10 Must-Dos For Penn Staters In Preparation For Michigan Hate Week

Lauren Schugg

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!

I thought senioritis in high school was rough until I became a college senior about to go into the real world. I'm supposed to have everything figured out, right? I mean I went through four years of tough classes and serious self-searching (and crying). What I found overall was Senioritis sneaking up on me.

13 Things College Kids Do That They Know They Shouldn't

Sometimes these things are both necessary and inevitable.

Christopher Newport University

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.
