Why Noon Games Are The Best Games

When that rough 7:30 a.m. alarm goes off on a chilly Saturday morning, some may cringe at the thought of having to throw on game day attire and start ripping shots to get to the tailgate, but I marvel at that thought. Noon games certainly have a rough reputation for getting the best of all who attend, however, these games are by far my absolute favorite ones.

First of all, noon games allow for plenty of pre-and-post-game celebrations. Unlike those 3:30 p.m. games-- which some may say reign supreme-- which force you to choose to nap or to post-game tailgate, 12 p.m. games allow plenty of time for both.

Second, noon games also give you the ability to fit three days into one. The first day is the tailgate and the game. Day two is the post-game party/tailgate and a nap and the third day is anything you do at night. During a later scheduled game there is little time to prepare for the night at all, let alone be able to nap and get your favorite foods for dinner.

Third, they allow you to get that delicious chicken basket guilt-free. When you arrive at Beaver Stadium, you and you search for your seat amongst the thousands of people, you have no reason to fear if the first thought that pops into your mind is one consisting of chicken fingers, fries and honey mustard. With the game falling right at lunch time, you don't have to face the guilt of eating four meals (not including food after midnight). Those heavenly fried pieces of chicken are simply your lunch!

Finally, noon games truly take the cake when there is no longer any excuses for your friends not to rally at night. With a solid six hour gap between the end of the game and the start of your social, you and your friends will all have more than enough time to get in a solid nap, shower, eat and get ready all over again for another night out.

So, next time you awake to the sound of drunk girls screaming "we are" in the street at 7:30 a.m., fear not for you are in store for the best game time that exists here at 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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. 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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
