Every year, there are a few students who apply to and are accepted by all eight Ivy League schools. This year, it seems like all of those students are choosing to go somewhere other than Penn.
The story is becoming all too familiar. A student struggles with symptoms of anxiety and restlessness because of academic and personal stress. They make an appointment at Counseling and Psychological Services or a local clinic, only to be told that they most likely have a much more serious, underlying mood condition, like bipolar disorder or major depression. The student is subsequently handed a prescription and sent on their merry way.
Hailee Steinfeld, Tom Wilkinson, Eddie Izzard, Jason Ritter. It’s the kind of Hollywood cast that makes an independent film stand out from the crowd, and it’s the cast of “Carrie Pilby,” an upcoming film adapted from a book with a cult following written by 1993 College graduate Caren Lissner.
It may not be the Grammys, but mtvU’s Woodie Awards — where college students are invited to vote on their favorite music — are gaining a reputation as one of the hottest music award shows for up-and-coming artists. This year, the Woodies will take place on March 20 in Austin and will feature nominees from well-known artists like Sam Smith and Charlie XCX, as well as lesser-known groups like Bad Suns and Childish Gambino.
In Fall 2013, admissions' hottest recruit was not a basketball star or a math genius, but 18-year-old poet Peter LaBerge.
Sybrina Fulton is not a household name. But her son, Trayvon Martin, certainly is.
No, not the world-famous DJ with the superhuman ability to both see and function in a stadium full of gyrating teens while wearing a giant mouse head. Did you really think we'd forget the 5, silly? One unlucky student felt something on her foot in Houston and was horrified to find this real live dead maus hanging out under her table. Judging by its extreme level of deadness, this lil guy either died in 1858 or accidentally ate some Houston sushi.

SEPTA is willing to pay the price to attract college students and young professionals to Philadelphia.
S o me time around the last Olympics, I sat around, pretended to be knowledgeable about sports and saw a mini-documentary on Maria Sharapova. There was a reel of tape I couldn’t get out of my head of Maria winning the Wimbledon: Her racket arched upward, the ball sailing in a perfect palabora, Maria punching the air. The announcer boomed over the scene, “How does it feel to have accomplished your life’s dream when you’re 17?”
The scene opens with Bruce Willis talking — in his role as John McClane — to a group of thugs. Things quickly get heated in “Live Free or Die Hard,” and in less than 17 seconds he shoots three men in the head, spraying blood everywhere.
As of Oct. 20, Philadelphians caught with small amounts of marijuana will only be fined $25 as far as the city is concerned .
“D ear white people, the minimum requirement of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Sorry, but your weed man, Tyrone, does not count.”
It's all noise.
Yo, if you haven't heard, Mayor Nutter is slated to sign a bill that'll decriminalize marijuana. The bad news? Penn could give a dusty fuck. Because as this PhillyMag article (ugh) points out, campus administration will be maintaining its disciplinary policies regardless.

“All About That Bass” is a cute tune by 20 year-old Meghan Trainor : poppy, infectious and full of feel-good vibes. In the song, Trainor encourages bigger women to embrace their curves and see themselves as beautiful, despite the constant societal messages telling them otherwise.
“You can say many things about Hamas. But to their immense credit ... they made one thing very clear — there would be no end to the war until Israel promised to lift the siege of Gaza.”
S i tt ing in the College offi ce over a year ago after a week of hospitalization was uncomfortable at best. I could begin to feel the weight of the terrible situation I was in. Missing the last week of classes meant that half of my courses could not be completed because finals had to be in on time, no excuses. But I could always withdraw, right? Surely, I could fix this one.
