Penn State Pretty Much Has The Best of Everything

Penn State Pretty Much Has The Best of Everything

As an incredibly biased student, I can easily argue that Penn State is the greatest university in this country. My pride for my university is immeasurable, but there are some pretty impressive facts that help justify my opinion.

1. The greatest thing about Penn State is THON. The largest student-run philanthropy in the world raises millions each year to fund pediatric cancer research.

2. Beaver Stadium is the second largest football stadium in this country, holding 107,282 screaming fans.

3. On game days, State College becomes the third largest city in Pennsylvania due to the influx of fans coming to see their beloved team.

4. We have the largest dues-paying alumni association in the world.

5. Penn State ranks among top universities from which to recruit.

6. The geology school is ranked number one in the country. The meteorology school has also been said to be the best.

7. U.S. News & World Report recently ranked Penn State's World Campus in the top ten for best online bachelor's programs.

8. Penn State has one of the largest Greek communities in the country. There are around 89 different fraternities and sororities on campus.

9. University Primetime has ranked Penn State as the third most fun university to attend in the country.

10. Penn State has been called the number one party school in the nation.

11. We have also been ranked number one for biggest beer drinkers.

12. Penn State is the second most expensive public school in this country. This isn't exactly a plus, but it shows how much students are willing to give to attend Penn State.

13. The Penn State Lunar Lion Mission is the first university-led mission to the moon.

14. Joe Paterno has the most wins of any coach in college football history.

15. Penn State is the best university in the country. This ranking I made up myself, but as you can see above, it's a title that is well-deserved.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
