Whoops, looks like the Friday part of this post has already escaped us. We hope you spent it in the sunshine. As for the rest of your weekend, we know finals are coming up. But if you need a study break, we have one recommendation, and one only:
As the Google Doodle hath warned us, today (was) Earth Day, on which we customarily respect the planet and its non-human inhabitants. In case you haven't yet celebrated, here are some suggestions.
We are deeply saddened to report that 68-year-old Don Ly, owner and operator of the 34th and Walnut fruit cart, was fatally stabbed early this morning while loading up his cart in South Philadelphia. The DP reports that the motive for the stabbing is currently unknown.
It's the weekend, it's TIME TO SHIII-II-IIINE, capture the future, together, etc. Aside from the extravaganzapalooza happening at our very own Penn Park, there's lots of other great stuff in your city this weekend.
It's that awkward limbo time between Fling and finals. Might as well not spend it comatose/destitute/in VP!
Try to think back, before your headache and irritable stomach, before the substances and barbecue that made them thus, before you even donned your Fl1nG T4NK on Friday. On Thursday, UTB gave you some homework. Now we're collecting it.
When you were in elementary school, did you participate in the Flat Stanley Project?
UTB originally thought this cloud, which floated ominously by campus yesterday afternoon, was colored powder from the Holi event on College Green. But it just looked so SMOKE-y, and was definitely coming from the wrong direction, so while the PPD has confirmed they don't have any records of a fire in the area, we're waiting on other confirmation. Stay tuned as we keep you posted on this cloud's real deal.
Good lord, it is a beautiful day! Spring in Philadelphia means festivals, baseball, water ice and a quick and terrifying change in temperature and humidity. Ahh, humidity. Smell it in the air.
Remember that movie Pleasantville, where Reese Witherspoon and Tobey Maguire got sucked into that television and their lives became black and white? Well that's the opposite of what's happening tomorrow, when Penn will be so loaded with color that you'll have to desaturate your Instagrams. Chi Omega will be holding their annual Color Wars on Rodin Field, a field day extravaganza whose profits go to the Make A Wish Foundation. SIMULTANEOUSLY, Class Boards from all 4 classes will be holding Holi: A Festival of Color on College Green.
Birds chirping, flowers blooming, and all this glorious sunshine infiltrating our confused eyes can only mean one thing: IT'S SPRANG, YOU GUYS!
Advance Registration and Bursar End, like, now. Transfer all those cart-classes to requests and those dollaz to PennCash, stat!
While other musical aspects of your day may be potentially tumultuous, here's something we can all agree on: It's officially been 25 years to the day (after) Philadelphians Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff released the seminal "He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper," including none other than The Fresh Prince of Bel Air Theme Song. You know, the one that makes all the Brits freak out, and which is so relevant to our daily live in wwwwWWEST Philadelphia?
Another weekend, another set of wondrous and wacky Philly happenings!
Big Penn Fencing Win Penn Junior Mike Mills just won the NCAA fencing championship in the saber division! It's too soon for an ESPN link, but the Wikipedia page is ON IT. Congrats, Mike!
Now that it's Spring (statistically speaking,) we must all lift the iron curtain of hibernation and leave our cozy Rosengarten carrels for the light of a SEPTA stop. Go off campus, baby!
Did you vote yet? Today's your last day. You can't complain about student government until you do, so get to it before 5 PM!
Spotted in Williams, a passive aggressive response saying the tampons have been out of order "since the dawn of time." The feminist in us says that everyone has a bad day sometimes, but, realistically, she was probably on her period. No word on the status of Williams' tampons before the dawn of time. Maybe these guys know.
St. Paddy's has come and gone; your head is a pain-bundle, your one green shirt is ruined. Here's Monday, with its snow/sleet combo, to kick you in the shins. But fear not! There's lots of great Penn things this week, so turn those lemons into yellow Gatorade and get back in the game!
The weekend is here, and with temperatures still a lil' chillier than our brain-clocks would prefer, here are some mostly indoor ideas for your metropolitan weekend. Friday: Eastern State Penetentiary is free today. It's a historic/haunted prison, so take that chick from your history honors seminar. You can squeal and hold each other in the darkness. At The Rotunda tonight, there's a free concert by musicians that the New York Times calls "deft and boomy, ragged and precise.” What does that mean? Whatever! Free concert! Saturday: The American Swedish Historical Society is holding a Waffle Day Celebration. 10 dollars per person for all-you-can-eat waffles. Eat away your pain/stress/sadness thanks to The Swedes: truly a clutch cultural group since the 1600s. Sunday: Our friends over at Uwishunu have made such a good Philly St. Patrick's Day Guide that we are not worthy of attempting to replicate it! Check it out here. It's also Poetry Night at Seeds Gallery in West Philly, so shake off the drunkies and break out your snapping fingers for a good old-fashioned community open-mic.
