About Maria
Hello! My name is Maria, I am from upstate New York and a current Penn State student. This blog actually started as my freshman year English project that I just couldn't let go. Now, Classy Girls Go to State is much more than just English projects. This blog contains my thoughts on Penn State, pop culture and the world as a whole. You can probably find me walking aimlessly around campus or at a local Starbucks. I enjoy meeting new people and learning more about the school I go to. My interests include photography, blogging (duh!) and a ton of shopping. I hope you enjoy the blog!
Why Penn State?
When I started looking at colleges, I always thought I would stay in-state (New York). I looked at a lot of SUNY (State University of New York) schools, but none of them really felt like home. I never thought Penn State was an option until my guidance counselor brought it to my attention. I scheduled a tour of the campus not expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised when I arrived. As corny as it sounds, the second I stepped on campus I fell in love with Happy Valley. The school spirit is undeniable, and I couldn't picture myself spending my college years anywhere else but here.
