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.
