Well, spring semester has been unpaused and school continues in State College, but we can still make those memories of beaches, family, and fun last. Send in your best photos from spring break to [email protected] by Friday, March 16. We'll pick the top 10, and then you'll be able to vote on the winner. The photo with the most votes will win a $50 gift card to Zola New World Bistro on College Ave. Whether you went to Florida, Massachusetts, or just stayed home, let's see your best photos.
A year ago, I was challenged to come up with a poem about State Patty's Day to which I said, "Challenge accepted". A Visit From State Patrick was born and posted the day before State Patty's 2011. Now, with popular demand wanting it to be republished, I present it to you again. We would just republish the old story, but the poem was printed onto a picture which was lost when we switched servers. It is important to note that this is NOT AN ENDORSEMENT of State Patty's Day. I wrote the poem and I wish the "holiday" would die once and for all. That should quell any fears of the editorial staff being hypocrites as it pertains to SPD.
Valentine’s day is just around the corner for everyone, but love, unfortunately, is not! Whether you’ve already mated or you’re on the prowl, these locations on campus are about as lovey-dovey as they come. After the jump, check out where to take that guy or gal who has caught your wandering eye.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, we at Onward State would like to ask our readers to submit love letters to or from ex-boyfriends or ex-girlfriends, along with a brief (20-30 words) explanation of how your relationship ended.

Anonymous? I’m Not Crazy About That.
This week, Onward State will be implementing a pilot program to see how our website’s community would benefit from Facebook integration with our comment system. We have a hunch that Facebook integration will bring forth a new dawn of accountability and thusly raise the level of discourse on our website. You’re still welcome to accuse Kevin Horne of being a virgin in our comment section (encouraged, even), but just know that now we’re going to “poke” you when you do.
