Fun Things That College Students Do*Note: This is a compilation of quotes and moments that was primarily put together my freshman year at Penn State. A bit of it is from sophomore year. This is the only thing that remains from my "old" website. Enjoy! (and keep in mind that this is a result of freshman minds) :P
Some quotes from us crazy PSUers:
"Only we can go from talking about death to Snoods in the span of five minutes." (in reference to Julie and I's late night conversations)
"Who needs alcohol when you can just not sleep?" (in reference to delirium caused by lack of sleep)
"Guess what? I got a $10 gift certificate!"
"To where? The HUB?" (Julie excitedly telling me about her gift and my reaction)
"When you wake up, you'll be dead."
"I could probably run across the street, but then I'd have to go sit down on that bench." (Stephen)
"You come with nothing, and you leave with the world!" (in reference to going through things that people have left in PSU's football stadium, while going through the stands after a game)
"Now, if I told you to walk over the side of the cliff would you do that too?"
"No, well, first of all, you wouldn't say that, and mean it... at least I hope not."
"I like these shows because I can interact with them."
"Why does nacho night have to be on Tuesday? Why can't it be on Monday or Wednesday?"
"Maybe you should call Champs and tell them that it is interfering with your sleep schedule."
"And they would care because they so desparately need my $1." (conversation about the conflict between nacho night and 8 A.M.'s the next morning)
"I guess we don't need an excuse to be stupid."
"Elwin was thefted between 4:00 and 7:00. WHERE IS ELWIN?!" (in reference to Karen's giant stuffed fish)
"Maybe there is a convertible and we can 'borrow' a parking tag." (while wondering if we could park in a parking lot)
"There are wet spots on your bed."
"Oh, those are from my pants."
"You make me want to just quit school and get married."
"We can get married, forget our spouses, and walk out... all in the span of five minutes." (in reference to the linking of songs)

"We have very important things not to do."
"I have a serious problem: I don't study."
"My goal is to be unproductive."
"I am in hibernation."
"I have senioritis." (spoken from true freshmen)
"We prove that you can be drunk without ever actually drinking anything."

"Would Jesus have a toaster in his room?" (Karen convicting me about having an illegal toaster in my dorm room :P)
"I love coming to restaurants like these because you don't have to behave." (Barb)
"It's ok to theft from the dining commons but it's not ok to theft from Eatn' Park."
"The second I get married, I'm having a baby!" (Julie)
"I'd go skydiving... if it doesn't cost me an arm and a leg." (me)
"That's it... I don't invade your privacy because I can't." (in reference to me not being able to cross over to Julie's side of the room due to an abundance of items in the way)
"We come by, you not here, we eat in commons." (note on someone's message board)
"I would like you to meet my new boyfriend... his name is Cotton Lamb." (late night randomness)
"What's crazy?" (Julie, while playing the card game, Crazy 8's over spring break)
"No one's ever called me honey... but you did... and I like that." (country song)
"I'm not springy." (Karen - no further comment)
"I wonder what we would have done in college 20 years ago, when there were no computers."
"Well, we would have slept."
"Well, 3 fish is better than 1 fish. Maybe they'll survive because they have friends."
"I thought it was supposed to be permanent."
"It is permanent, for a little while."
"I don't know what I like more, sleeping, eating, or going to the bathroom." (anonymous by request)
"Well, I guess if you don't have a driveway, then there's no need to have a mailbox at the end of the driveway."

"My pants did fit until I got to college."
"When your pants don't fit any more... buy new ones!"
"Two pockets are two invitations for two bagels."
"I don't want to head bang; it'll hurt." (Barb, at the Fuel concert)
"Either wear a funny shirt or don't wear one at all." (also at the Fuel concert)
"When I get up in the morning, I like to put clothes on, not take them off." (Julie, in reference to most college students' choice of clothing - or lack thereof)
"I get confused when I'm tired... wait, I'm confused all the time."
"It sounds like a chainsaw... like out of a horror picture or something." (referring to Julie's electric pencil sharpener)
"I thought you said 'Super Brawl'... wait, that's like what it really is."

A very ironic fortune that I received from a fortune cookie: "Eliminate time-comsuming habits that interfere with things that matter."
