If it hasn’t happened to you, it’s happened to a friend: the dreaded underage.

It’s not uncommon to hear stories of Penn State students getting written up for underage drinking while they’re in college. Maybe you were at a party that got busted, you were walking on the wrong side of the street, or, frankly, you deserved it. Regardless of what happened, getting an underage citation usually makes for a pretty good story.

A few years ago, we asked for your best stories from when you got an underage at Penn State. The results were awesome. We heard from folks young and old about their rough nights of drinking, and we felt it was time to run it back. There’ve been almost eight years for Penn Staters to make more memories of getting an underage, and we want to document them.

If you have a story where you got an underage, we want to hear it. Please complete the form below or email your story to joe@onwardstate.com for a chance to be featured on our site!
