Clean up and Tailgate!

Hey!

The CRC ice cream socials are officially done! Who would’ve thought I would miss those tubs of ice cream so much. It is also that time of the year that could make students shiver campus wide: MIDTERM WEEK. So every nook has been taken over by students who realize, “wow, I have been in school for HOW long?!”. I always say that I can only comprehend that there are 40,000 students at MSU until exam periods. I walk into a library and just sigh.
Besides the great studying that will be done this coming weekend makes me think of last weekend. These past couple of days has reminded me how great it is to be a Spartan. With the defeat of our biggest rivals, University of Michigan, joy and pride filled our hearts. For some reason, this joy and pride translated to trash and litter on the streets of East Lansing. We had our second football clean up on the Sunday after the game. It was a bigger success than the first, which was very exciting! We got people from different organizations, such as C.A.R.E. on campus, and also residents that read about it in the newspaper. It took a little over an hour and it was all done! Spirits were still high from the heart-gripping game the day before, which helped our success. However, I believe the rain and cold may have deterred some would-be participants. We did get a much better turn-up though!
This Saturday, Michigan State is playing away at Illinois. CRC will be holding an “Away Game Tailgate” that will take place on the 500 block of Cornell Street. If anyone is interesting in watching the game, eating some food, and getting to know other East Lansing residents, please come over around 10 a.m.! It should be a good time to represent our college with some CRC fun! Have a wonderful weekend!

Go Green,

Kanika
