MSU, You've Failed Us

Dear administration, can you hear us now?

MSU, You've Failed Us
Honda Carter

MSU, you’ve failed us

You’ve let us all down

But instead of admitting your wrongs

You only removed one crown

Yes, Simon was our leader

And it’s claimed that ā€˜she did what she had to do’

But MSU trustees, when will your time be due?

If she knew, you all knew

Mark Hollis, you too

Your retirement came at the perfect time

Precisely when the investigation found the news

Since 1996, Nassar has abused his position

ā€œHe hurt me.ā€

ā€œDon’t tell stories.ā€

No one really wanted to listen

Now administration is so ā€œwokeā€

After 265 truths

But where exactly were you all when these women first said,

#MeToo

Now, there is a time for change

You’ve began by leaving us out

You still don’t understand

So I guess we’ll have to take the harder route

We will chant until you hear us

Stand outside your doors

Disrupt in all your meetings

And hold our stance until you all do more

We are MSU

Students, faculty and staff

We would love to stand with you on this

But we have not chosen Engler to represent on our behalf

My heart has broke in a million pieces

Listening to their hidden stories

20 years of deceit

And you think a new president means no worries?

Time is up MSU!

You should choose your side

Because a Spartan’s Will,

Never truly dies.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
