With fall semester right around the corner, we're all preparing ourselves for another great year at Penn State. This means new classes, moving into apartments, buying books, packing, and plenty more.

However, PSU students are worried about something much more important than any of that. We're all super excited because fall semester means FOOTBALL, and who isn't ready to cheer our Nittany Lions on for another killer season? Let's not forget the best part about football season—

the tailgates. To get ready to join nearly 100,000 other fans swarming the Lions Stadium, here are a few essentials you'll need for this tailgating season:

1. Cheap alcohol

As much as we all hate it, we still love it deep down. No reason to buy expensive fancy alcohol that will get spilled, skunked, or thrown back up in a few hours. Stick to the cheap vodka and Natty Light.

2. Spirit accessories

Are you really a Penn State fan if you aren't decked out in Penn State accessories? Make sure you have your bows, beads, and lion ears ready for the games this season!

3. Perfect game day outfit

This is literally the most exciting part of game days—

making the perfect game day outfit. Whether it's a T-shirt dress or the DIY top you made, you take so much pride in the perfect PSU football game day gear.

4. A big appetite

If you're an avid tailgater, you know just how much amazing food is being grilled around the tailgate fields. So make sure you come hungry!

5. Your dirtiest Chucks

Not exactly sure why white shoes are the go-to shoes for tailgates,daylongs, or even parties in general...but rain or shine, we tailgate, and things DO get messy. So break out your favorite party Chucks!

6. Good Music

Why wait until you get into the stadium to jam out to PSU's favorite hype songs? Get the party started outside!

7. Your whole crew

A tailgate isn't a tailgate if you aren't raging with your best buds. These memories will last a lifetime so share them with the people who mean the most.

8. Tailgate games

Beer pong, corn hole, flip cup...

There are so many games to play at a tailgate, making it even more fun.

9. Hype for the game

IF you are physically capable of actually making it into the game after the pre-game festivities, make sure you have your game face on and your poms ready. If time runs out on the clock and you still have a perfectly intact voice, you did it wrong.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
