With finals wrapping up, many summer opportunities canceled, and stay-at-home orders largely still intact, many students find themselves with extra time on their hands.

Today’s conservative political climate has birthed an abundance of student activism on college campuses nationwide. This, in tandem with the 21st century’s surge in technological advances, has placed social media at center stage in a national conversation on the future of progressive politics. Most recently, this conversation involved former President Barack Obama, who criticized the prevalent “call-out culture” and “wokeness” for being ineffective and denounced social media’s perpetuation of both as destroying civil discourse and impeding social change.
As Philadelphia's local election day approaches, it is crucial that students at Penn, where civic engagement is touted as being “central to the intellectual experience,” acknowledge the importance of voting, and not let feelings of despair and hopelessness about the current state of our country scare us away from the polls.
Two years ago, I wrote a feature for my high school’s newspaper on vaping — society’s latest trend because of its “harmless yet effective way to feel good,” according to my interviewees. Such statements were adopted almost verbatim from the e-cigarette industry’s marketing campaign, which advertised e-cigarettes as a “totally safe” alternative to real cigarettes.
When Penn announced last semester that campus-favorite restaurant Tortas Frontera would close in mid-May, few expected its replacement to look like the frozen section of a local grocery store. Even fewer expected Mark’s Cafe immediately to follow suit, especially considering most students weren’t made aware of this decision until The Daily Pennsylvanian reported on it a few weeks ago — just days before the renovation. And yet, over the past week, both establishments were replaced by “micro markets” which offer an assortment of snacks and pre-packaged foods. In an apparent attempt to respond to the high demand for longer dining hours, Penn has taken the easy and ethically flawed way out: eliminating human interaction by replacing staff with self-checkout kiosks.
Recent studies have uncovered a nationwide trend of college campuses constructing and renovating buildings in order to attain the ultimate high-tech facilities, despite growing stress on their financial budgets. Penn, with its four large construction projects — the Penn Museum, the Penn Medicine Pavilion, the Wharton Academic Research Building, and most infamously, New College House West, fits right into this trend.
As we approach the last day of classes, conversations around campus are shifting from final exams and projects to summer plans — be they family vacations, spontaneous road trips with friends, internships, or jobs.
