We’ve all heard college is the best time of our lives. What no one tells you is it’s also the most stressful. One of the perks of going to Michigan State is the great movies playing every weeke on campus, awesome concerts and a slew of other events to help keep the stress levels down. RHA organizes these great events, and this campus celeb helps make sure it’s all possible.
