Though the entirety of your college career at Penn State may seem to be the best time of your life, there are those darned situations you can't seem to avoid. Though these following situations are highly relatable by most of the Penn State population, you can't help but witness them happening to others and think, "You hate to see it."
If you ever need a laugh or to make yourself feel better, take a look at the timeline of @Hank_CATAbus, a State College CATA driver who tweets about his ridiculous adventures around town.

We've all seen these rules violated, and have inwardly screamed obscenities at the tactlessness of some riders lacking CATA etiquette. Here’s how to avoid being targeted with angry glares on the bus -- or in other words -- how not to be a CATA douche.
You, the readers, have spoken and we here at Onward State heard your suggestions. You all made it perfectly clear that Penn State has more than just ten personalities we all find endearing.
