Bridget McGeehan | Opening up about my freshman year abortion
(09/19/22 12:29am)
I found out I was pregnant in a Starbucks bathroom, only a few weeks after starting my first year at Penn. I was 18, and I did everything to keep it a secret. Buying a test on campus risked fellow students seeing me, so I walked about 15 blocks downtown to the Rittenhouse CVS. After that, I headed into the Starbucks across the street, where I remained, hyperventilating, until my tears subsided enough to be able to walk outside again.

Sam Zou | Dear transfer students: don’t compare, explore
(06/04/22 9:03pm)
I’ve had my fair share of moving. The fact is, I have never stayed in one school for more than three years. I went to four different elementary schools. I spent my first semester of high school in China, but then suddenly decided to finish the rest of my high school career in the United States. I traveled to the U.S. all by myself at 14, starting my first day of school just hours after a 16-hour flight to a foreign place I’d never visited. At 18, I moved to California to attend UCLA. But perhaps the most unexpected move was transferring to Penn at the age of 20.

Varun Saraswathula | Psychedelics are redefining well-being; Penn needs to get involved
(04/26/22 11:28pm)
In 2016, a group of scientists out of Johns Hopkins University ran what was, at the time, a rather strange clinical trial. They gave doses of psilocybin, the psychoactive component in “magic mushrooms,” to 51 terminally ill cancer patients who underwent two “sessions” (i.e. administrations of the drug guided by a professional) over five weeks with a six-month follow-up. Most of the participants were “psychedelic naive,” or hadn’t used any psychedelic drugs in decades. The investigators were curious as to what psilocybin would do to a group of patients for whom death was on the horizon.
