An Open Letter To Penn State's Class Of 2021
Dayna Brewer

Dear Penn State's Class of 2021,

College as we all knew it, will never be the same for us. Going into our senior year we were looking forward to but also yet dreading all of our lasts that we are about to experience.

We were looking forward to buying our senior season of football tickets, waking up early that morning in June, and logging on to TicketMaster, anxiously waiting in the queue as we waited to secure our last season of tickets to the happiness we call Penn State Football.

We look forward to our last time moving into our school apartments with our college friends. A time where life as we know it, simple, easy, and fun is coming closer to an end.

We look forward to getting back on the CATA buses to go to and from and around campus. Even though they may cause us a LOT of frustration, Penn State wouldn't be the same without them.

We look forward to Penn State sports in general. Going to our last White Out, Homecoming, and Stripe Out. Buying hockey and basketball tickets as this is what drove many of us to Happy Valley in the first place.

We look forward to THON as we raise money all year For The Kids. We prepare for the amazing THON weekend as we dance for 46 hours for something more than ourselves.

We look forward to all the party celebrations we are finally old enough to go to the bars for like Halloween, State Patty's, Saint Patrick's Day, New Year's Eve, and the Super Bowl.

Overall, we were supposed to experience so many last already. But little did we know some of these we won't be able to experience at all. Others, we will just experience is different ways than we had originally planned.

But we can't let it stop us from having amazing senior year. We are the senior class of 2021, we will still manage to make the best of this uncertain time we are in.

We will cheer on our Nittany Lions from home and survive mostly online classes. The next year won't be easy, but we need to show Penn State that no matter what, WE ARE the making the best out of our senior year because WE ARE Penn State's Class of 2021. Our future is bright and we will stay positive through this time.

Sincerely,

A fellow senior

“I just want you to know that you’re very special… and the only reason I’m telling you is that I don’t know if anyone else ever has.”

As frustrating and annoying as it can be, being a girl is really awesome. We are beautiful inside and out. Not a lot of people may see that, but girls have a ton of amazing qualities.

We have unique flirting skills.

Us girls have a significant way to flirt with other people. Even when we say the most random or awkward things, we have a way of making everything sound cute and planned. It’s just a gift; we’re good like that.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
