Where to Get Your Fix: Cafés on Campus

Late night studying have you yawning and tired eyed? Don't think you can help but fall asleep in your next class? Have no fear, Onward State is here to help keep you caffeinated! Here's a list of places where you can go to get a cup of coffee on Penn State's campus.

Overheard at Homecoming Weekend

This week's Overheard post needed to incorporate both past and present Penn Staters, so it required more than one day to hear what both sects had to say (or yell, or slur). In fact, it took the whole weekend. From Beaver Stadium to Beaver Avenue, here are the best things that I overheard on Homecoming weekend in Happy Valley.

Overheard on the Megabus

The comments I heard on every method of transportation I was subjected to between last Wednesday and today, Sunday, make these Overheard posts look tame. I had no idea that sober folk were even remotely entertaining. So as I boarded my Megabus back to Happy Valley, the final step in my jet-lag-ridden journey home, I decided to leave the earbuds out and listen to what my fellow passengers had to say.

Overheard at McDonald’s

You've heard what they have to say outside of Canyon. You've seen the crazy stuff they shout on the White Loop. Now get ready to hear what Penn State's finest have to say between 12 a.m. and 2 a.m. in line at one of State College's most beloved drunk eateries, McDonald's.

Here are a few of the best, worst, and most ridiculous things that we overheard on the White Loop.

Overheard on Beaver Ave

As you walk home from your late night weekend festivities, it’s pretty much inevitable that you’ll hear a snippet of a conversation between drunken passerby that, out of context, will force you to clap a shocked hand over your mouth to suppress an onslaught of uncontrollable laugher. Here are a few of the most ridiculous and entertaining tidbits that I -- and a few Onward State cohorts -- overheard on Beaver Avenue.
