Anyone who goes to Penn State and doesn't live under a rock is well aware that on November 21, 2015 Penn State lost both their white out and senior game to Michigan, 28-16. Here are 16 reasons to remember that we still go to the best school ever:

  1. We still have the largest alumni association in the world, with over half a million graduates.
  2. We have the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, THON.
  3. We have the largest Greek community in the country.
  4. State College was ranked the third best college town in the U.S.
  5. We were ranked the number one student section by the NCAA.
  6. We still have the S-Zone.
  7. We also have the second-largest football stadium in the country, holding 108,782 people.
  8. It’s also the fourth-largest stadium in the world.
  9. Ben and Jerry took a $5 correspondence course on ice cream making at Penn State and with a little investing they opened their first ice cream shop in a renovated gas station.
  10. The Berkey Creamery is the largest university creamery in the world.
  11. One out of every nine Pennsylvanians with a bachelor's degree graduated from Penn State.
  12. One out of every 117 people in the United States with a bachelor's degree graduated from Penn State.
  13. We have the largest career fair east of the Mississippi.
  14. Penn State is believed to be the first school to adopt the lion as its mascot.
  15. Keegan-Michael Key graduated from Penn State.
  16. We know that next year’s white out game will be just as crowded and just as fun.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
