29 Questions I Have for Penn State
Penn State World Campus

After spending my childhood visiting my grandmother and exploring Penn State's campus, I thought I knew all that there is to know about Penn State before I attended here. Even now as I'm graduating, there are some things about this university that leaves me perplexed. These are just a few of the questions I wish I could ask Penn State University.

1.Why does it always rain on game day?

2. Why does only the Creamery have the fancy coffee dispensers with the different flavors? I want them in every dining hall.

3. Why does Delta Chi always hang out in Redifer?

4. What makes the chicken baskets at Beaver Stadium so much better than the ones you can get from the Mix?

5. Speaking of the Mix, WHY CAN’T YOU GET CHIPOTLE MAYO FOR YOUR FRIES ANYMORE?

6. Why is walking to the third floor of Willard so much worse than walking to the third floor of any other building?

7. Why do you insist on putting so many of my classes in computer labs? I have my own laptop, that Dell is just taking up space.

8. Why is it easier to get through airport security than it is to take a test at Pollock Testing Center?

9. Have you ever considered having shuttles to bring people tailgating at the fields to the stadium? If not, I want a cut of how much you guys make when you implement this lucrative idea.

10. Who is Vamos? How did he get here? What made him think State College was the ideal market for a rickshaw?

11. How did LionPath cost more than the IST building?

12. At what point will you begin barricading Beaver Avenue in anticipation of a large gathering?

13. Why did you admit so many freshmen this year? It makes walking hard.

14. Why does TDX rule?

15. Who thought that “Penn State Lives Here” would be a successful PR campaign? Do they still work here?

16. Why do you never have any salad places open on Sundays? Sundays are when I want to eat salads to make up for the rest of the weekend and you’re making that hard.

17. Why hasn’t it snowed yet?

18. Speaking of snow, why do you never cancel school for snow when we get so much of it?

19. When will there be a Flyers/Penguins Winter Classic for Beaver Stadium?

20. Why is all of East connected via underground tunnel? Why didn’t you do that to the rest of the buildings and allow us to use those tunnels to get to class when it rains/snows/hails/whatever state college weather feels like doing that day?

21. Do you receive a complementary pair of Ray-Ban Flash Lenses upon accepting your bid to a sorority?

22. Has anyone ever been to Chrome?

23. Why is my ID so faded?

24. Did George Atherton choose to be buried on the corner of Pollock Road outside of Schwab? Like, how did that happen?

25. Is there actually a difference between a Drunk Duck, a Cafe Tea, a Monkey Boy and an Adios? When it comes down to it they're all pitchers of alcohol and sugary water...

26. What will replace old Canyon Pizza?

27. Are you ready for Penn State football?

28. Why are you making me leave?

29. Can I stay?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
