Greetings friends old and new! We're back at full posting speed today, so send your tips, and visit often.
Having an "oh crap it's senior year and oh shit classes start tomorrow" moment? So are we. If you think Smokes is getting a bit lenient with its entry policy (what the hell!), today's a chance to truly surround yourself with your senior peers.
The Penn Reading Project seminars, during which freshmen sit in rooms talking about a book they were supposed to but probably didn't read, is happening today. Normally, we'd just be like, whatever, b-o-r-i-n-g, except, well. How do we say this? This year's book is about toilets.
We Gettin' Ourselves A Makeover -- Surprise! We've been working hard on redesigning the site and it's finally ready! We're very excited! We're in the process of switching it over and smoothing things out, so don't hate if things look a little funky for the next day or so. We'll give you a full tour when things are up and running properly.
Biba To Open Next Week -- Biba, the wine bar by the folks from Tria on 30th and Walnut will soft launch in the middle of next week, according to a source. Andddd we're salivating.
Penn alums, living the dream, yet again. This time, it doesn't even involve hedge funds or competing on a Bravo reality show about art or anything! Rather, Vanessa Bayer '04, is joining the cast of Saturday Night Live. Since being the Director of Bloomers, Penn's female comedy group/Mask and Wig rival, Vanessa has spent time at Second City in Chicago, a well-known SNL feeder. Anyway, legit! We look forward to watching.
It's that time of year, weirdos who drool over meaningless college rankings! Penn has dropped one spot to number 5 in U.S. News and World Report's much-awaited Best Colleges 2011. Harvard, Princeton and Yale predictably retained the top triumvirate (in the same respective order as 2010), while Columbia usurped dear ol' Penn for the number 4 slot we held on to in 2010.
Everybody freak out! (It's okay, we already know you are!) Last night, Penn '09 grad Abdi Farah won Bravo's Work of Art. The show had many excited Penn devotees, though as one former UTB editor noted, "the shocking oversight is that he wasn't on cultural elite '08!"
As dedicated readers will know, we here at UTB take extreme delight in covering the opening of new food trucks in the Penn hood. Today, we present you with news of the newly opened La Vie Natural Juice and Smoothie.
Woohoo! Reports have surfaced that the Sansom Street spot formerly occupied by Bubble House will be taken over by Baby Blues, a BBQ restaurant. The menu (from a California branch) looks excellent. The restaurant hopes to open by the end of the year (ha, yeah right).
Hey There, Freshmen -- 10 Things You Shouldn't Bring To College, Even If You Think You Should
Believe it or not, NSO is fast approaching, which means...we need to get our shit together.
But don't worry, she will be back! Career Services guru/Queen of Your Inbox Claire Klieger mentioned in an email today that she will be going to Zimbabwe! What do you think she is doing there?!?!
Actually, it's just raining water. But a lot of it! From 38th and Spruce.

After three years of hungover Sunday mornings, I have been jonesing for a new brunch spot near campus for a really long time! Really, I cannot eat another omellette from Allegro or breakfast wrap from Metro. Alas, the time has finally come!
Because it is too fucking hot and you really do need a cold beer -- All beers brewed within 100 miles of Philly are $2 off their regular price at City Tap House, through Friday.
At first, we laughed at an editorial in The Times of India which asserts that Penn offers a masters in happiness. But then we were like, wait, could this be for real? And how did we not know about it? Well, it is kind of real.
Believe it or not, there's more on the oft-debated topic of "Is Penn Actually Worth It?" The Huffington Post says yes! Yes, it is worth it, the $200,000 is worth it.
