A Day In The Life Of A Penn State Student As Told By Amy Schumer

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at PSU chapter.

Life as a student at Penn State is indescribable. Whether you’re walking to class on our beautiful campus during the day, navigating through downtown State College at night with friends or even standing with fellow students at football games in Beaver Stadium, every day at Penn State is an experience. Ahead of her performance scheduled at the Bryce Jordan Center this tonight, here is a day in the life of a Penn State student as told by the golden, funny lady Amy Schumer.

 

1. When you forget to set an alarm and have five minutes to get ready

 

2. When you throw on your go-to outfit for class

 

3. “Alright everyone, hand in the homework I assigned last week”

 

4. When your professor tells you to shut off your laptop

 

5. When you’re at the HUB surrounded by football players

 

6. And then when you try to look at their tags to see who they are

 

7. When you make eye contact with a cute guy, and he smiles at you

 

8. When you go to IM in between classes

 

9. When you decide to try out a new workout

 

10. When someone asks you what team you’re rooting for during March Madness

 

11. When you try to eat healthy, but salad makes you sad

 

12. When your professor puts something on the quiz even though he said, “Don’t worry. I won’t quiz you on this”

 

13. When you try to get the best snap with one of the day’s new filters

 

14. When you walk past the Willard Preacher on your way to class

 

15. When you low-key watch Parks and Rec during your lecture in Forum

 

16. When you find out that your last class of the day got canceled

 

17. When your friend texts you, “Have you eaten yet? Let’s go to Chipotle”

 

18. When you don’t understand politics but try to keep up with your friends

 

19. When you text your crush, and he doesn’ respond

 

20. When you get to the bus stop right as the Blue Loop is driving up

 

21. When you clearly have headphones on, but someone tries to talk to you

 

22. When someone on a bike tries to cut you off

 

23. When someone asks, “So, what are your plans for tonight?”

 

24. When your friend decides at the last minute to not go out

 

25. When this is the only pregame you need

 

26. When that one guy at the party isn’t getting the hint that you’re not interested

 

27. When all you want in life is to be left alone with your wine

 

28. When you have to walk through downtown to get home

 

29. When you finally make it back home and start scrolling through OrderUp

 

30. When you inhale your food right before you pass out for the night

 

31. When you wake up the next day and live your beautiful Penn State life all over again
