It's that time of year again. We're trading #BeachDays for #Books4Days on Insta and buckling down for another semester at Dear Old State. From LionPath to LionCash and everything in between, there are a few struggles in life that only true Penn Staters truly understand.
1. When you need to check Webmail/LionPath/Angel but don't have your cell phone.
Recommended for you
So, I'm thankful that you're trying to protect my privacy, Penn State, but if someone wants access to the emails from my English professor and club officers that badly...give it to 'em.
2. That one time you wanted to drop or add a class during the designated drop/add period but Penn State shut down LionPath.
Or that other time you were forced to transition from the beautiful, underappreciated eLion to the shittiest, most '90's-esque site to ever be puked onto the Internet. No, I'm #NotBitter.
4. When you really, really want to exist on only Peachy Paterno and Irving's sandwiches, but your wallet says no.
But like...please?
5. Walking for 20 minutes only to realize you have no idea where on campus you are.
This is usually caused by breaking your routine and exiting a building from a different door without thinking about it. On the plus side, this also means you're consistently hitting that FitBit step goal by 10 AM. Three cheers for fitness.
6. Trying to eat/sit/walk/exist in the HUB during the lunch rush.
Or, doing any of these things + breathing at any time during the first week of classes.
7. Making yourself stay away from the Student Book Store, Family Clothesline, and other places that sell the PSU clothing you desire.
In these situations, it's best to avoid downtown altogether or give your wallet (including that all-powerful LionCash) to a friend.
8. Convincing yourself that you don't love it here, in spite of your many struggles. Hint:
Welcome back, Penn State. Now...all aboard the struggle bus. It's gonna be a long, wonderful, pain-in-the-neck year that you won't want to trade for the world.
