All Troy was tryin' to do was let the Class of 2015 know about a generic-sounding event: some free food, free t-shirts, and tons of sweet prizes at this Saturday's Quaker Takeover. A group of Sophomores just couldn't hold in their excitement, letting the entire listserv (Freshmen2011 @ LISTS.UPENN.EDU, for your reference) know just how they were feeling, reply-all style.
Can't get enough of Gap's twice-daily 30% off emails? Neither can Daniel Ortiz.
You registered to vote in Pennsylvania--a swing-state--so you could cancel out the vote of your left-leaning roommate, or perhaps you actually believe your vote counts. Either way, it's your first election, and you're about to do it big.
If you've ever camped out in a GSR for hours, bought a textbook from someone who you've never met and will never speak to again, or stalked 12 years worth of comments on a professor's class, then you definitely know PennApps labs. Yup, those people (we dare you to look more like computer programmers) who will probably create the new Facebook before they graduate.
Losing a professor is always a huge blow to the community, especially when that professor is your own. But the legacy left by former five-term Senator and Penn Law faculty member Arlen Specter, who passed away yesterday at the age of 82, is unparalleled. Here are 5 things you should know about his career:
If you were living under a rock this summer and didn't get a chance to watch the London Olympics, you probably missed The Who perform the finale at the closing ceremonies.
Another midterm, another all-nighter--especially because you lost your entire weekend to entertaining your parents, assuming they've left already (middle-aged couple with the "Proud Penn Parents" pins sitting under Commons this morning: we're talking to you. Go home.) But if you care to give yourself a study break, or if you feel like being truly collegiate and "winging it", we have a whole slew of Philly events for ya!
Excited to order the $65 sushi platter at Pod this weekend, packing in 4 and a half rolls on your parents tab? We sure hope not!
The majority of Penn students who spend 7 days eating, studying, (and sometimes sleeping) outside don't live in canvas-walled, bamboo-roofed huts--they're forced to brave the weather without the help of God.
Your parents have been away from you for just over a month, and already they're worried that something dire has happened: you've used up all six bottles of shampoo, the labels on your underwear came off in the wash, you haven't found a nice Jewish boy yet…
By last count, we're a little obsessed with numbers: Why did the phone number she gave me last night only have 6 digits? How many dining dollars does Hillel charge? How many sheets of toilet paper does my Rodin roommate use per bathroom visit? (See below to check your answers**).
Between the new Commons and all the food trucks on campus, we're pretty sure you'll never be in search of a meal again. But if you are a little adventuresome (think: as crazy as picking a random roommate your Sophomore year), you might just find yourself a short line and great food. Here are 5 things you need to know about the food source named for Joseph Wharton himself:
Free Ice Cream Outside College Hall--But only if you're willing to wait in line to get a ticket that entitles you to a treat from the Good Humor truck, parked near VP. And we thought moving vehicles on Locust Walk were no longer a thing!
Seeing your classmate dressed in black doing the awkward speedwalk-shuffle down Walnut means one of two things: Either s/he's about to deliver a Status Report with a massive wedgie…or it's OCR season. But for those looking to score jobs in finance or consulting or– nevermind, good looks and little bit of hustle can only get you so far.
Note to Class of 2017: Even though early decision is a good 3+ months away, you no longer have to feel guilty about reading this blog. But before you get moving on the college process, you might want to stop and think about whether you're movable, immovable, or a mover. Confused? So are we.
I'll Take A Large Coffee For $1--Head on over to the Penn Bookstore wearing red and blue and receive a Starbucks Venti coffee (or tea) for $1! The promotion lasts today and tomorrow, perfect for those who are counting the seconds until they can start burning dining dollars next week. Hurrah, hurrah, Pennsylvania!
Attention freshmen and freshwomen: NSO (for those living under a rock, NSO = New Student Orientation) is approaching! It’s a well-known fact that Orientation weekend is second-to-none– at least during the Fall semester (sorry, Fling is totes better). Of course, with plenty of things to do, the first few days at Penn are chaotic. But not all school-sponsored events are created equal, so we’re here to tell you what’s what on Locust (ya know, that sidewalk through the middle of campus) and beyond. Come along, new friends!
It sure beats tattooing your behind with your alma mater, but we're not exactly running to buy the newest offering from the campus Bookstore: A Wharton-monogrammed iPad, laser-engraved with the school's logo. The embodiment of a brand-name education, the Wharton iPad is only $599 from Penn Computer Connection and comes pre-loaded with Wharton software so you can reserve a GSR for your MGMT team while sitting on the toilet. Take it a step further and set your wallpaper to the Wharton-themed background, included with every gadget.
Put on your pearls and saunter down Sansom because Doc Magrogan's is opening today, joining New Deck, Baby Blues and White Dog off of 34th. Formerly occupied by La Terrasse, the new restaurant is designed to look like a Boston oyster bar from the early 1900s, so think Red Lobster but with waitresses in hoop skirts. Good news, though: they have their own bar! Millcreek Mondays just became Magrogan's Mondays, except not really.
Amy is famous! (Again)-- Call it her book tour or call it the best 50 minutes of your life, but our president, the so-called "busiest person in the city," has been a hot commodity for the scholarly paparazzi lately. Check out last week's interview with Forbes that doesn't disappoint (she referenced our founder), and watch an interview on Philly's ABC channel that lasts nearly an hour. That smile!
