It has been a year to remember for Penn State football and one that has kept us all on the edge of our seats, cheering with every ounce of our beings. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly and through it all, we were proud to be Nittany Lions. While we won't put away our jerseys and shakers for good until January, the days of home games and chicken baskets have come to an end. Let's recap on this whirlwind of a season!

September 3rd vs Kent State

Summer seems to drag on and on after we've bought our students tickets so by the time game day rolled around, we were more than ready! And what better way to kick off the season than with a win?

September 10th at Pitt

After a rousing #PittHateWeek I think we all felt a little awkward after that loss.

September 24th at Michigan

With a win at home the week before we were back to our happy old selves... And then... yeah, I didn't enjoy watching this game.

October 1st, 8th vs Minnesota, Maryland

everybody hands go up

October 15th: Bye Week

October 22nd vs Ohio State

THIS. NO WORDS.

October 29th- November 12th

November 19th at Rutgers

Lol Rutgers

November 26th vs Michigan State

Despite the fact that we had to briefly cheer for Ohio State, this day was just one win after another for Penn Staters. B1G East Champions baby!

Weekend of December 3rd: En Route

Nothing beats hitting the road/ skies with thousands of other Penn State fans.

December 3rd vs Wisconsin (First Half)

We'll be okay. We'll pull through. We're a second half team. It'll all be okay. Aaaah.

December 3rd vs isconsin (Second Half)

Why yes, I did purposely not include the W in Wisconsin cause WEEEE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

December 4th: Announcement of the Bowl Championship Series

While many believe we clearly deserve to be in the playoffs and are more than outraged...

Others are excited to be headed to Pasadena for only the fourth time in program history and are ready to take on the Rose Bowl.


All in all it has been a heart-pounding season of excitement and pride as we truly enter a new era of Penn State football. Let's give USC all we've got in January!

P.S. If we could just skip February- August and go right to next season, well that would be just fantastic.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
