Not able to travel this Spring Break? Well don’t fret! There are plenty of things to in your MSU apartment. How about finally getting to some of those much needed apartment chores while your roommates are gone? Spring cleaning is exactly what I’m doing these days. Sitting in my apartment with no classes, no homework, thinking to myself, “This is the perfect time to clean”.
If you are not in the cleaning mood, how about taking a nice jog or working out. I LOVE the fitness center in my apartment complex at The Club at Chandler Crossings. I work out for about an hour, take a nice swim in the indoor pool, then relax in the hot tub. Not too bad for a Monday! (A lot better than getting up early and going to class!) Tuesday’s are the perfect movie day, here in East Lansing. They have $5.00 movies tickets all day at NCG Eastwood Cinemas. I’ll probably go see “Brooklyn’s Finest”. I heard that it was a good movie. It has Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes, and those are a few of my favorite actors.
If you are looking to do something on campus, you can visit the Abram’s Planetarium on Michigan State’s campus. Into arts? There is a good art gallery in Lansing’s Old Town District called the Absolute Gallery. So let’s say, you are not into the planetarium and visiting the arts gallery is not what you are interested in. No problem. How about some sports? Aim High Sports Facility is offering a ton of activities to keep you busy. They offer, soccer, hockey, learn-to-skate, flag football, figure skating, public skating among other sports. If you are into sports, then I’m sure you can stay busy there.
MSU students, just because you didn’t get the opportunity to go to some resort for Spring Break, doesn’t mean that you can’t have a good time. Don’t be a couch potato for a week, get up and enjoy life!

I recently went to spend some time with my best friend and her husband in Florida. On my last night there, Becca and I decided to make use of her wedding presents and try our hand at making some sushi. Above is a picture of the actual sushi we made! We were a little nervous as neither of us had made it before, but it was surprisingly easy and most of all fun!
Here are some tips for making sushi at your Chandler Crossings apartment:
- Make sure you have the right ingredients. It DOES matter what type of rice you have, so make sure you purchase the kind made especially for sushi rolls.
- Do all your prep first. Make sure all ingredients are cut and ready so that when you start they are right at your fingertips.
- Have a sense of humor. The first time you make it, it may not be perfect, but that is all part of the fun. (The first roll I made turned out as an oval).
Ingredients
- 1 cup prepared sushi rice
- ½ avocado
- 4 crab sticks (or real king crab or jumbo lump crab meat for a luxury California roll)
- ½ cucumber
- 1 sheet dried nori seaweed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- For a spicy California roll, add a few drops of hot pepper sauce to the mayonnaise
Preparation
- Cut the peeled and pitted avocado and the peeled cucumber in quarters lengthwise.
- Spread the sushi rice over the sheet of seaweed, and sprinkle the sesame seeds over the surface.
- If you don’t have a bamboo rolling mat, place a sheet of plastic wrap on the worktop, and turn the layer of seaweed and sushi rice upside down flat on the the plastic wrap so that the seaweed ends up on top.
- Place the avocado, cucumber and crab sticks evenly down the center, and coat the filling with mayonnaise. Roll the layer up from one edge, and slice the roll into 8 pieces.

Cool, decked out apartment-photo by Kay
Hey guys,
I’m back with some apartment tips that will help you fully experience an enjoyable, comfortable, inexpensive, yet lavish lifestyle in your Chandler Crossings apartment home.
First tip: Making your apartment the fliest pad in East Lansing.
FYI: Fellas, yes, you can dec out your digs also. The ladies actually dig cleanliness, go figure right?
1. Smell good. Would it hurt to put in a glade plug- in your common area? I think not. Smell is one of the strongest and most lasting impression a person can have. I mean come on, have you ever smelled someones breath and it nearly took you out. Yeah, same concept here. Whether good or bad, smell leaves a lasting impression.
2. Go ahead and live a little. You paint that wall burnt orange with a hint of magenta! Lol, maybe not that color scheme, but all of Chandler Crossings apartments, The Club, The Village, and The Landings allow you to paint your walls provided you paint them back the original color before your leave. So why not add a little something that will make the apartment your own. After all, outside of class, this is where you will be sleeping, eating, and studying. Have something to look at while doing it I say.
3. Now this may be hit or miss because many people don’t know the difference between patio furniture and living room furniture so hopefully this misconception is put to rest after this. All of Chandler Crossings apartments offer either patio’s or balconies; not every apartment in East Lansing or anywhere else for that matter can attest to that. Lets liven up our balconies by investing in a nice patio set. Many are really reasonably priced at nearby stores. To feel that cool summer breeze hitting your face just right as you study for your organic chemistry midterm, just might be the one thing you need from preventing you from casting yourself over the rail. Just Saying.
4. Lastly, it really goes without saying, because mom taught you better. Make your bed. You would be surprised how much cleaner your room looks with a made up bed. Right after you drag yourself from those warm sheets and blankets; take a minute to make it up. I am a witness to how much better you feel after a hard day of classes, work, and study sessions, to come home to a nice clean room some how puts a check next to “something actually completed” portion of your to do list for that day.
Well guys, go forth and conquer. Make that apartment something you take pride in. No, It is not just the four walls that I pay to lay my head at. No, it’s my home and if you ask me, it’s the best MSU apartment on the block.
-Jay
