As Penn Staters, we all love football season. It’s hands down the best time of the year, especially when we have a season like this year.

Our beloved Nittany Lions have been killing the game and breaking records like no other. So far, we’ve beaten Pitt, won against the Hawkeyes in an extremely tough environment, and for the first time this century we climbed our way to a #2 ranking in the AP College Football Poll.

This week’s game will be against the school we all love to hate, Ohio State. We have finally reached that time of the year where you’ll hear students chant some rather vulgar chants to intimidate those dreadful buckeyes.

Let's be real, We are better than Ohio State and here are just a few of the many reasons why:

1. We have the best student section for football in the country.

If you don’t believe it’s true, Ohio State alum and ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit ranked Penn State as the #1 student section himself.

2. Our beloved Nittany Lion mascot outshines the rest, especially a mascot that’s a nut.

First of all, who came up with the great idea to create a mascot based off of a nut? Is that supposed to be incredibly intimidating or something? Also, Ohio State’s Buckeye can’t compete with our Nittany Lion’s great dance moves. Our Nittany Lion always knows how to entertain a crowd.

3. Penn State beat Ohio State last year 24-21!

Any Penn State fan will never be able to forget this iconic moment. Not to mention Penn State fans stormed the field.

4. Ohio State’s football coach Urban Meyer admitted that Penn State should have been in the playoffs.

After winning the B10 Championship, Penn State headed to the Rosebowl to play one of the best games in college football history. Ohio State, on the other hand, got completely shut out by Clemson in the Fiesta Bowl.

5. No football coach can claim as many victories as JoePa did during his time at Penn State.

Under his reign, Penn State football won a total of 409 games. There’s clearly no competition here.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
