5 Emojis Penn Staters Need Right Now
Onward State

Have you ever had trouble captioning a game day post, or have struggled to add some zest to a PSU tweet? All Penn Staters have been there, and with the largest alumni network in the world, we deserve some love from the emoji world. After all, there are 99,133 active students throughout the state.

Here are the five PSU emojis we need in our lives NOW. Just imagine your 'gram game...

1. The Nittany Lion

It goes without saying; the best mascot in the world deserves his own emoji. Recently, inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame, this guy encompasses all it means to have PSU spirit. Whether he is doing push-ups on the field during a game, having photo-ops with kids or hyping us up at pep rallies, you can't resist the lovable nature of our lion.

2. The Berkey Creamery

Did someone say Death by Chocolate? Everyone at Penn State knows that the creamery has the best ice cream in the world. Established in 1865, and located on campus, this staple has created over 100 flavors of ice cream and houses the Food Science department at Penn State. So fresh, it's just about 48 hours from cow to cone! A cute ice cream pic with this emoji popped in the caption? Perfection. FUN FACT: In 1978, Ben and Jerry attended a $5 course in ice cream making at Penn State.

3. Pokey Stix

Ah, truly a Penn State staple. Gumby's Pokey Stix have a special place in the heart of Penn Staters everywhere. After a football game, while you're studying, or when you come home from a night out, there is literally no bad time for the pizza-breadstick hybrid.

Pro Tip: Pokey Stix Tuesdays offer medium Pokies for just $7.

4. The HUB


The HUB, or the Hetzel Union Building, is at the heart of Penn State's campus. I, admittedly, spend most of my time there, whether it be grabbing something to eat, studying with friends, or just passing through. This massive - and architecturally impressive, may I add - building definitely has earned its right to be on our phones because of its huge popularity among students.

5. Four Diamonds hands

Last, but certainly not least, on the list of Penn State emojis we need are Four Diamonds hands. If there is anything that Penn Staters universally agree is awesome, it is THON. Our 46-hour Dance Marathon to combat Pediatric Cancer is the largest student-run philanthropy in the world, with about 16,500 student volunteers. It greatly unites us in pursuit of a noble cause and deserves ALL the emojis. Imagine the social media presence these would have! Let's make it happen.

Take notes Apple, here at Penn State, we have some ideas for your next update.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
