No one can deny how good we have it at Penn State, even with the recent installment of restrictions on Greek life. Since our pride is already a given and friends from home are tired of hearing about how much we bleed blue and white, it wouldn't hurt to acknowledge the little things that have proved troubling to us here on campus.
In no particular order, here are the pet peeves that Penn State students feel on the daily:
1. The bikers that are always just milliseconds away from running you down in the middle of Shortlidge
2. Having to take the stairwell in Bouke where it's at least 80 degrees and barely being able to catch your breath by the time you make it to Spanish
3. The construction that blocks the sidewalks near the White Building
4. When you're in a hurry and are caught behind slow walkers with no way of getting around them
5. Seeing a group of girls all in black striped Adidas shoes and reflective Ray-Bans
6. Getting to the Hub salad bar to find they have no mozzarella balls
7. Meeting friends at the Hub for lunch only to find zero seats available
8. Hub dining closing at 3 p.m.
9. Always being too late to get a bagel from Redi
10. Having cumulative finals in Gen Eds that you didn't want to take to begin with
11. There are clearly not enough treadmills in White and 1/3 of them are out of order every day
12. The obnoxious people in the library
13. The library cafe closes at 11 p.m., yet you'll be there for at least another two hours
14. Louie's isn't open 24/7 and sometimes you really need a late night cheese stick fix
15. When Louie's runs out of your go-to Ben & Jerry's flavor and all that's left are the ones with nuts in them
16. Sitting alone at a table in the lib when suddenly a squad surrounds you and takes over your table
17. Craving Chipotle but having to wait in the absurdly long line every time
18. Everything about LionPath (good thing it cost $66 million)
19. Clicking "checkout" on LionPath and only getting into a couple of classes, which automatically throws you into panic mode
20. PDA in class
21. Getting asked if you've voted yet on your way to class (say yes and walk faster)
22. Showering in spooky, ancient East Halls showers
23. Having no coins/LionCash left to do laundry
24. Getting clothes stolen from your laundry because you don't feel like waiting downstairs and keeping watch until it dries
25. The students speeding down College Ave. in Lamborghinis
26. Forgetting your swipe and having to use actual money instead of meal points
27. Bipolar State College weather that's impossible to adjust to
28. The amount of worms covering the sidewalk after it rains
29. Getting asked about the decline of Greek life at Penn State
30. When people who aren't in Greek life, aka GDIs, say you pay for your friends (they're not wrong)
