Stop Complaining! Online School Means My Mom Packs My Lunch

OPINION | Alicia Lopez
Thu, Sep 3, 2020

My mom's lunch ensures that I will get at least two fruits and veggies, a sandwich (PB&J with the crusts cut off), a glass of milk, and two Oreos. With a wide variety of fruits and veggies including carrot sticks, celery sticks, apple slices, pear slices, peach slices, and strawberries, I'm consistently and dare I say eagerly left guessing what's for lunch.

OP-ED: Stop Reading the Hitler Statue Article

OPINION | Alicia Lopez Saturday, Aug. 1, 2020Sat, Aug 1, 2020

In my day, I’ve seen a thing or two. I know that when cottage cheese turns green you’re supposed to throw it out. In much the same way, I know that when an article is number one for too long, someone is manipulating page views on the UTB website.

Sad! Gutmann Unable to Take Pay Cut Due to University Policy

OPINION | Alicia Lopez Tuesday, July 28, 2020Tue, Jul 28, 2020

I brought Gutmann's salary up in an email to the Penn administration and they said I was "treading on thin ice and should stop my investigation". I thought that they were just trying to protect their enormous salaries and continued my search. It was then I found the tragic tale of a woman who is force-fed 4 million dollars every year.

OP-ED: The Housing Announcement Isn't Late

OPINION | Alicia Lopez Friday, July 17, 2020Fri, Jul 17, 2020

To those of you who thought you would have heard about housing by now, you simply didn't translate the University message properly. Penn, like many organizations, often uses a language called "Baseless Sentences," or as it is known to experts in the field of linguistics, BS.

OPINION | Kevin Xu Wednesday, April 15, 2020Wed, Apr 15, 2020

That girl from your chem class that had to get her eyes rinsed three times this semester? Definitely knows she deserves a B- at best. And for you, the one person in your class that actually gets your work done on time and perfectly crafts every essay and problem set despite being drunk or hungover the entire weekend? The coveted A+, reserved for only the worthiest of students.
