The Stages Of A Penn State Football Game As Told By Jimmy Fallon

In just 12 short days, Penn State football will be taking over Happy Valley again, and 46,000 students prepare to welcome back our beloved game day traditions with open arms and full hearts. Whether you come for the student section or for the chicken baskets, every Penn Stater takes pride in being 107K strong. As we try to contain our excitement for this season, let us reminisce on our many sunny days spent in Beaver Stadium. And who better to tell the glorious story of a game day at Penn State than everyone's favorite human, Jimmy Fallon.

1. After many long months, game day has finally taken over Happy Valley.

2. You walk past a tailgate and find an adorable Penn State puppy.

3. You look at the screen of your phone beaming with pride after you and your friends take the perfect game day pic.

4. And you forget there's absolutely no service to even post anything. Maybe if you reach you can just get one bar...

5. They swipe your ID. You're in. This is finally happening.

6. S**t. And you've already lost your friends.

7. Reunited! Now we have chicken baskets and Fight On State is blasting through the stadium. All is right in the world.

8. The other team just scored. Are they even allowed to do that? Ref?

9. Alright so apparently the other teams can score??

10. And we scored. Suck on that. WE ARE PENN STATE, YOU ARE IRRELEVANT.

11. You lose your free pom pom and now you don't know what to do with your hands.

12. You hear the start of Sweet Caroline and you have already accepted the fact that you will not have a voice tomorrow.

13. Someone in front of you slips off of the bleachers and you feel like a horrible person for fighting back laughter.

14. When you think Saquon Barkley looks at you in the stands.

15. But then everyone starts singing the Alma Mater and you realize that the game is over.

16. Then you suddenly remember that you go to the greatest university in the world, and you'll be right back in Beaver Stadium next weekend.

17. And as you're leaving you find another puppy and you swear this time that you're never letting go.

18. All in a ~game~ day's work. Until next time, Penn State.

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.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

Kansas State University

"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.

College without friends is like peanut butter without jelly.

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.
