There are few classes on campus that are as well known as Soc 119. The class, which focuses on race relations, has no problem filling up 100 Thomas semester after semester. Students regularly rave about it, only perpetuating its popularity. The class is taught by Dr. Sam Richards who doesn’t shy away from some hard-to-talk-about topics.

The class is widely encouraged to use Twitter to interact throughout the semester using the #Soc119 to mark all their tweets. We searched through for the best, funniest, or strangest tweets without context.

Apparently, when Sam Richards gets students involved, not everyone is so excited.

Suffer along, folks. It’s all about the grade.

Cute guys doing cool flip things? And I get credit for this? Sign me up. No wonder that room is packed to the top.

My girlfriend is eating my food and then complains that she is hungry. She is now threatening me, please send help. #soc119

Is this even Soc 119 related or just a general cry for help? We’re not sure how Sam Richards is going to help you here, although I guess it wouldn’t be surprising if this were somehow discussed in class.

I never realized how much I see cleavage everyday… why not men in speedos? #SOC119 https://t.co/bV0Q0mveQU

Let’s start a new hashtag: #MoreMenInSpeedos.

There’s a stream?! Man, Penn State is so much cooler than when I went there.

Penn State is quite cool — just ask any Penn Stater.

Weirdest answers from parents when they were asked about a needy penis.

— Yuli Prieto (@hormigarango) March 1, 2018

Were students really tasked with asking their parents, “Is the penis needy?” I need to hear some of these answers.

Huh. Apparently the penis is needy.

How many Indinians are there today ?#soc119

Like, in general? In the room? In the world?

So these tweets seem to raise more questions then the answer. If these questions are intriguing, class scheduling season is upon us once again and you can register for the class for the fall.

And if you can’t quite get a seat in the class, don’t worry. Lectures are recorded and posted online and are also regularly live streamed, which can be found here.
