Registrar Realizes It’s the 21st Century

In an effort to modernize Penn State’s archaic course registration system, the Office of the University Registrar will be releasing a new and improved Schedule of Courses site on January 25. This change is long overdue, and there are some pretty cool features in the upcoming release.

Since reading paragraphs is hard, I’ve made a handy list of the changes for you:

  • Easier to use time and date selection criteria – do Thursday classes cut into your drinking time? Don’t fear, now it will be easier than ever to schedule all your classes on the same day (and still not go to them).

  • Search by multiple general education requirements – trying to lower the number of classes you have to take in a semester? Now you can actually find those elusive triple-counting courses.
  • Ability to jump to a particular course when multiple courses appear in results – hitting Ctrl-F can be too much work for some people, so now you don’t have to to find the class you’re looking for. Be warned, you may still have to use your mouse at times.
  • Reorganized section specific information includes links to Google Maps for University Park buildings – I always find the walk between Hammond and Sackett a little daunting.

Southern Kitsch and Sweet Tea at Cracker Barrel

After several months of anticipation, I was finally able to check out State College’s new Cracker Barrel on its opening day. Located at 215 Colonnade Blvd., there are few surprises at the chain’s new location. With rows of rocking chairs out front, checker boards and a game of peg solitaire at every table, I could have been at any franchise location in the country — not that that’s a bad thing.
