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.

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.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
