In only half a month of college I’m already loving the experience. I’ve made a ton of friends, my floor is out of control, and my classes aren’t too bad. I’m taking Advertising 205 so I get to whet my creative appetite a bit and I’m also taking a writing class which covers the evolution of American thought. There is one thing, however, which is starting to bother me over here at Michigan State University- the lack of color. While the older part of campus has some real character, I’m stuck in South Complex with buildings from the phenomenal architects of the 1960’s. The hallways are boring, the lobby is boring, the side walks are boring, everything around me is gray, bland, plain- uninspiring.

Yeah, I’m not attending an art school, what should I expect? I’ll tell you this, I sure as hell didn’t expect to go to a school where I’m gasping for creative stimulation. I’ve written to the chair of the art department begging for her to bring in artists and people to brighten the halls and sidewalks. She still hasn’t responded. Is it so much to ask for some color? I’m starting to go crazy up in here. I am stuck finding other means of stimulation. I’ve had to take a grocery cart from the local store called Goodrich’s. I’ve had to post up pictures of Joe Paterno for reasons I don’t even know. I’ve even stolen a autographed poster of the entire Michigan State Girls Field Hockey Team. I think I might uproot a tree or fill up condoms with water and throw them at people if things don’t start to change. Just look at these pictures, it looks I took screen shots of the halls from the movie One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest? I’m I so wrong?
