Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Onward State! Aside from you readers, here is what our staff is thankful for this year.
Brittany Hicks and Chris Carmody came up with the idea of writing an original song about THON when the two were selected as Mr. and Mrs. PR for the Mr. and Mrs. THON Pageant. "Diamonds In The Air," which features Carmody playing the guitar and rapping and Hicks singing, was a combined effort between the two earlier in the semester.
It’s almost time for another football Saturday for the Penn State Nittany Lions (5-4, 2-3). The team will face off against the Purdue Boilermakers (1-8, 0-5) tomorrow afternoon at Beaver Stadium. The Boilermakers have yet to win a conference game this season and the team has been in disarray on both sides of the ball for the majority of the season. Here are our staff predictions for tomorrow’s noon kickoff.
Earlier this week, we published a list of the 100 Reasons Why We Still Are Penn State. One of the most incredible reasons is THON, with over 15,000 students participating in the ubiquitous philanthropy every year. With THON only 100 days away on February 15, we bring to you a list of the 100 reasons why the organization means so much to so many people. These are truly the reasons "Why We Dance" -- all for the kids!
Students aren't the only ones who have issues with classroom behavior. Here are classroom pet peeves, TA edition.
There is optimism around Penn State basketball for the first time since 2010-11. With that in mind, we ask this question: can this year's team make it to the NCAA Tournament? The season starts on Saturday, and March is a long way away, but it's never too early to talk basketball.
