We've all heard the same spiel: Drugs are bad. You shouldn't do drugs. If you do them, you're bad, because drugs are bad, mmmkay? But then along come those pesky, know-it-all scientists who barge in and claim that, well, maybe not all drugs are entirely bad! Ugh, science! Why you gotta be so contrary?
After a 4-1 victory against China at a sold-out match at PPL Park, the Women's National Soccer team headed to Tap House for some post-game drinks and pre-Memorial Day celebrations. We'll call it a scene of all-around ra-ra-ra-America patriotism and conveniently gloss over the fact that almost everything in Tap House was probably made in China. Welp! Sophia Stylianos (SEAS '13) gets all smiley with legendary forward Abby Wambach. Abby likes gin and tonics. We like Abby. Congratulations to her and the rest of the Women's Team! (And come back tonight for Quizzo, yeah?)
Check Out These Pics Of Commencement 2k12– Get a look at Penn's newest alumni in the university's official Commencement photo set on Flikr. Especially noteworthy: this guy (cheer up, prof!), a sombrero'd dude and some crazy parent taking a pic on an iPad.
At a press conference on the Art Museum steps this morning, Jay-Z, appearing with Mayor Nutter, confirmed his participation with Budweiser's Made In America music festival, which will take place during NSO on the first and second of September. As Philly.com notes, there's no lineup yet, but Jay-Z should have no problem booking Kelly Clarkson. (Jay-Z, book Kelly Clarkson. Or Beyoncé. Please.)
Or so says the Elite Daily in a recent ranking that also includes Ivies Columbia and Harvard in addition to Philly neighbor Temple listed in the number two spot. Fortunately, we've recently learned that Penn is really fashionable, so at least you'll look very chic when you're finishing up that affidavit.
Most people celebrate the end of finals with a drink at Smoke's or sushi at Pod; our old friend Young Lou celebrates by releasing a new song about how money is falling out of his fanny pack like honey.
Short answer: probably not. Actually, most definitely not. On the one hand, yes, we do have The Walk, but we're not sure that entitles us to a place within the top ten of Stylitics' "Most Stylish Campus in America" campaign. Really, do Longchamp totes and Tory Burch flats classify as stylish any longer? Did they ever?
I'm Shmacked is a documentary series in which some horribly obnoxious college-aged ne'er-do-wells dance and prance about college campuses getting drunk as much as they possibly can, and it is even more annoying than it sounds– like MTV's The Real World, except without any redeeming qualities. Luckily for us, the creators came to Penn a few weeks ago for Spring Fling. The resulting video makes us feel all :( inside.
Hey, remember when that bloggy mommy whose daughter is a Penn grad student did that shocking exposé on how Penn is awful at tailgating? Ring any bells? Well Sandy Hingston is back and well on her way to establishing herself as the most out of touch Penn parent in all the interwebs. In the May issue of Philly Magazine, Hingston goes on an extended romp of crazy in her wannabe tell-all "The University of Pennsylvania Has a Drinking Problem."
Know Any Good Study Spaces?– We do. Happy finals to all!
Summer Under The Button Information Session Tomorrow– Come out to 4015 Walnut at 3 p.m. tomorrow (note the time change) to learn how to get involved with UTB over the next few months. We'll see you tomorrow!
Happy Hey Day, Juniors! And happy Gently Fade Into Nothingness Day, Seniors! (Freshmen and sophomores, do you even go here?)
Hey Juniors, Hey Day– This is a friendly reminder for all 2013'ers that today is the last day to pick up your Hey Day apparel for tomorrow. Shirts, hats and canes will be sold today until 6PM on the second floor of Houston outside the Office of Student Affairs. And remember, $35 is totally an appropriate amount to pay for a cheap t-shirt, cane, and styrofoam hat.
A recent Times Style feature details the– what else?– stylistic and political choices of Jeremy Bernard, the Obama administration's social planner, as he sets up the White House's upcoming state dinner. Who's among those 806 invitees? Oh, is it you, Amy? It is! Except Any Gutmann? Eh, silly typo. We'll let it slide this time. Take us as your date, Any! We make great conversation about blogs, Penn, cats and the Interwebs. Or if you don't want us to talk and just sit there and look pretty, we're really good at that too.
Fling may have died last weekend (and taken us down with it), but its spirit lives on in our pants. In our pant pockets. In our cell phones. Yup, the second annual Texts From Spring Fling is here, and it sounds like you crazy cats had a wonderful Fling– if we're to take these texts seriously (which we do).
John Legend took some time out of busy schedule to chat up with some old friends at his alma mater this morning. Check out this C'99 alum hanging out with Ben– so photogenic! We're hearing reports that Franklin provided the requisite beatbox for Legend's a cappella dubstep version of "Ordinary People." Quaint! We can't wait to hear it ourselves at the concert tonight.
Do you know how to read and write in a language (English preferred)? Did you score above a 600 in the critical reading portion of the SAT? Do you want to your name prominently displayed on the bloggiest of all Penn blogs? And, most importantly, do you want to see if you've got the skills– nay, the absolute chutzpah!– to be a contributor for Under the Button over the summer?
Txt Us, Plz– Got any hilarious texts from Spring Fling you'd like to share with the world? Send them in before midnight tonight and we'll post our favorites later this week. No names, please- only the text preceded by the area code it came from.
Spring Fling, that wino temptress from Brigadoon, descended upon our campus last weekend, and even if you don't remember what happened, we definitely do. In our first-ever Spring Fling photo contest, we received tons of flingy-flangy pics that ran the gamut of Fling activities. Some were great, others were not so great and some were Instagrammed. (Shame! Instagram is for cheaters!)
Au Revoir, Au Bon Pain– Many will pleased to hear that Au Bon Pain, purveyor of moonshine coffee (Is there really any other way to describe it?) and $7 containers filled with iceberg lettuce, will not be returning to Penn next semester, as the DP reports. The new cafés in Huntsman will open in August of this year. Here's to fair trade, local and sustainable food!
