Things To Do if You're Visiting Penn State

In case you dont know, aku belajar dekat Penn State, US. Walaupun dah setahun lebih aku belajar dekat sini, most of the time aku pergi kelas and balik, so macam aku tak menghayati sangat life as a student here. Aku tak pernah anggap diri aku as a tourist, hence that's why aku tak pernah nak bergambar merepek-merepek dekat campus. So since this Thanksgiving holiday campus cuti seminggu and semua orang balik kampung, I decided why not aku buat photoshoot and tour area campus ni. Terus aku mesej kawan aku and ajak dia keluar petang tu jugak.


Sekarang ni Maghrib masuk awal. So by pukul 5pm dah gelap. Hence we dont have enough daytime. So kalau nak buat planning apa-apa, make sure sebelum matahari terbenam. Afir pernah cakap, waktu terbaik untuk bergambar ialah dari pukul 8am-10am and 5pm-7pm sebab time tu matahari rendah, so kita akan dapat pancaran cahaya yang cantik. But since matahari terbenam sekarang pukul 5pm, so pukul 4pm kitorang ambik gambar. Eh ok, dah lari tajuk ni.


So let me present you ways to waste your time at Penn State. (If you were happen to get stuck here)


1. Take Photos at the Lion Shrine.

Lion Shrine ni ialah Penn Staters' pride. It was presented to Penn State as 1940 class gift; and since then, it's being the most photographed site on the University Park campus. Hari-hari aku lalu depan shrine ni tapi tak pernah berpeluang untuk ambik gambar (sebab ketiadaan photographer), but yesterday I made my first time!


Bila sentuh lion ni rasa sejuk sangat and I didn't know this thing was huge! Aku memang gayat time panjat ni, and beberapa kali macam nak tergelincir. Nak panjat ni pun satu masalah sebab kaki tak sampai and sumpah kena kangkang besar gila. Serious kangkang besar -.-


However, aku berjaya buang perasaan gayat tu and panjat jugak (and berjaya kangkang besar juga). Lihatlah prove ini!

Squirrel, atau tupai dekat sini sangat-sangat comel!!! Tapi aku masih belum berpeluang untuk tangkap seekor. Kalau dapat memang aku kurung dia dalam rumah sebab comel sangat. Huhu. Kejar and bermain dengan squirrel memang dapat mereleasekan tension lepas habis kelas or lepas screwed an exam :)



4. Chillin' at the Old Main 

This is the main building and being renowned as a landmark for Penn State. Dulu building ni sangat penting, but now it's just an administrative building. Aku tak pernah masuk pun bangunan ni, but it's nice to take photos with it as a background, since bangunan ni ialah mercu tanda Penn State. Means that kau dah berjaya jejak Penn State kalau ada bergambar depan bangunan ni. Biasanya during Summer, students akan duduk berbaring dekat padang ni, main frisbee, study bawah pokok. So agak menyamankan...  Masa Winter pulak, ada je student yang buat Snowman dekat sini. So agak seronok berada dekat sini.
