15 Ways To Survive Saturdays Without Penn State Football
Briana Zuccarelli

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
