Overheard On Penn State GroupMe

Ever since the pandemic hit, every class, apartment building, and organization has created a massive GroupMe. Given that these group chats are completely unregulated, Penn State students gladly speak their minds about anything and everything.

Students have no problem using GroupMes to beg the smart kids to send them homework answers, talk shit on even the most wholesome professors, or overshare about their relationship issues.

Our staffers compiled a few of their favorite out-of-context statements overheard in various Penn State GroupMe chats. Keep on reading to learn about the messages that aren’t quite PG enough for the everyday Zoom chat.

No context student, but with Kasey Musgraves vibes: “A lot of people will die ?.”

Student just going through the motions: “Every day, I wake up and write my silly notes on my silly spiral notebook and pretend I know what it says.”

Communications major fulfilling their singular math credit: “I’m just mindlessly watching this man write numbers and letters with pluses and minuses.”

Responsible-yet-addicted student who may or may not have COVID-19: “Would anyone be able to get me pods and leave it outside my door :) I’m in quarantine rn and can’t go to get them and I’m willing to pay extra!”

No context student who is tired of getting played: “I’m canceling my subscription to men. Thank you, Laura.”
