A Philadelphia based capitalist group appears responsible for the historic unrest that has been simmering in the city for the past few decades. A close-knit group of corporate lobbyists and leaders of the local learning collectives, it has historically been known through different names, including the “West Philadelphia Corporation.”

In the midst of the most important social movement of our generation, Penn students are coming to terms with what they owe to those around them. Finally taking decisive action, my fellow students have begun redistributing funds back into my Venmo to cover the cost of brunch from last spring.

Hell yeah. You know just what you're seeing. It's a guy who gets it. And guess what? He's right here — no bluffing. You just gotta understand there's an agreement here. A look shared that says one thing: this guy gets it.

School is back in full swing, and that means a return of the welcome sights at Penn: freshmen scootering to class, hate protesters on Locust Walk, and those god-damn clubs that never stop flyering. Life on campus also means one more fixture: Penn police on their silly little Segways. But, reader beware, no matter how frivolous those officers look, remember that, at the end of the day, a cop on a Segway is still a cop.

“Please sir, can I have some more?” “Aye, m’lord, I’ll take better care not to reek.”

At Penn, we all love to hate the summer internship rush. It’s easy to criticize OCR and the constant worry over cover letters and resumes. Most Penn students are hell-bent on leaving Philadelphia for greener pastures in New York or San Francisco, but I can’t blame them — I’ll be making four figures in New York this summer.

Having already grossed an impressive $113 million dollars worldwide, Jordan Peele’s much anticipated second film 'Us' is set to be one of the most talked about films of the year. For Penn sophomore Angela Martin, ‘Us’ signals what is sure to be a month long campaign of completely faking her way through conversations about the film, because, in Martin’s own words, “I’m just totally busy.”

Students at Penn have always been politically involved. From protesting the Vietnam War, to fighting to be truly fossil free, to simply studying in the new political science building, there has always a keen sense of awareness in the actions of Penn students. And this past Saturday, March 16th, was no exception. As I looked across campus, I couldn't miss the mass movement of students turning up in all shades of green, making their total commitment to a progressive Green New Deal heard loud and clear.

In a shocking reveal, it would appear that the very same parents who told their son, current College freshmen Sean Greene, that he should “never do drugs,” had, three years prior, maintained a stance that they would “never get divorced,” despite doing just that one month later.

Choosing to spend time a semester away from Penn was not an easy decision. I knew I would be leaving behind friends, wonderful professors, and access to McKinsey & Company info sessions. However, getting the chance to study in America’s heartland is not an everyday opportunity, and I knew I had to take it. Looking back, spending a semester abroad in Wisconsin was the best decision I’ve made at Penn, and I’ll keep saying it until the cows come home.

We’ve all been there. You’re sitting in your 9 a.m. recitation, the professor droning on and on, and all you can think is: “I should have been up 3 hours ago milking my favorite dairy cow!” Don’t worry, you’re not going crazy: you’re just cow sick. Lucky for you, we’ve compiled five surefire cures for when you’re away from home and pining for your best bovine.

Red rover red rover, won’t you — never come over…? That’s the signal Lance Riddick (C ‘20) has decided to send to widely beloved frat dog Bear over the weekend.

Where's that jacket you lost Saturday night? It’s been found! The even better news? The frat you left it at has graciously donated it to charity — no questions asked!

Typically known for their once-yearly coffee houses and bi-annual 15% off clothing sales, campus favorite United By Blue is expanding into the ecotourism market, offering students the chance to use their spring break to frame photos of the great outdoors.

I get up early. Real mother-effing early. Like so early, you’d think I’m a student-athlete. I’m not, but I should be, because of how early I get up. Getting up early has completely shifted the way I think and live my life. Not only do I have more time for the gym, more time to send out emails about how I’ll have to get back to you, but I have more time to tell people how early I wake up. And that is truly the greatest gift of all.

A Netflix fireplace roaring behind him, Vice Provost Wendell Pritchett reclines back into his leather armchair, the figure of ease.

The turkey sits carved while the gravy boat simmers. Your Aunt Norma begins to recite Grace. Everyone is ready to begin this Thanksgiving feast except... who is that giggling across the table? Who else, but Dean of Admissions Eric Furda and your Uncle Mike, childishly saying the word "basted" over and over. You thought that bringing the Dean of Admissions to your family’s Thanksgiving would be a good opportunity to get to know each other, but it turns out he and your uncle are the ones really hitting it off this year.
