Well, folks, we’re in the homestretch of the school year, and time is moving fast.

Take these next few weeks to enjoy our amazing campus, the beautiful weather, and the start of graduation festivities. The semester is officially in its final lap.

With classes ending in just 16 days, there’s plenty to reflect on regardless of where you are in your Penn State journey. Whether you’re ending your first year here, coming up on halfway, going into your senior year, or perhaps ending your journey after four years. Either way, throw on some music, hang out with friends, and don’t miss any opportunity to enjoy the parts that make State College so great!

With songs like “Spring Into Summer” by Lizzy McAlpine and “Dog Days Are Over” by Florence + The Machine, these songs are sure to get you into the perfect mood to grasp onto the fleeting moments of spring.

Happy listening, folks!
