someone special.

So as we mourn the loss of Sadler, let us come together as a community and remember the incredible player he was for our football team, but also remember the incredible guy he seemed to be. Thank you, Mike Sadler, for leading our football team to many victories as well as being someone Michigan State will forever remember. You will be missed.

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.

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.
