Penn State is and will always be my home away from home. Anyone who goes to school here understands the pride and love we all share for our school. Our football seasons are amazing and we pre-game like no other. We bleed blue and white and THON For The Kids! Here are the 18 things anyone who goes to Penn State can identify with:

1. You live and breathe football season.

Penn State takes pre-gaming to a whole new level. We support our team no matter what!

2. You have taken a trip (or two or three) to Canyon Pizza.

3. You have so much PSU gear that you could probably raise a small army.

4. You have spent your days and nights in the library studying during finals week.

Spending long days and nights in the library studying for finals is something everyone has done.

5. You are irritated by Rutgers, Michigan State and Ohio State.

What can we say, we bleed blue and white.

6. You have been a part of THON in one way or another.

Whether you are a committee member, captain, exec member, or in an organization, THON has become a love of yours. Even if you aren't involved in THON you still understand how important THON's cause is.

7. FTK means everything to you.

THON is and will always be For The Kids.

8. You have told someone directions using the Dorito Church as a landmark.

9. Lionpath makes you miss elion.

They thought the switch was a good idea but no one even knows how to use it.

10. Your student ID has cracked in a lot of places, but as long as it can still be swiped you won’t replace it.

It costs 15 dollars to replace your ID and as long as it still works and you haven't lost it, you refuse to replace it. Your ID might be cracked and look a bit like Swiss cheese, but it still swipes.

11. No matter where you go on campus you still manage to see someone you know.

I still don't understand how this is possible but it always happens. Amongst 40,000 students you can still manage to run into a friend around campus.

12. Sandusky jokes aren't funny.

They aren't funny so please don't make the jokes!

13. Creamery ice cream will always cure a bad day

How could anyone resist such a delicious treat?!

14. You avoid having classes in Wagner Building and the IST Building at all cost.

Having a class in Wagner is the worst! It is so far away from all of your other classes that it is a miracle if you make it to class on time.

15. Classes in Forum remind you of the movie Inception: you never know which direction you are facing or which exit to take.

16. The Willard Preacher is always around to tell you that you are going to hell.

Rain or shine, he is always there.

17. Walking around campus in the snow can be hazardous.

18. Penn State is home.

No matter what I am proud to call Penn State my home.
