Fall Without Football... A PSU Student's Tragedy

How does one spend their Saturdays if they're not at Beaver Stadium?

Fall Without Football... A PSU Student's Tragedy

Yesterday, August 11th, the Big 10 Conference announced that football will be postponed until spring... but will it actually happen in spring semester?

At Penn State, our spring semesters consist of freezing temperatures, snow, and a whole lot of ice. If we cannot walk to class because it is too dangerous, then how will these athletes be allowed to play football? I appreciate the officials trying to give the students some hope, but the reality of the situation is we will not be surprised if/when football does not happen at all throughout this academic year.

I have been lucky enough to have 2 football seasons as my time as a student, so here is my "See You Later" to Beaver Stadium this fall.

Saturdays this fall will not be the same as they used to be. I no longer will be woken up the music blaring throughout my apartment complex and hearing the "We Are" chant every 5 minutes. I will no longer pack onto the White Loop with all of my closest friends and head to the tailgating lots to unite with more people prepared for the game day. I will no longer get to be apart of the best student section in the country- there will be no Stripe Out, and more importantly no White Out this year, where I get chills every time I enter the stadium and see our school filled with pride. I will never be able to be a student and see Penn State play Ohio State at home. I will not be able to walk home from the game with my head held high with after a win, or a sad walk home if PSU lost.

PSU football is a part of the culture in Happy Valley, and without it, this semester will be very dull and boring. We miss you PSU football and Beaver Stadium.

I cannot wait until we get to meet again.

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.
