It has been a year to remember for Penn State football and one that has kept us all on the edge of our seats, cheering with every ounce of our beings. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly and through it all, we were proud to be Nittany Lions. While we won't put away our jerseys and shakers for good until January, the days of home games and chicken baskets have come to an end. Let's recap on this whirlwind of a season!

September 3rd vs Kent State

Summer seems to drag on and on after we've bought our students tickets so by the time game day rolled around, we were more than ready! And what better way to kick off the season than with a win?

September 10th at Pitt

After a rousing #PittHateWeek I think we all felt a little awkward after that loss.

September 24th at Michigan

With a win at home the week before we were back to our happy old selves... And then... yeah, I didn't enjoy watching this game.

October 1st, 8th vs Minnesota, Maryland

everybody hands go up

October 15th: Bye Week

October 22nd vs Ohio State

THIS. NO WORDS.

October 29th- November 12th

#PurdueBeat #IowaBeat #IndianaBeat

November 19th at Rutgers

Lol Rutgers

November 26th vs Michigan State

Despite the fact that we had to briefly cheer for Ohio State, this day was just one win after another for Penn Staters. B1G East Champions baby!

Weekend of December 3rd: En Route

Nothing beats hitting the road/ skies with thousands of other Penn State fans.

December 3rd vs Wisconsin (First Half)

We'll be okay. We'll pull through. We're a second half team. It'll all be okay. Aaaah.

December 3rd vs isconsin (Second Half)

Why yes, I did purposely not include the W in Wisconsin cause WEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

December 4th: Announcement of the Bowl Championship Series

While many believe we clearly deserve to be in the playoffs and are more than outraged...

Others are excited to be headed to Pasadena for only the fourth time in program history and are ready to take on the Rose Bowl.


All in all it has been a heart-pounding season of excitement and pride as we truly enter a new era of Penn State football. Let's give USC all we've got in January!

P.S. If we could just skip February- August and go right to next season, well that would be just fantastic.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
