Another year, another round of compiling the best UPUA election write-ins. This year, just 3,307 students came out and voted for their next student government representatives while also spending quite some time selecting some very creative write-ins.

With so few students voting, this year’s list of write-ins is notably pretty short. But fear not — there was no shortage of mentions of other things full of that scream blue and white pride, including the famed Joe Paterno statue and the Phyrst.

Without further ado, let’s dive into this year’s UPUA write-ins.
