10 Penn State Anthems That Totally Scream “College”

Penn Staters love a good jam… Or 10. Here are 10 ultimate college songs that Penn State has claimed as our unofficial anthems.

1. Livin’ On A Prayer – Bon Jovi. A classic Penn State football anthem, especially for when the score is close at a home game. The Penn State student section never loses hope, and this song is certainly guaranteed to pump everyone up and restore the roar throughout the stadium.

2. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond. “BA BA BUMMM!” After a brief hiatus for reasons that will not be mentioned, “Sweet Caroline” is BACK and better than ever. It’s played everywhere from football games to parties and bars, and gets the crowd going every time.

3. I’m Shipping Up To Boston – Dropkick Murphys. Plain and simple: it’s a Penn State drinking song, also commonly used to make any college environment hype. Bang on tables, do a little jig, and scream your heart out because this jam requires everyone’s participation.

4. Jordan Belfort – Wes Walker and Dyl. Commonly heard at / made popular by Penn State frat parties, this catchy song makes it easy for everyone to sing along. “Jordan… Bel... FORT!”

5. Kernkraft 400 (Woah Oh Oh) – Zombie Nation. Better known as just “Zombie Nation,” this song is THE unofficial Penn State anthem. You’ll hear it played just about everywhere Penn Staters can be found, and you better believe we’re all going to add our own words in: “WE! ARE! PENN! STATE!”

6. Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations. A great sing-along, this oldie is perfect for game days in Beaver Stadium. A hit among both students and alumni, “Build Me Up Buttercup” is always sure to please.

7. Shout – The Isley Brothers. After halftime, it’s safe to say the Penn State student section needs a pick-me-up: literally. “Shout” gets everyone on their feet in a matter of minutes, just in time to welcome the players back into Beaver Stadium.

8. We Dem Boyz – Wiz Khalifa.Penn State football, we dem boyz! For some reason this ever-so-popular song quickly became associated with Penn State last year after being played multiple times at each home game, but no one is complaining.

9. I Love College – Asher Roth. As college students, this song speaks to us on many levels. The lyrics, “I can get pizza a dollar a slice” especially holds true to Penn Staters when relating it to one of the most beloved drunk food spots downtown: Canyon Pizza.

10. Hey Baby – DJ Otzi. Also a student section favorite, “Hey Baby” always has everyone singing at the top of our lungs. The “Oooh! Ahh!” makes the song even more contagious as it radiates throughout the entire stadium on game days.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
