MSU Red Cedar Message Board

So I'm in grad school and have a few issues with the Michigan grads around here...

It all started on the first day of orientation when we were doing activities to break the ice and get to know each other. We all sat in a huge circle and took turns standing in the middle doing whatever comical activity that we were asked to do by one of the professors. It was all fun until one dick was asked to sing a song and proceeded to belt out the UM fight song. I thought, okay, one asshole out of 200 isn't too bad...except half of our class joined him. I'm pretty laid back and it was the first day so I blew it off.

A few weeks later, I stopped by my class's tailgate party for the Michigan game and noticed half of my classmates were wearing maize and blue and telling everyone MSU was going to get their ass beat and blah, blah, blah. I ignored it for a while before eventually asking the obvious question on if they loved UM so much, why didn't they go there, which shut them up for a few minutes since we all knew the had been rejected. Looking back, it was probably a little harsh, but after today, I don't care. As the year went on, the bullshit continued, but I kept my mouth shut since I have to deal with these people everyday.

Shit finally hit the fan today. While explaining to a few people where IME was, one girl didn't understand where the stadium was located and went on to call our campus "a dump" and resented the fact she didn't get into "a real school" like UM. I told her I'd be more than happy to help pack her shit and drive her and her piss-poor attitude back in AA where it belonged, before another UM grad tried to clam me down by telling me she had her right to an opinion and that I wouldn't be here if I had been accepted to Michigan. I reminded them that I didn't even apply to Michigan because I had no interest in going there, not because I couldn't get in, but because I didn't want to deal with people like her all day. Unlike them, I tailored my application to MSU and couldn't be more proud to go here, so forgive me for being incredibly offended when she shit on my school. And for the record, most of the SCum have the same attitudes, so today wasn't anything new.

So here it goes...If you're that snub that you can't appreciate what MSU did for your career by accepting you, then seriously, get the fuck out. Go somewhere else. Your beloved alma mater didn't want you, but MSU did. For fucks sake, how stupid do you have to be to bash the name that's going to be printed on your diploma? There were thousands of people who applied to the program and only 200 were admitted, giving you zero reasons to be a whiny bitch and treat MSU like it's your second place trophy. You didn't choose MSU...MSU chose YOU.

In summary, if you came here and can't find it within you to show an ounce of pride or respect for your school, do everyone a favor and either shut up or leave. I don't care if you're a fan of another school, but don't shit on the one that did you a favor.
