Life Hack! Go Trick or Treating Now!

(02/28/20 5:48am)

Look, we all know how Halloween normally goes. You get into a shitty costume and show up at a few houses only to find that they only have apples and spinach left to give you. It doesn’t matter how early you go out, those rowdy preteens from down the block always beat you there. Well guess what: this year is your year. Get the jump on Halloween by going trick or treating now.




BREAKING: Penn Finally Brings Down the IAA, the Only Group on Campus That Does Hazing of Any Kind

(02/05/20 4:53pm)

Finally Penn has done something right! For years, student groups hazing their new members has been a scourge on this campus, ruining lives and organizations that were totally fine in every way otherwise. In the past, Penn has made many attempts to reel in this rampant issue but to no avail. Now, the Gutmann administration has finally solved this problem. 


OP-ED: Your Fraternity Would Have Been Lucky to Have Me

(02/06/20 6:41am)

They say saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do. Well, I’m sure it was just as hard for you to stop sliding those 3x5 invitations under my door sometime after Tuesday night. And I’m just as sure the fact that my profile picture at the Venice canal has ceased to appear on your projector slide night after night has left a longing in the hearts of your members. As for me? I’m doing just fine – in fact, better than fine. With bid day now just a memory, I see that pledge class you took, man-boys in ill-fitting ties, and think just one thing; your fraternity would be lucky to have me.




Yuck! This New Food Truck Tastes Like Cardboard

(11/20/19 4:42pm)

I love the food trucks here at Penn. Ever since my freshmen fall when someone told me to check out “that Mexican truck” and I discovered Don Memo’s, I have been hooked. It’s basically my new meal plan: I eat trucks 3 times a day. For breakfast I’m getting my sausage egg and cheese from Lyn’s, for lunch I’m hitting Can Thó City and getting a pork bahn mi, and for dinner I’m going to Hemo’s to guzzle a gallon of pure Hemo’s sauce. 


Accidentally Called Your Teacher Mom? Now She Gets To Spank You

(10/29/19 2:00pm)

We’ve all been there. You’re sitting in class a little zoned out and you have to ask the teacher something. Without even realizing, you make a classic mistake and accidentally call your teacher mom. Sure, it’s a little embarrassing, but the rest of the class will laugh it off shortly and you just gotta laugh along with them. It’s not a big deal really, after all, It’s just an innocent mistake.






So Do We Just Steal from Mark's Cafe Now?

(09/22/19 3:30pm)

I mean like…I thought stealing is bad but…is this what they want us to do? Was this the design plan? It really seems like Penn is just begging us to steal their food and coffee now. And look I mean...if Penn is so insistent... I guess I can take a few things off their hands. The first time I went to the new Mark's I didn’t even realize there was a cash register. Even now that I see it, I’m just confused; is it there for the aesthetic? Are they reminding us that we could pay if we wanted to? Why in the world would I not just grab my Sushi and Red Bull and walk away?


Take That! My Teachers Never Believed in Me, but I Just Got a Job at WilCaf, so Who's Laughing Now?

(04/25/19 2:55pm)

Ok I’ll admit it. Back in High School I wasn’t the greatest student. I slacked off sometimes, joked around in class a little bit, and smoked in the bathroom pretty much every day. I acknowledge these flaws, but I still worked my ass off to get where I am today. My teachers though — well they were all so negative. They told me I didn’t have the ability to succeed in life. I remember my history teacher told me that I wasn’t gonna get into college, my english teacher told me I would never get a job, and my french teacher told me something in French that I couldn’t really understand, but, based off his tone, it seemed like it was mean. 





This Desperate Guy Keeps Asking Me to Meet Up, Claims He's My 'Advisor'

(03/27/19 1:26pm)

Some people really can’t take a hint. This guy has been hitting me up non-stop for like two weeks now and it’s getting really sad. Every other day its “Hey you should stop by,” or “Hello you need to come into my office,” or the classic line “Jon – you need to schedule a meeting with me ASAP. If you fail to do so I will not remove your hold on Penn in touch and you will not be able to select classes for next semester." So cringey.
