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?

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
