Last Thursday, September 3rd, Spartans came to support the first game of the season at our one and only Spartan Stadium. There were about 15,000 people who came to the event (both students and students' friends and family). However, all the excitement does not just start and end with the game.

Before the game, there was a Spartan fall kick-off where many SJSU students gathered together and met new students, as well as ate ice cream and other delicious foods.

I interviewed Jackie Nguyen (freshman), and she mentioned to me that she had such a great time at the Spartan fall kick-off because she was able to meet tons of people and show her Spartan Pride.

"I've never been in a place filled with thousands of students who are all excited to support their friends and schoolmates. I came from such a small school; therefore, being surrounded with these types of people is what made me happy I came to SJSU," she said. She was amazed to see how many of our students cheered and shouted their enthusiasm and excitement towards our team.

For many of our SJSU students who could not attend the game, we have a wonderful resource so they could at least listen to it. Our campus's radio station, KSJS 90.5 was able to broadcast and narrate the game. Sometimes, our games are broadcasted live on television. Therefore, our upcoming games will be broadcasted on CBS Sports Network, ESPN Network, and ROOT Sports.

I'm glad to say that our team won our very first game of the season (43-13) against New Hampshire and I will continue to support our team as you should too! The feeling of excitement and eagerness of the team and supporters is mind-blowing. Just being able to surround yourself with people who are just as pumped as you are is what makes me a proud Spartan. I cannot wait until all the SJSU students reunite at the stadium and show that Spartan Pride! We hope to see you all at the next game on September 26th against Fresno State. So proud to say that I am a Spartan!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
