Every semester, there are three sure signs that finals season has rolled around. First—the most obvious—Van Pelt's got extended hours; second, the nursing students have deserted campus; and third, a strict Don't Ask Don't Tell policy on showering has been tacitly ratified by everyone you know and love.

Heya, whatcha doin' on 4/20? Right right, besides that. Okay, well how 'bout you check out Penn [Dis]Connects? It's a student-run, totally grassroots (read: uber-hippie) event to be held on Saturday, April 20th devoted to getting groups of students "to pledge to turn off their phones and computers for the day and instead just do fun activities together, fully present, technology-free." The goal of Penn [Dis]Connects is to experientially realize the value that comes from being conscientious about the way we use technology and how it impacts our engagement with the people and world around us. Bla bla bla. Wanna save the last bit of data on your phone plan? Wanna hang out with your friends instead of chatting up that St. Joe's kid on Tinder? Wanna join a giant sunset potluck on College Green (unconfirmed) where no one will be instagramming their food or texting their moms? Then hit up Penn [Dis]Connects, which you can (somewhat ironically) find on Facebook, Twitter and GMail. Pledge online today!

Looks like the midnight curfew set in early for the 3900 block of Spruce Street, with reports that the entire street's power is completely out and Yoni Goldblatt is totally sneaking into Rachel Berg's top bunk for a chance at second base. "Oh my god, can you believe it?!" "Pass me your flashlight—I can't see!"

Dear readers, we heard your frantic cries, and we've responded accordingly. Everyone's second-favorite weekly roundup is back! So let's get down to the nitty gritty, shall we? Here's what's hitting campus this week.
Philly-based artists OCD: Moosh & Twist have released a video for their song "This High," which they aptly filmed on the bacchanalian field and bleachers of Fling. The chorus, "I don't wanna come back down from this high," echoes the sentiments and shouts of MERTed roommates everywhere. Moosh & Twist's video prominently features not only Franklin Field, but the Palestra, too, marking the end of an old era, when all music videos were filmed exclusively at campus bars.
It's official! Your cab fare to the nearest Shake Shack will be nearly halved as of late summer/early fall, when the newest link in the NY burger chain will make its home at 32nd and Chestnut.
BroBible posted a notice to the interwebs instructing readers to submit America's ultimate fraternity domains, and the results are in: Penn's Psi Upsilon chapter, or Castle, is America's #7 best frat house—a rather patriotic title for a group of international imports. Long called the most impressive house on Penn’s campus, the Castle was built in 1899 and, after a short break in the 90s, has remained the Psi Upsilon house ever since. Unanimous sentiment of everyone in the office upon seeing its picture: “Sweet.” Oddly enough, for a bunch of guys who pride themselves in engaging conversation, Castle is the one house on the list that doesn't have a "Your Take" section, meaning that the folks over at BroBible scoured the place up on their own with seemingly no submissions or input from anyone at Penn. Sweet.
