9 Essentials You Need For Penn State Tailgates This Season

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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
