I know what you're thinking: "But, I'm 20 years old, I can't do Breakfast in Bed anymore." Say's who? I still tell my parents I believe in Santa Claus, and guess what? Santa keeps coming. 










‘Skabort!’ and Other Onomatopoeia to Spice up Your Sex Life

(06/04/21 3:46pm)

Researchers studying intimacy and sex in a post-quarantine world have found that couples have grown complacent in the bedroom. Partners are 70% less likely to try something new in bed and are 100% more likely to shrug their shoulders, look at their partner, and say, "that was fine...I mean, it was good. Right?"

We all have embarrassing moments from childhood preserved by unflattering pictures of dance recitals, pairs of patterned pants shoved to the back of a drawer, and of course, our all too eccentric, overly-bright room decor left to make us cringe upon our return from college.

After 159 years of remaining an all-male performing group, the Penn Glee Club made history this year by finally integrating women and dancers and the frat brothers that sell you weed and Poles and do-gooders and freshmen that got fucked over in housing selection and God-fearers and more God-fearers and the people that are most likely to have weapons on campus and soon-to-be unemployed students and fat skanks into their historically TTBB choir.
