Two young lovers avoid the hectic bustle of Miami and the blistering heat of Mexico by chilling on the banks of our very own Schuylkill. Nothing like the smell of industrial waste to get you in the mood.
Homeless Starbucks--Not to worry caffeine addicts! Though the Starbucks under Commons is closed until three today, you can still get your fix, and a free bag of coffee, at a makeshift shop set up on the second floor.
If Penn Backhanded Compliments and Penn Admirers had a rebellious love child, it would be Penn Hookups. This latest Facebook friend you can't resist accepting wants all the steamy, laughable, and disturbing details from your campus bedroom romps. Be them hookups so good you can't help bragging about, or failures so embarrassing they can only be spoken of anonymously, Penn Hookups wants them all.
Every so often there comes along a man who makes a real impact on the world, and we are lucky enough to count this one, Mark Pincus. After graduation from Wharton in '88, Pincus began a career on in venture capital and finance (obviously) before deciding to screw it all and start a company of his own, and thank god he did.
Just a few days ago, a History of Globalization class received the saddest email ever from one extremely distressed classmate. After breaking his nose that morning and landing himself in the hospital, this kid's only wish was to have not missed a pop quiz. Our tragic hero refused to sit idly by and emailed the class listserv, only to discover that the feared pop quiz had in fact occurred. At least your day didn't suck this much. Feel better pal. Maybe this will help.
The physics masterminds who brought you "undoing coffee rings," are back with another coffee ring-based research bonanza that's sure to cause a stir. If you thought you didn't care about how to get rid of them (hint: sponge), just wait until you learn about how they are formed!
Desperate for cash? Drew certainly was, or perhaps he was just pissed his dad gave him a book for Christmas. Either way, this sad remnant of Christmas past was sold used in the Penn Bookstore…twice. Talk about re-gifting.
Hurrah! Hurrah! The day we’ve all been waiting for has finally arrived. Our visionary, revolutionary, God-replacing founder turns a dashing 306. Let’s raise a glass to the man whose wisdom lies beneath our feet and adorns the end of every “Why Penn?” essay. Let’s thank the guy who loved freedom almost as much as he loved the ladies.
For five brief, beautiful years between 1908 and 1913, the Freshmen and Sophomore classes would face off every October and prove their manliness by grabbing onto a giant inflatable ball. The rules and scoring of the Penn Push Ball Fight (clever) varied every year, but the basic gist remained the same: Form a crowd and push a ball on top of each other. Shockingly, general boredom and the fact the we had to import our balls from Penn State resulted in the Push Ball Fight being replaced by the fan favorite, Flour Rush. We just can't make these things up...
In the spirit of reading days coming to an end (or are they just beginning?), we thought we'd provide you with another thing to look at while you procrastinate away the 48 hours you have left to cram a semester's worth of material into your head (move over, Buzzfeed). So, without further ado, the seven things longer than reading days...
Spotted! Hordes of children (Class of 2027) descending upon Penn to frolic atop the Button. Now isn't that just adorable! (as is this) We wonder if this is their parents' way of preparing them for the 'the talk.'
Sputtering through Spanish? Frantic about French? Hopefully this magical spot on the seventh floor can help you out. We've always thought Williams was whimsical. Try this for whimsical.
For those avid UTB readers out there, you might remember a post from last year about a group of Engineers who were fed up with doing the business students' grunt work and decided to fight back the only way they knew how...with their computers. Whartonite Seeks Code Monkey was created to put those tech-challenged Wharton students back in their place (the much more conveniently located Huntsman Hall) and glorify in their electronically based superiority, as Wharton students had the tendency to take the recognition for their tech-y startups that the engineers did most of the coding for.
Some good news for our balding brethren! As reported by GQ, a new study headed by Dr Albert Mannes of Wharton, who bares a shiny head himself (shocking), has concluded that bald men are seen as more dominant, masculine, and leader-y than their fuzzy headed counterparts. How pacifying. That's one way to "cover up" premature hair loss. More like that's one way to get rid of that Penn hat collection you hoarded in the '90s.
