You've had Canyon Pizza at 2AM

Picture this: You and your friends have had a long night out and you're dying to eat the best pizza in State College, and probably the world. You wait on a horrendously long line for your pizza, and it absolutely slaps. You regret nothing the next morning and wake up feeling great.

You have encountered the Willard Preacher

He never fails to share his strong opinions while wearing that red hoodie.

If you live on campus, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

You feel personally victimized when someone calls it "Penn"

"Penn" is the nickname for the University of Pennsylvania. I'm flattered that you think I'm smart enough to get into an Ivy League, but get it straight.

You dream about game day chicken baskets

Is it really game day without a chicken basket?

I don't know how else to explain this. If you know, you know.

You've taken BiSci3 or Anth140

Booze and Culture

These are probably the most classic gen-eds at Penn State. You're either writing about your feelings in BiSci, or learning about Booze and Culture in Anth140.

You've gotten involved with THON

There are so many ways to get involved with THON. If you go to Penn State, chances are you're #FTK.

You've been to Mount Nittany

The most classic hiking spot.

You've chanted We Are!

Penn State News

I had to end off with this one. Bonus points if you've chanted We Are when you were nowhere near Penn State.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
