15 Ways To Survive Saturdays Without Penn State Football

How many Saturdays until game day? This is a question that every Penn State student has asked at one time or another. Don't worry, every Saturday is one Saturday closer to the best time of the year, football season! Until then, we will find ways to survive and distract ourselves.

Here are 15 things that will help you get through the game-less Saturdays:

1. Daylong. Daylong. Daylong.

We all know that when there are no football games to attend it's daylong season. No matter where you end up going, it's going to be one hell of a time. Just be sure you can still rally for the night to come.

2. Did you say mimosas?

Hold the OJ.


3. Endless amounts of Crown Russe and Natty.

Can't decide which one you want to force down your throat that day? You know what they say, go hard or go home.

4. The football players' return to fratland.



"Oh my god, did you hear that Saquon is here?"

5. Post-daylong Chipotle or Baby's.

Which one do you choose? This question can be hard, especially when both lines are out the door and all you want is your grease-filled food.


6. PMan.

"I want the nachos."

7. (Empty) promises to study and work out.

"I'll just do it tomorrow."

8. Binge-watching Netflix.

There's no better way to distract yourself than to watch hours and hours of your favorite Netflix show. You may tell yourself that you'll be productive after the next episode, but we all know that won't happen.


9. Sleeping the day away.

"I'll get up in an hour... or two... or three... maybe never."


10. Watching the blocked OSU kick...on repeat.

If you go to Penn State and haven't watched the video of us beating Ohio State, I have one question, "Do you even go here?" If you have watched it, you've probably watched every possible edit of it. Nothing will ever beat the feeling of that win.


11. Continuing to watch endless Penn State Football videos.

We love it... and we're not sorry.


12. Remembering that Blue and White Weekend is just around the corner.

Blue and White Weekend reminds us why we love filling Beaver Stadium every football Saturday. It gives us a sneak peek at the season to come and allows us to be crazy fans once again (I'll see you all April 22, 2017).


13. Throwback pictures of game days past.



You can never post too many game day photos.

14. Freezing outside to numb the off-season pain.

If this doesn't explain our time without football, I don't know what does.


15. Counting down the days until you see your favorite boys back on the field.

In seven months we will be throwing people in the air, losing our voices and celebrating our boys' return.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
