The introduction of new strains of COVID-19 on campus has many students, understandably, concerned. While many point fingers at violators of the Campus Compact, a study conducted by the CDC has confirmed our worst fears, that the strain is transmitted through one of America’s most beloved British shows: The Great British Bake Off.

Dr. Bud, a well-known and highly respected professor in the Religious Studies department, began hosting virtual smoke sessions during his weekly office hours this past January. The new initiative, Herbal Hours, has been extremely successful so far, consistently gathering more students than Bud’s weekly lectures.

In a lot of ways, Penn Transit is that girl. We all know and love her. Even though she takes approximately 67 minutes to get ready every time we go out... It’s okay because she’s there when we need her most.

Ezra Bachar (C’24) has been caught up in the biggest plagiarism scandal of the week. They have been in a dispute with their European History professor since early Monday morning, who granted them an automatic fail when noticing that their essay could be found word-for-word on Wikipedia. Bachar claims that, although there are significant similarities between their essay and the Wikipedia page, it does not count as plagiarism because they authored the entire Battle of Agincourt article themselves. This twelve-page article contains almost 200 citations and is so high-brow that it doesn’t even mention that the Battle of Agincourt was the inspiration for the Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones. The only cultural references included are to Shakespeare adaptations, a sign that most classmates agree suggests that this was not the work of Bachar.

Intro to Marketing Professor Theodore Waddell recently sent out an email to all of his students entitled “Five Reasons Why We Are Switching to Clickbait Format (And Five Reasons Why We Should Absolutely Do No Such Thing).” Students were confused by the contradictory nature of the email. Is this, as the email claimed, what it looked like when a college class embraced the unique challenges of reaching a large viewer demographic in an Internet culture that is becoming increasingly niche? And if the email contained fifteen things you’d never thought you’d hear a professor say, why did at least ten of them sound identical while the other five were just ads?

New Student Orientation is pretty great as is, but just imagine if everything was farm themed. Think about it - replace the darties with tractor rides, the late nights with some lit ass land tilling. I know, I’m also queefing with excitement.

Is your common sense better than the Penn administration? Are you also ready to infect more students just for a little more money?

Hey, bro. Wanna do me a solid here and proofread my essay? Yeah, just read it over and add a few suggestions or something. I’ll take a look at it once I get back from Smokes. Don’t be afraid to tear it to shreds — it’s due at midnight. Thanks, man! Later.

Keen-eyed passerbyers will note that the McDonald’s on Walnut and 40th always has its American flag at half mast. Symbolically, flags flying at half-mast usually signify some sort of grieving, so this begs the question, what is McDonald’s constantly grieving about?

The Daily Pennsylvanian has now launched DP+, the new mobile app where users can better access DP news and content right from their phone. Sounds pretty harmless, right? Well, not quite. You see, the addition of this new software widens the reach (control?) that the DP already has over the student body (and the surrounding Philadelphia area in general). From printed editions, to their fancy website, and the daily emails, they’ve successfully infiltrated every aspect of our lives.

It’s a tale as old as time, girls hate the nice guy and fuck the bad boy. The nice guy sits at home with his little “pod,” trying to protect his grandmother and people he doesn’t even know? The nice guy cares about the community and others, and is a lame-ass little bitch. What girls want is big parties and casual hook up sessions, not Zoom dates with the Green Pass guy. Do you want to get drunk alone and have phone sex over Zoom? I don’t think so. Girls want the baddie with the Red Pass because let’s face it, red is known for being the most seductive color anyway. Do they have loss of appetite and a new rash on their toes or fingers? Frankly, that’s none of your business anyway.
