There is truly nothing like State College during a football weekend. As Penn State students we know and love those chaotic, loud, and nonstop fun-filled weekends, so we understand why our friends from other schools would want to experience them as well.

It seems like just last week we were enjoying the sunshine and warmer temps but soon we’ll be flocking to the stores downtown for new boots and scarves to ward off autumn’s chill.

In the college culture of crop tops and cleavage, we tend to view the idea of acting “ladylike” as hopelessly outdated. “It means you’re conservative,” says Sophomore Arielle Ettinger. “I think of women in white gloves, pearls and parasols.”

To test my theory that horoscopes are correct, I decided to go about my week (Monday through Saturday) normally and in the evening, looking at my horoscope to see how accurate it was.

Whether you’re catching up with family back at home, maintaining long distance relationships or even interviewing for your first job, it seems Skype is your new best friend.
