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

We all know the historic spots on campus, the best places to eat, and the quickest shortcuts to get to class.  But we also all know the best spots for snapping an Instagram that’s worthy of posting.  Whether it’s a picture of your burrito from Chipotle downtown or your Grilled Chicken Pesto from Irving’s, Penn State is known for having the best Insta-game around. So how many of the following have you actually Insta’d?  Don’t lie, you know you’ve posted basically all of these. It’s okay, we won’t tell anyone.

1. If you’ve never posted a pic of you sitting on the lion shrine, do you even go to Penn State?

2. An epic pic of you being thrown up in the air after a touchdown. #athleticandcute

3. A tailgate selfie.

4. Your pristine chocolate chip or strawberry waffles from The Waffle Shop before you chowed down.

5. Your entire sorority pledge class with letters in hand.

6. A selfie wearing your bid day shirt.

7. Glorious Creamery ice cream (Death by Chocolate in a sugar cone anyone?)

8. Old Main itself in all its beauty.

9. You in front of Old Main.

10. Beaver Stadium on a game day.

11. A panorama of all 107k dedicated Penn State football fans.

12. Those infamous late night Pokey Sticks from Gumby’s.

13. A box of 12 deliciously assorted flavors of Insomnia Cookies at 2 A.M.

14. You at the top of Mount Nittany – because you hiked solely for the ‘gram.

15. The amazing sunsets over Beaver Stadium.

16. You and your besties on a theme party night.

17. Your froyo from Kiwi.

18. And you can’t forget about your syllyest pic from sylly week.
