Journal # 4 party school

The hour long radio broadcast of the # 1 Party school, definitely portrayed the idea that Penn state is without a doubt the school for drinking and its location in state college doesn’t help. I feel it was bit overblown but well documented. The interviewing of several local residents made it seem as if their lives were centered on keeping the house safe from loud drunken crowds of college students parting from Wednesday to Sunday until the early am hours. The evidence shows that partying at Penn state is basically part of the curriculum. There was a lot of interaction between the reporters and students who were local crazed night goers seeking the ultimate college experience. Reality is something different and there is only so much to say about what the average college student is expected to do. Penn state may be widely recognized for its drinking and overall love for their school. It is expected that college students will drink. Though many of them who do are still able to maintain a healthy lifestyle and balance of school work and play. The non partiers at penn state are closely numbered to the amount that do drink. The rudiment of school and club filled activities shy them away from drinking and into doing more productive things. Although if you want to party here it is very easy, agreed. There is also so many other fun things to do here and around stat college. The investigator seemed to have dwelled on the fact of the only fun is going to some sort of party/ tailgate. Almost every night there is an event and or club meeting. The hub offers many late night activities to do for fun without causing mayhem in the streets of downtown late night. Although this so called mayhem the store owners and delivery boys brought up is not what you would normally think of. State college is also ranked the safest metropolitan area in the U.S. “I wonder why” it because the so called mayhem is not crime and destruction, it is happy valley spirit. Many of the students feel where they are, is the best place to be, so the show it, especially on the weekends. The spirit is filled with singing down Main Street with a large number of people you may barely know but all are a part of one thing, which is We are Penn state. The scares of death from drinking and the loss of Joe Dado have opened the eyes of Penn states board. They know they will not be able to stop drinking and the in state college, but want to help. The president of the school joked about how penn state is ranked top for almost anything which is very true, and partying just came along with those other great achievements, such as athletic and academic successes. Overall the town has a tradition of having fun, while representing the lion. Drinking is a long time thing that just is a part of the lifestyle for many. Working and success come along with hard earned respect and honor, but we know that everyone needs a break sometime.
