Living in the middle of Pennsylvania might not seem like the ideal dream for most people, but Happy Valley, PA is filled with qualities that make its residents, well, happy! If you’re from any town inside of the happiest valley, then you’ll definitely relate to at least five of these things.
The rivalry is real and kickin. You cringe when you see that scarlet “O”. And on those fall game nights, the entire town whited out, you feel one with everyone else with the same mindset: beat the buckeyes.
Wawa who? Oh, you want water? Okay then…
We sit in the middle between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, so you get a complex from trying to decide who to root for. So you know you’re from central PA when half of your class are Steelers fans and the other half are Eagles fans.
Being in close proximity to the giant that is Penn State, you have at least 5 pieces of merchandise, or if you’re like me, you have 500. The t-shirts at the Family Clothesline are hard to resist.
95% of your class is staying in-state. But the question is Penn State or nah?
The one thing that dominates your town is always football. There’s nothing like being with 110,000 of your fellow lions on a warm Saturday in October in Beaver Stadium. And if you aren’t a huge fan? You get weird looks.
Berkey Creamery. Enough said.
If you’re from Happy Valley, PA you definitely have had difficulty with people who don’t recognize your town’s name, so you’ve learned to just say that it is near PSU.
There are farms left and right of you so you’re pretty immune to the smell of manure.
You know what I mean if you’re from here. Something always needs to be changed and it takes 5 years of course.
Again, enough said.
Even though you might want to get out of your small town, there’s nothing that could take the place of growing up in Happy Valley, PA.
