So, How Was Your First PSU Football Game?
Devyn Sax

Your first Penn State football game! Was it all you wanted and more? I remember my first Penn State football game as a student; it was one experience I will never forget, from waking up early to get the tailgates, from awaiting the delicious chicken basket you will purchase upon arrival at Beaver Stadium.

The one thing that I find so special about Penn State football games and any other Penn State sporting event is that everyone in the stands shares something in common. Each person there has an immense love and passion for Penn State. Whether it is because of family members who have attended, or maybe even because they are the first generation to attend. There is really nothing like it. It is indescribable to people who have not had the chance to experience something like this.

We are so lucky that we get to experience these games each and every year. They bring the PSU community together and make being a Penn Stater so special.

I grew up in a house where my mom raved about the university. She herself attended this amazing school. I grew up knowing the ins and outs of Penn State and Penn State Football. When I attended my first game ever, I was very young. At that point in my life, it was just another sporting event. It had no meaning other than, "My Mommy went here, she loves Penn State." As I grew older and older, I realized that I wanted to become a part of this place.

What do you know... years later, I finally got the chance to make it a part of myself. There is nothing like Penn State Football. No matter what anyone tells you. The energy in the stands and throughout the town of State College... There is absolutely nothing you could compare it to. 107,000 strong take the stands of Beaver stadium each and every game. We are here to support our school, we are here to make memories and lasting friendships, We Are PENN STATE!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
