Penn State experiences we don’t have words for yet

As Penn State students, we go through some experiences that are definitely abnormal. If they are normal, there aren’t really words to describe the experience or feeling to someone who hasn’t lived through it themselves. Sometimes it may be hard to describe the confusion of an experience, the joy or even the fear. Here is VALLEY’s list of Penn State experiences that there just aren’t quite words for yet …

Meeting Your Freshman Year Roommate For The First Time

Those initial days with your roommate who you don’t know at all, but are all of a sudden living with can be interesting. The awkwardness is hard to overcome. Sometimes it’s a sigh of relief, but sometimes it’s not …

Do you have a text?” It’s a humbling experience, but good for character development.

Taking Your First Pollock Testing Center Exam

Whether you didn’t bring a bag with a zipper or forgot your ID, the Pollock Testing Center is a nerve-racking experience. Bonus points if you get the lecture before entry from the workers. 

Trying To Find Housing A Month Into Freshman Year

You just got settled into your freshman year dorm, and now you have to look for sophomore year housing. Do you even have enough friends to fill an apartment yet? 

Going Back Home For The First Time

Home-cooked meals, seeing friends and family, lying in your comfortable bed and having your laundry done for you. It’s hard to beat.

It’s cold. It’s snowy. It’s crowded.

Failing Your First Test You Thought You Did Well On

This happens to the best of us. All you can do is move on and think, “Better luck next time.”

FALLING IN THE SNOW IN FRONT OF EVERYONE 

It’s bound to happen at some point. 

Trying To Find A Nail Salon

Ask a group of girls where to get your nails done in State College, and the room may go silent. Someone will have a complaint for every salon in the area. If it is not the nail job itself, it’s the long wait times or the high prices. 

Going To The Gym During The First Week Of Classes 

The lines outside the gyms during the first week of classes are something that needs to be studied. All of a sudden, everyone in State College is a gym rat? But then the second week of classes rolls around, and everyone seems to have given up on their goals … typical. 

Even if you haven’t experienced these moments yet, you are bound to at some point. And the list seriously does not stop here.
