Penn State is known to some as a land of opportunity. They would be correct. Penn State is also known to some as a place to party hard. They would also be correct. Penn State is known to others for its football, or its volleyball, or its field hockey…O.K. they’re pretty much all good. To be honest with you I don’t know if you could identify Penn State for just one thing. It is all of the above mentioned, and so much more.

I have been here for a little over a month now and I thought it would be a good time to write. I’ve always heard college is what you make it. This could not be truer than at PSU. No one is going to come to you, no one is going to ask you to do your homework, and it is honestly up to the individual.

So far since I’ve been here I haven’t missed a class. I also, unfortunately, haven’t been to a club meeting either. That is definitely something I need to work on. I haven’t been to a party (believe it or not it’s true), but I also haven’t sat alone every night. I think I’ve found a pretty good balance.

College is all about finding what makes you happy, what clicks for you. I encourage everyone to not be shy, not to hold back or limit their opportunities. Get out there, find your comfort zone, and go with it. It can make or break the “college experience” for anyone. Don’t sit back and wait for anything to come to you.

Well that’s about all that has been on my mind right now, maybe a few other things here or there, namely exams. I also can’t believe it’s fall and October already. Time sure does fly. Enjoy the weather, and take care everyone.
