Favorite Quote: "To Be A Nittany Lion: What is it like to be one of 42,000? It means walking to class with a map. It's being a single person in a sea of blue and white. It's waiting in lines... for tickets, for seats, for refreshments. It's meeting at the Fishtank, eating at the Creamery and cringing at the Willard Preacher. It means studying on Old Main's lawn and afternoon teas at the Cafe. It means your drinks come in pitchers and your weekends start on Wednesday. It means roommates and friends, and if you're lucky, they're one in the same. It means bragging rights and everlasting pride. It's becoming a part of a place that becomes a part of you. WE ARE PENN STATE!" Randomness: I could bake cookies every single day and never get tired of it.
