I received an email. It was for a survey. This is one of it's questions and below it was the response. Finally, a chance for me to complain about this school, in which no one will probably read. But I don't care. It's my own way of coping with this school. I'd like to know what any current/ex/alumni MSU students think. I would be grateful for that. And for everyone else at a different college or university, tell me if you've had the same or a different experience with what is listed here.
What is a Spartan? What does a Spartan stand for? What does it mean to you to be a Spartan?
A Spartan usually is drunk, and ripping down cork boards in the halls, where I, a maintenance worker, have to clean it up the next morning. A Spartan never questions the tuition increase no matter how much stuff they are unnecessarily building on campus. A Spartan knows that college is not about actually learning material for the long term, but it's knowing what will be on the exam and studying for JUST the exam. A Spartan knows that class is always optional so the Spartan will ultimately stay up playing Halo until 4 in the morning and sleeping through class the next morning. A Spartan is always inconsiderate of those who live around him/her so they will crank their bass up to MAX. A true Spartan, is not a Spartan. A Spartan should rise up and change things, but in doing so, the Spartan will be kicked out of Sparta. I will not bow down to you Lou Anna K.
