SOMEWHERE INSIDE OF HUNTSMAN HALL- In a story that proves courage is still alive and well here at Penn, an unnamed sophomore boldly decided to take a stand and go for seconds during a speaker series, last Tuesday evening. 

Her fellow attendees watched with awe as she slowly rose from her seat with her already used plate in hand, and slunk towards the buffet table filled with lukewarm Pattaya green curry. She gingerly scooped some rice onto her plate, yet when she turned around to head back to her seat, she was shocked to see people standing and clapping. 

"What an inspiration," one senior, also at the event, said. "In my four years, I've never seen someone act so decisively with such precision." 

Even the guest speaker stopped mid-interview to rise from his seat and clap, acknowledging her achievement. Despite the unanimous praise, the anonymous buffet-seconds-getter felt embarrassed and was quick to clarify that this "was not something [she] normally does," she just "hadn't had time to get lunch in between classes." 

Either way, her legacy has been cemented as the girl who dared to be different! People have already begun to cite her as the reason that they defied norms and reached for another bite.
