If Your Favorite Children’s Books Were Penn State-Themed…

The spring semester is off to a smooth start thus far after Penn Staters took some time off at home to relax and unwind for the holidays. Most of us likely spent the break back in our childhood bedrooms, perhaps visited by the ghosts of elementary and preschool past.

Nostalgia can hit you like a ton of bricks in college. Four years fly by and before you know it, you’re on your own in the real world. With less than 100 days until graduation, why not get back in touch with our inner child and combine our childhood memories with Dear Old State?

If you give James Franklin a football, he’s going to want a top-tier class of recruits. If you give James Franklin crazy good players, he’s going to want to go to a bowl game. If you give James Franklin a bowl game, he’s going to give you a Rose Bowl win.

Rainbow Lion

Move over, “Rainbow Fish,” there’s an even prettier fish lion in the pond. The Symbol of Our Best really rocks that snorkel.
