What's HapPENNing?

It's somehow already the fourth week of classes, yet you're only just starting to get your shit together. We're right there with you, because it took us until now to crank out this semester's first What's HapPENNing? post. Without further ado, we present Fall '15's inaugural edition of your fave Monday feature, which includes five can't-miss events on campus, plus a Philly Pick of the Week (which will presumably take place off-campus).

U.S. Senator Mark Pryor at Penn

When? Tuesday, 7 p.m.

Where? SHDH 351

Why? What if he announces he's ALSO joining the presidential race? (Oh, and free Wishbone.)

Bring? Patience. The only people more annoying than Wharton kids with back-to-back info sessions are politically correct IR majors.

GradFest2015 Presents: Outdoor Movie Night

When? Tuesday, 8 p.m.

Where? Shoemaker Green

Why? We know we're not the only ones who wish we lived in the '50s. 

Bring? That dreamy fella Danny! We heard you two are going steady. 

JHP's PB&J-a-thon ft. Kweder

When? Thursday, 3 p.m.

Where? College Green

Why? PB&J sammies +  Kweder – sweaty Smoke's dance floor? The solution to that equation is something we wholeheartedly endorse.

Bring? Jif, in case they only have Skippy. Better yet, let's #tbt to this treat of yesteryear.

Free Law Admissions Seminar  

When? Thursday, 7 p.m. 

Where? Williams 321

Why? Paying for another four years of school is going to be a bitch, so we'll happily take free advice (and pizza!). 

Bring? Complaints! Your peers will love to hear that even though you're both applying to the same number of law schools, you're obviously more stressed than them. 

Sukkah + Origami + Ice Cream Sandwiches

When? Friday, 2 p.m.

Where? Hillel

Why? To revel in the hilarity that is Hillel taking advantage of us having no class because of the Pope's visit to host a Sukkot event. 

Bring? Glitter! Channel your inner second-grader and let your creative juices flow while decorating campus' sukkah.

Philly Pick of the Week

The Pope Crawl 2015

When? Saturday, 12 p.m.

Where? Citywide 

Why? To make those security checkpoints a li'l more fun! The police definitely won't consider your blackout self a threat. 

Bring? Rosary beads. Because if you think the best way to honor the Pope's arrival is by imbibing copious amounts of alcohol, then you need a prayer or two.
