With Michigan hate week in full swing here at Penn State, there's a lot you need to do as a student to prepare for the big weekend. Here's a list of the top 10 things to check off before Friday night comes around:

1. Get your white out gear. 

This is your #1 priority. Join the best atmosphere in college football by sporting your best whites!

2. Make your tailgate plans. 

Figure out where you want to be and when this weekend. It's always safer to plan everything out early so you don't skip a beat!

3. Buy your booze. 

Get it early—it'll gone before you know it.

4. Make sure your student section ticket is downloaded and ready.

Service is pretty much nonexistent around Beaver Stadium on football weekends...especially Michigan weekend when literally everyone and their mother is in State College. Make sure your ticket is in your Apple Wallet for the fastest entry (which also makes it easier to dash to the chicken basket line).

5. Get your homework done.

If there's one thing you don't want to have on your mind this weekend, it's schoolwork. Work hard this week and get done some things that are stressing you out! You'll enjoy your weekend so much more if it's a stress-free one.

(You're only allowed to stress about the football game).

6. Take care of your body all week! 

Get good sleep, hydrate, and eat well...because this weekend will not make your body too happy... if ya know what I mean ;-)

7. Make a bomb ass playlist.

Play it at the family tailgate or in your apartment (or dorm...) when you're getting ready! You're gonna need something to keep up the hype this weekend.

8. Definitely get a pin.

The BEAT MICHIGAN pins are more than necessary this week. Heck, buy it early and put it on your backpack...

9. Have friends staying for the weekend? Communicate with them early.

For visitors, a Penn State football weekend can be extremely overwhelming...some would even say scary.

Make sure you let your visiting friends know what to expect before they arrive and the best way to get to your place because the traffic will be ~next level~

10. Last but not least...PREPARE YOUR NITTANY LION ROAR.

Whose got the best Nittany Lion roar!?!?!

Get ready to shout it out Saturday night under the lights like a true Penn Stater.

LET'S! GO! P! S! U!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
