So there's approximately one month (4 weeks, 28 days, 672 hours, or 40, 320 minutes) left in second semester / this entire school year — but who's counting? Asking where the time has gone? Trust me, I am too.
It seems like six weeks ago we were watching the Penn State/Ohio State game, all decked out in white, banking on the overtime to bring us back into the game. It seems like last month we were watching Fratland transform into a winter wonderland — each house a blown-up fairy tale castle, glowing as we froze and walked from house to house with our trendy frackets. It seems like two weeks ago we WON THE BOWL GAME in NYC. It seems like last week we had our first snow day in eight years. It seems like just yesterday we began daylong season — the fifth and greatest season Penn State celebrates.
As we head into the last and final four weeks of the semester and school year, here's your bucket list to help you have a killer last 40,320 minuets in Happy Valley.
1. Daylong.
Penn State is constantly ranked (10Worthy, BroBible, Newsweek, etc.) for having one of the greatest party atmospheres in the country. Well, we can thank daylong season for this one. Nothing is better than Saturdays being 65 degrees and sunny, watching frat boys decked out in throwback basketball jerseys and thrift store finds, and dancing the day away at some of the biggest celebrations that Penn State students put on. It may seem like the longest day of your spring semester, but daylongs are what make up “the 5th season of the year" here in Happy Valley. Definitely do it.

2. Hike Mt. Nittany
Hiking Mt. Nittany is not only a great workout for you to do with some friends, but it's beautiful, fun, relaxing and something unique to Happy Valley. How many other schools do you know of that have a gorgeous hiking mountain less than 10 minutes away by car? Take advantage of being in central Pennsylvania and the gorgeous weather (no more snow, and pure sunshine) and go hike our own Mt. Everest – Mt. Nittany.

4. ENJOY STATE!
Take this however you want it to — whatever you enjoy doing here at State, GO DO IT. With only one month left in the semester, do everything and anything that you enjoy most at state. Playing basketball in Pollock? Go play ball. Watching boys play basketball in Pollock? Go watch. Run through the Arboretum and through our gorgeous campus. Pose on the Lion Shrine. Go tanning on Old Main Lawn. Spend an extra night out per week in Fratland. Take advantage of our bubble here in central PA – c'est la vie.
