There are, without a doubt, Leprechauns at Michigan State University.
What? Don’t you believe me? I can prove it, I swear.
Exhibit A: The Running of the Gingers.
Every year, a wild stampede of (majestically jogging) ginger-haired folk grace the streets of East Lansing. It is a tradition that has been honored for four years at the time of writing, but one question (or two) about the event remains: Who in the world started the tradition? (and where do all the gingers go for the rest of the year?) The answer(s) are obvious: leprechauns. The leprechauns must be using the mirage of redheads to blend in and sneak onto campus for their annual March migration.
Exhibit B: The School Colors.
As MSU decorates for Saint Patrick’s Day, you may have noticed that the colors on campus haven’t changed at all. Green and white are already all over the place. Which is really suspicious if you think about it. Unless, of course, it was always meant to be that way…
Think about it. If MSU really is harboring leprechauns on its grounds, then obviously using the leprechauns’ personal palette would be important. For comfort, and all that.
Exhibit C: It’s Literally in the Name
Michigan State University seems like a pretty random name for a college, don’t you think? Why not “The University of the State of Michigan” or “East Lansing University”? The intention behind MSU’s name is a mystery… until you realize it’s an anagram designed by leprechauns!!!
If you switch around the letters in “Michigan State University,” you get:“Irish McTainivy Test Guava”! And why might Irish McTanivy (the king of the leprechauns, duh) be testing guava? Well, look no further than the GUAVA juice boxes that they sell at Sparty’s for Ramadan. This year, Saint Patrick’s Day falls during one of the last days of Ramadan. Coincidence? Not one chance!
I know that the leprechauns are here. One-hundred percent. They have to be, otherwise my therapist is right, and I have some greater problems going on. I can only hope you see them, too.
