Penn State Things That Feel Illegal But Aren’t
Some things just feel wrong, even if you aren’t breaking any rules.
Whether it’s standing in an elevator facing away from the door or wearing jeans to the gym, there are certain things that society has deemed socially “illegal,” even if you’re not breaking the law. This is also true here at Penn State.
We’ve compiled a list of Penn State things that feel like they’re illegal, but as far as we know, aren’t. To be clear, Onward State does not condone breaking any laws, so don’t do anything stupid that you think might actually be illegal.
Walking Around Campus In Only A Bathing Suit
As far as I know, this isn’t against any particular rules as long as you don’t go into any buildings. I don’t know why you would do this, but if you want to flex your free will, this is all yours.
Doing A Blowjob Shot At The Phyrst On A Monday Afternoon
I have personally never seen someone do a blowjob shot at the Phyrst at any time other than at midnight on their 21st birthday, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do it on a Monday afternoon after a tough exam. Again, I’m not sure why you would do this, but you can.
Going Into Old Main
Even though it’s one of the most iconic buildings on campus, most Penn State students have never been inside Old Main. You’re 100% allowed to go inside, but for whatever reason, it feels like you’re not supposed to.
Carrying A Glass Of Milk Around Campus
The milk drinkers of our society get judged enough, but they would definitely get judged even more if they carried around a literal glass of milk to each of their classes. Carrying a glass would be weird enough, but if it has milk in it, you’d definitely get some looks.
Using Another College’s Bathroom To Go No. 2
Let’s say you’re a communications major. Nothing is stopping you from waltzing right into one of the super nice laboratory buildings and doing your business in their bathroom. They probably wouldn’t appreciate it, but it’s not against the rules.
Shotgunning A Non-Alcoholic Beer On Old Main Lawn
This one actually might be illegal due to some sort of bylaw I’m not familiar with, but as far as I know, this shouldn’t be breaking any rules. If there’s no alcohol in the drink, it’s the same as drinking a soda, and who cares how you decide to consume that beverage?
Riding The Bloop For Fun
There’s nothing stopping you from just riding the Blue Loop over and over again until the driver finally goes on break or ends their shift for the day. Maybe you just find the movement and traffic soothing and use a couple of laps around campus as a way to relax.
Sitting In The Student Section As An Adult
This obviously wouldn’t work for certain sports like football where they check tickets, but there’s nothing stopping a middle-aged person from walking into the middle of the student section at most Penn State sporting events. This isn’t officially illegal, but it definitely feels wrong.
Standing & Watching Construction Workers
I am not a lawyer and do not know the official definition of loitering, so this may actually be illegal, but I feel like there (in theory) isn’t anything stopping you from just standing and watching the construction workers repave roads for several hours. Maybe those guys need some pointers, anyway.
Wearing A Rival School’s Merch
It should be illegal to wear a Michigan sweatshirt on campus, but unfortunately, it’s probably allowed.
