25 Ways To Make Home Feel Like Penn

We can't believe that Penn gives us a whole two days off for Thanksgiving Break. As much as we love reuniting with our loved ones over this long weekend, we also understand that living without a serial shitter can be a bit of a let down. Your heart fills with longing as your nose fills with the all-too-pleasant scent of a Glade candle. That's why we decided to bring you 25 ways to make your stay at home feel, well, a little bit more home-away-from-homey.

1. Wear flip flops in the shower!

2. Let your food sit for awhile to give it that stale, lukewarm Penn Dining taste!

3. Chug – don’t sip – wine at dinner.

4. Poor raw sugar into the wine to make it taste more like Franzia. Ask to "slap the bottle."

5. Cover the toilet seat with toilet paper.

6. Refer to your dining room as “Commons.”

7. Convince your sisters to follow you around to maintain that on-point ratio.

8. Dress up and wander around your neighborhood after 12am. Try to find out "what's going on."

9. Put some tampons outside your house and tell your high school friends to come meet you at The Tampons.

10. Try to swipe your PennCard to enter your bedroom.

11. Ask your mom to say “enjoy, baby” when she gives you food so that you feel like you’re swiping into Commons.

12. Ask for a to-go box as you eat Thanksgiving leftovers.

13. Refer to your father as your mother’s DFMO.

14. Tell your sister to leave her hair all over the shower walls.

15. Pour all of your beverages into a Brita filter.

16. Go to Chipotle and stand still for half an hour before ordering. Even if there isn't a line.

17. Put a Septa token into your car’s ignition before driving.

18. Read UTB on your laptop during family dinnertime as if it's a lecture.

19. Venmo Grandma 5 bucks for Thanksgiving dinner. Score!
20. Flyer for your club’s event in your house's driveway. Have your parents walk by and try to avoid your gaze.

21. Refuse to hang out with your BFF from high school because her house is as far away as DRL.

22. Try to schedule an appointment with your parents for some well-needed advice only to find out that they’re booked for the next month straight.

23. Accidentally sleep through your dog's office hours.

24. Replace your queen-sized bed with two extra-long twins and ask a complete stranger to live with you for 8 months.

25. Threaten to MERT your drunk uncle.
