ATLANTA — Walking across the pool deck after placing fifth in the 200-yard freestyle finals, Penn swimmer Lia Thomas glanced up at the stands and smiled at her supporters, who were holding a transgender flag.

The fabled twin telepathy — the idea that a set of twins just knows what’s going on with the other one — is a common perception about twins. Disney Channel even made twin telepathy the focal point of "The Suite Life Movie."
Before coming to Penn, I was beyond excited to finally live in a truly cosmopolitan and metropolitan city, in spite of a slew of comments from people that Philadelphia is a gritty and rough city. I largely ignored these comments, but after a short time here, I quickly realized that many students feel similarly. A lot of people remark that Philadelphia's no New York or Boston. I only got here last August, yet I completely agree. Of course, this city is no New York or Boston. It's uniquely Philadelphia.

Thirty seconds.
I wouldn’t say I believe in the basketball gods, but it was hard not to feel a divine presence in the Palestra Saturday afternoon.
For many of us, the decision to attend Penn is a choice which forces us to forgo easy access to a serious relationship in college. The “Social Ivy,'' with all of its many charms, is known for building professional repertoires, not romantic ones. Its prolific hookup culture was covered in an all-encompassing exposé in The New York Times back in 2013, “Sex on Campus: She Can Play That Game, Too,” which, despite the nine years that have passed since its publication, could have been written yesterday. The piece focused on anecdotes from 60 interviews of female Penn students, offering a grim outlook on the prospects of long term relationships at Penn.

My stepdad, a ‘75 Yalie and physicist, jokes that he was admitted as a part of the University’s “geek quota.” He was a high school student whose idea of playing hooky was playing with lasers in his friend’s basement. He wasn’t wealthy or suave. He once went to a mixer at Yale wearing hip hugging, hot pink bell bottoms and seriously questioned why not a single woman would dance with him. His family broke the bank paying for him to attend an Ivy at a time when they were considered exclusively for the rich, and he is eternally grateful for it.
When Wharton professor Nina Strohminger asked undergraduate business students what they thought the average American worker’s salary was, her students had no idea their answers would be the subject of a viral conversation about privilege, income inequality, and elitism.

Students in the Class of 2025 who attended high school with many other Penn first years said the familiarity eased the transition to the University, while those from less-represented high schools reported apprehension.
This is a unique year for Penn basketball. The Ivy League was the only league that did not compete last year because of the health risks surrounding COVID-19. Partly because of that hiatus, we have a team that only has a few players with any real college basketball experience at Penn. The rest of the team — whether it be sophomores who missed their first season, players who have not played because of injury, or this year’s first-year class, new to college basketball like any year — has no experience. With that year off, our student-athletes were left to react remotely and in isolation from the rest of our team to the protests that arose from the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, Walter Wallace, among many others, as well as incidents like that in Central Park with Amy Cooper telling Christian Cooper she was going to weaponize the police against him.
With two classes of rookies, plus an additional year of graduate students returning to play, the vastly varying makeup of rosters presented unordinary opportunities for many Penn athletes — another result of the unique circumstances for sports competition in 2021.
