Fight on, State

Today was the Blue-White game and the last time I was in Beaver Stadium as a student. It was surreal thinking about it, being there and knowing even when I return as an alum it won't quite be the same.

The Collegian also held a tailgate, which went really well. I was so glad at the amount of people who showed up. Thanks for coming, everyone! There was a lot of food, a lot of laughs and a little bit of football.

Thinking back, I can't recall skipping a single game during the past four years. All in all I probably attended at least 28 games in Beaver Stadium.

I remember my first White Out, where I didn't think anything could be more amazing than being with more than 100,000 other fans decked out in white and screaming "We Are!" I remember basically getting frostbite on my fingers and toes with my best friend from home during the last game of the semester last fall. And now I'll remember one last time in the stadium with a group of friends made late into my college career -- but ones I couldn't imagine this semester without.

And as I walked away from the stadium I actually didn't feel too sad. No tears came to my eyes. Because while I'll miss the camaraderie and chaos of the student section, I'll always be able to watch my Nittany Lions play. Even if I'm watching alone I'll know there are hundreds of thousands of fans cheering along with me.
