7 Things For Penn State Students To Do Now That Game Days Are Over

The second semester has started, and sadly, the weekends are empty! No more screams echoing from Beaver Stadium, no more "Sweet Caroline" or pizza cones until next semester. What will students do now that we have Saturdays free?

Here are some ideas to fulfill the game day blues:

1. Go to a hockey game.

It may not be the same as standing in the freezing cold at Beaver Stadium, but the hockey team is pretty good! They'll put on a good show for Penn State's sports fans. Here is their schedule.

2. Go to a basketball game.

Although their record is 7-8, going to the BJC and cheering for our Nittany Lions can surpass the time! Check out one of their upcoming games!

3. Go to the movies.

Every Tuesday, College 9 State College has $5 tickets, so go see that "Aquaman" movie we all know you're secretly dying to see! It may not be a Saturday, but nothing can beat $5 tickets!

4. Go to Get Air State College.

If you like jumping and trampolines, then this place is for you! Soar with your friends and spend your Saturdays exercising and jumping around!

5. Go to the gym. 

During game days, the IM building is closed, but now that we have Saturdays free, you can hit the weights and work on that New Year's resolution!

6. Hike Mount Nittany.

It may be winter and State College is always freezing, but get your friends together and go to Mount Nittany. The view is spectacular and worth the hike! Who knows, maybe you can even go skiing!

7. Find a new place to eat.

State College has a plethora of restaurants and small food stores! Go and explore downtown with your friends and find your new hangout spot! They are constantly adding new places like Snap Pizza!

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
