I may wear a green hat this weekend. I may not. I may have my first drink before noon (let's do Jameson on the rocks). I may not. But you bet your ass I'm going to get drunk. Not because it's some made-up Irish drinking holiday. Because I'm a college student with a bad case of senioritis and it's the weekend.
An argument could be made that I am a bad Penn Stater. Admittedly, I have not attended a single sporting event in my freshman year. Even this past weekend I found myself tossed amid the student body minority not queuing up outside the BJC at all hours. I’d like to defend myself, however. I attend classes, participate in various groups around campus, and, of course, I like to let loose when the weekend rolls around. Actually, I like to let shit hit the fan. So, State Patty’s? I’m interested.
This weekend thousands of Penn State students will drunkenly take to the streets to honor... the alcoholism of our Irish ancestors? I happen to be 100% Irish myself, so I called up my relatives from the Emerald Isle to see how they felt about the way they're being portrayed this weekend.

Celebrating for the sake of celebrating tends to bring out the worst in people. There are few days that attract assholes quite like SPD, and they will be out in full force. Depending on how much you're going to "celebrate," you may just spot an asshole passing by. Or, you may be one.
Want to be a part of Penn State’s Harlem Shake? Well, here’s your chance. The Harlem Shake has blown up all over YouTube and is now making its appearance right here on campus with nearly 3,000 people RSVP'd to attend a filming on the HUB lawn.
