10 Penn State Anthems That Totally Scream “College”

Penn Staters love a good jam… Or 10. Here are 10 ultimate college songs that Penn State has claimed as our unofficial anthems.

1. Livin’ On A Prayer – Bon Jovi. A classic Penn State football anthem, especially for when the score is close at a home game. The Penn State student section never loses hope, and this song is certainly guaranteed to pump everyone up and restore the roar throughout the stadium.

2. Sweet Caroline – Neil Diamond. “BA BA BUMMM!” After a brief hiatus for reasons that will not be mentioned, “Sweet Caroline” is BACK and better than ever. It’s played everywhere from football games to parties and bars, and gets the crowd going every time.

3. I’m Shipping Up To Boston – Dropkick Murphys. Plain and simple: it’s a Penn State drinking song, also commonly used to make any college environment hype. Bang on tables, do a little jig, and scream your heart out because this jam requires everyone’s participation.

4. Jordan Belfort – Wes Walker and Dyl. Commonly heard at / made popular by Penn State frat parties, this catchy song makes it easy for everyone to sing along. “Jordan… Bel... FORT!”

5. Kernkraft 400 (Woah Oh Oh) – Zombie Nation. Better known as just “Zombie Nation,” this song is THE unofficial Penn State anthem. You’ll hear it played just about everywhere Penn Staters can be found, and you better believe we’re all going to add our own words in: “WE! ARE! PENN! STATE!”

6. Build Me Up Buttercup – The Foundations. A great sing-along, this oldie is perfect for game days in Beaver Stadium. A hit among both students and alumni, “Build Me Up Buttercup” is always sure to please.

7. Shout – The Isley Brothers. After halftime, it’s safe to say the Penn State student section needs a pick-me-up: literally. “Shout” gets everyone on their feet in a matter of minutes, just in time to welcome the players back into Beaver Stadium.

8. We Dem Boyz – Wiz Khalifa.Penn State football, we dem boyz! For some reason this ever-so-popular song quickly became associated with Penn State last year after being played multiple times at each home game, but no one is complaining.

9. I Love College – Asher Roth. As college students, this song speaks to us on many levels. The lyrics, “I can get pizza a dollar a slice” especially holds true to Penn Staters when relating it to one of the most beloved drunk food spots downtown: Canyon Pizza.

10. Hey Baby – DJ Otzi. Also a student section favorite, “Hey Baby” always has everyone singing at the top of our lungs. The “Oooh! Ahh!” makes the song even more contagious as it radiates throughout the entire stadium on game days.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
