The gold and black walls of The Attic (located at 346 East College Ave., formerly Campus Candy) are lined with every style of jeans and jackets for both guys and girls. The floor is consumed with circle racks packed with trendy sweaters (yes, even Christmas sweaters), tanks and graphic tees; shelves neatly lined with strappy pumps, fall boots, and what seems like an endless supply of accessories catching the eye of customers as they excitedly buzz through the store.

So you rotate through the few Penn State shirts you have, over and over and over.
