7 Things All Penn State Students Know Too Well After A Loss

And if you thought State College felt some type of way after a win, you should see it after a loss.

Penn State's second loss of the season against Michigan State really got the population of State College fired up...and if you're a student, these seven things are just the baggage:

1. Barstool blowing up.

Barstool inevitably blows Twitter and Instagram up with memes and funny videos about the loss. They're definitely amusing, but no one really hopes to see posts about a loss. It's morbid.

Still gonna laugh tho...

2. Everyone does dumb stuff afterwards.

And by this, I mean people drink it off...and get a little out of hand. Jumping off of things, breaking bones, getting drunkenly emotional, crying, dancing uncontrollably, you name it!!

This here is the behavior that ends up on Barstool in the first place...and we love to see it.

3. Instagram depression posts.

As Penn State students and football extraordinares...we MUST let everyone know on Instagram that we're sad about the loss and that "we'll never be the same." So dramatic, but SOOOO necessary. I guess a loss makes coming up with a caption a lot easier.

4. People being mad at James Franklin for like...a sec.

Franklin is to blame as soon as the loss strikes in the eyes of PSU fans. But soon after, fans are ready to support him and the team for the next game. Honestly, the anger doesn't last long, it just comes on strong and fast at first.

5. STRESS.

Everyone starts bugging about the rest of the season and complains that the team "has no hope" and "sucks," but you'll still catch people in their "Penn State Forever" shirts the following Saturday cheering in Beaver Stadium like nothing happened. It's just inevitable.

6. Getting a text from their Dad about it.

Nothing says a Penn State football loss more than every student's Dad texting them immediately about the game, going over the calls that should've been made...as if they're destined to be a college football coach and should take Coach Franklin's job. We obviously agree with them in the heat of the moment.

7. Mentally preparing yourself for the next game.

And as always, the season doesn't end there. There are more games and more opportunities for success or failure. The week following a loss is a week of mental (and sometimes physical) preparation to do it all over again next Saturday.

FIGHT ON, STATE!

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.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.
