Downtown: Everything’s Waiting For You
Going to school in a college town that consistently ranks in the top five college towns in the country certainly has its perks. When I give campus tours, I always highlight the fact that many colleges have a downtown area several miles away that’s reachable by bus or shuttle. Penn State’s downtown starts literally once […]
Home Sick
It is almost November and it is already past the half way point in the semester. Classes are starting to have their second midterms and final schedules have been sent out.

Flu Season
It’s that time of year where everyone in classes are getting sick. Before college, I relied on my mom whenever I was sick. She always knew what to do and more importantly how to cure me. When I was packing for college, my mom made sure I had all the prescriptions I needed in case […]
