Get ready, get set, and mark your calendars! With all of the musical power invested in him, the Penn State Boombox Guy took to his Twitter yesterday to declare all Wednesdays henceforth as “Boombox Day.”
I recall thinking about college all the time when I was younger. Penn State was the only choice (of course), however there was always the question of whether or not I would join a frat. So in honor of rush week I comprised a small list of pros and cons to look over and decide for yourself.
There are many sights to be seen in State College, but when you're new to the area you might not know where to start. First, talk to your friends. Even those people from high school who refuse to acknowledge that you go to the same university may offer some valuable advice.
Everyone loves to giggle at oblivious freshmen attempting to swipe their ID cards to get onto the White Loop after a long night on Frat Row, but getting around campus would be much less of a hassle (read: shit show) if everyone understood how the CATAbus worked.

Truly tantalizing stuff.
In a first of it's kind event in State College, tonight, Levels Nightclub has decided to host a "Students for Barack Obama" night.
