The first time I got in a fight, I was sleeping on a couch after a night of drinking. Some kid though I looked at his johnson while he was peeing outside, so he dragged me off the couch and punched me three times in the jaw. I didn’t fight back, which is something I’ve always regretted. Since then, I have refrained from fighting, mostly because I’m a glasses-wearer.
You hear a scuffle from across the bar. Loud, incoherent shouts coupled with angry grunts and tumbling bar stools. Sighhhh... yet another drunken buffoon trying to prove his dominance like a male chimpanzee.
Okay, I get it. Males need to prove their dominance because of the structure of our society. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there, only the strong shall survive, it’s a man’s world…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
Although I believe that these drunken tirades are pointless, I have to admit that they are utterly entertaining.
I’ve noticed that each male fight almost always follows the same dialogue, listed below are some of my favorites.
Are you stuck in a boring lecture in class? Are you at the HUB killing time between classes? Are you looking for a way to get out of writing that 10-page paper that's due tomorrow that you haven't even started? Have no fear! Onward State has you covered with a list of sites to effectively waste time on!
Penn State is prejudiced against the tall. I have only been on campus for 3 months now, but I have noticed the rampant intolerance against everything vertical. As a 6'0" girl I have hit my head and bent over backwards (literally) at this college too many times to count. My curiosity was sparked; how tall are the problematic places on campus? So armed with a tape measure and a camera I sought out spots on campus that just don't suit the tall.
Here at Penn State, it is rumored that the three most recognizable people are Joe Paterno, Graham Spanier, and Gary Catell, who is appropriately named the Willard Preacher. Whether or not that's true, nearly every single student sees the Willard Preacher and for someone who is in his own right a human landmark, barely anyone knows who he actually is.
