In just 12 short days, Penn State football will be taking over Happy Valley again, and 46,000 students prepare to welcome back our beloved game day traditions with open arms and full hearts. Whether you come for the student section or for the chicken baskets, every Penn Stater takes pride in being 107K strong. As we try to contain our excitement for this season, let us reminisce on our many sunny days spent in Beaver Stadium. And who better to tell the glorious story of a game day at Penn State than everyone's favorite human, Jimmy Fallon.

1. After many long months, game day has finally taken over Happy Valley.

2. You walk past a tailgate and find an adorable Penn State puppy.

3. You look at the screen of your phone beaming with pride after you and your friends take the perfect game day pic.

4. And you forget there's absolutely no service to even post anything. Maybe if you reach you can just get one bar...

5. They swipe your ID. You're in. This is finally happening.

6. S**t. And you've already lost your friends.

7. Reunited! Now we have chicken baskets and Fight On State is blasting through the stadium. All is right in the world.

8. The other team just scored. Are they even allowed to do that? Ref?

9. Alright so apparently the other teams can score??

10. And we scored. Suck on that. WE ARE PENN STATE, YOU ARE IRRELEVANT.

11. You lose your free pom pom and now you don't know what to do with your hands.

12. You hear the start of Sweet Caroline and you have already accepted the fact that you will not have a voice tomorrow.

13. Someone in front of you slips off of the bleachers and you feel like a horrible person for fighting back laughter.

14. When you think Saquon Barkley looks at you in the stands.

15. But then everyone starts singing the Alma Mater and you realize that the game is over.

16. Then you suddenly remember that you go to the greatest university in the world, and you'll be right back in Beaver Stadium next weekend.

17. And as you're leaving you find another puppy and you swear this time that you're never letting go.

18. All in a ~game~ day's work. Until next time, Penn State.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
