I like to think of myself as an independent person. The idea of being independent used to make me feel strong, and it made me want to focus on being happy rather than being openly upset when I was upset, which usually made me the girl that never seemed sad. That wasn’t a terrible thing.

A week ago, Penn men's basketball struggled offensively and ultimately lost a sloppy, physical game at Princeton, 68-65, in overtime.

The competitive nature of Penn isn’t an exaggeration. It’s to be expected that a school renowned for producing the most billionaires in America would be full of students with the goal of making as much money as possible.
