Schmear It (Finally) Becoming Campus Food Truck!

Will Kung Fu Noodle Be The New Beijing?

Who are we kidding? Of course it won't! According to this colorful window ad, a new noodle place is opening up next to Kiwi and Wawa. Their liquor license is pending (prayers) and rumor has it they'll have hibachi. We hope this place opens soon so we never have to leave this strip of Chestnut Street. Kung Fu for dinner, Kiwi for dessert,  drunk eat at Wawa, and call in sick tomorrow.

Never Leave Huntsman. Order Food Online.

Polar Vortex. The last thing you want to do is leave the warmth and coziness of your beloved GSR.

Wharton On Jeopardy

“I’ll take free printing for $500.” On this recent episode of our favorite game show to pretend we'd totally win, our very own Wharton made a cameo. Personally, we think that Wharton is worth much more then a measly $800 , but on the plus side at least we can say that Wharton is climbing back up the social ladder. From rock bottom to Jeopardy. Not too shabby.

Why The Music Building Is The Best Building

Wah wah fall break over wah school. Wine not stop wine-ing and go grab a bottle? Heck, stop and smell the Rosé while you're at it. Then head over to the Music Building and drink to/with your new BFFs Chardonnay and Zinfandel. They'll never ditch you, nor will they judge if (when) you finish the entire bottle yourself. No wonder music majors always seem so happy!
