I can’t imagine going through all this nonsense as a freshman, and I suppose this plea is mainly for them. I can promise you this; if you’ve only been on campus for less than three months, this is not the Penn State that I fell in love with. I am thankful that I had at least one year of normalcy here, but I am even more thankful for the next three years in this special place called Happy Valley. Trust me, it will get better. Don’t give up just yet.
Imagine trying to sell a product to consumers while just about everybody else in the world is bashing it. This was not supposed to be a real scenario; it was not part of the description when you volunteered for the job. Keep in mind that this is not some new innovative product without a track record, quite the contrary actually, as it has existed for over one hundred fifty years. It has been amazingly good to you. Currently, a few people associated with the product have tried to bring it down.
Penn State Club Croquet is a club shrouded in mystery. We’ve all seen them on campus, in their light blue pinnies, or at football games in their cutoff jean shorts and faux mustaches. Many of us have even come across the infamous “Croq house” also known as the “Bro-quet house.” These dedicated members have created quite a stir on campus, priding themselves in going over the top in everything they do; the sillier, the better.
The news of Jerry Sandusky's charges has brought up many emotions. Unfortunately, many people are focusing on the wrong issue. Let's not think about how this hurt PSU, but rather how PSU can help.
Last night, Altoona locals Eyes Wide performed along side Russell Dauberman and Andrew Woomer at Waring Commons for The Asylum Haiti fundraiser. With a five dollar donation at the door, students relaxed to an acoustic setting that reminded me of a camp fire or an open-mic night at a cafe.
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.
