Girl Who Hands out Last DP Copy Can Finally Die

(03/15/19 3:30pm)

It was quite the scene earlier this week on Locust Walk, as an interesting spectacle unfolded on the compass. As usual, there was a student attempting to hand out copies of the Daily Pennsylvanian to passerby. With each person that passed, College sophomore Sophia Arias extended a sad hand with a copy of a drooping paper, her eyes pleading that someone complete the gesture. As is the life of a DP employee though, she was only met with disappointment.  


Dear Malia Obama: Forget That Lame Shit, Let's Do Fireball Shots

(02/20/19 3:30pm)

Earlier this week, The Daily Mail ran a story showing Malia Obama Drinking an “$80 bottle of wine” at a Miami beach pool party. Photos in the article showcase the eldest Obama daughter lounging about in a towel and black one-piece swimsuit, drinking wine with a close few friends. This has brought about a mixed response from the public: many are outraged that she is drinking underage while many call it an invasion of privacy.

(02/21/19 4:28am)

You’re with your cute date at a happy hour – or maybe a date night. Who remembers? Things have gone well so far. You’ve made a couple funny jokes, bought yourself a few drinks, and almost touched hands while sitting in the Uber. You’re hoping they’ll invite you over (you haven’t done laundry since you moved out of the quad), but you know one thing for sure: no matter what happens, you will not be getting hard tonight. Here are five mixed drinks that scream “I am physically incapable of having an erection.”



As a FNAR Major, I Take My Dick Pics In Portrait Mode

(02/08/19 5:23am)

FNAR. That’s fine arts major for all you uncultured plebs, and you better believe what I’m packing is fine. I’ve always had an artistic eye. I can take the mundane and make it beautiful, draw meaning out of seemingly nothing, create a sense of awe whenever I want – and that’s exactly what I’m doing when I take pictures of my dick. 




This Year I'm Keeping With My New Years Resolution Of Not Jacking Off In Van Pelt

(01/27/19 2:38pm)

Every year during new years, millions of people decide on bullshit ways to better themselves. Losing weight? No thanks. Eating healthy? Yeah, good luck with that. Being a “nicer person”? Who even are you? Those resolutions are stupid and tame, but this year, I’m going after the big one. In 2019, I will resist the ultimate temptation: I’m not gonna jerk off in Van Pelt anymore. 





Student Thought to be Studying Abroad Actually On Campus, Just Really Into RuneScape

(12/04/18 1:24am)

For two months now, the public was under the impression that Engineering junior David James has been studying abroad in Zurich, Switzerland. Saying goodbye to his family and friends, James embarked on his journey, eager to embrace a new culture and get out of the Penn bubble. Recent reports, however, have shed new light on this situation. 



We Got Him: Dean Furda is George Lopez

(11/28/18 9:31am)

Alright everyone, let me ask you this: where has George Lopez been? We all loved the George Lopez show — goddamn that theme song was incredible — but it went off the air in 2007. Are we really to believe that George Lopez, triple threat entertainer and perennial Oscar snub, has done nothing since then? Yes, he did that weird talk show thing, but I think it’s better for everyone if we just pretend that didn’t happen. 





OP-ED: I'll Eat Mold If It Gets Me a Room at the Inn At Penn

(10/30/18 1:55am)

When I applied to Penn, I made sure to put the Quad as my top housing priority. Everyone told me things like, “Oh it's so social—you’ll love your hall,” and like, “Oh it’s the real college experience—it's so traditional.” You know, I really believed them. Opening up the housing form and seeing the word "Ware" emblazoned on the screen: well, for the first time in a long time, I was happy.
