Sophia DuRose | Think about what your resume means, not how it sounds

By Sophia DuRose · July 18, 2018

I shouldn’t have to come up with creative ways to word “camp counselor” in order to sound more accomplished on my resume — a resume that proudly boasts working with kids at a job that is demanding and satisfying should be enough. This philosophy applies to many situations, and I think we as students need to stop focusing so narrowly on creating resumes hopped up on steroids.

Jennifer Lee | Why do soccer players cry so much?

By Jennifer Lee · July 6, 2018

The international popularity and historical significance of soccer might be hints that US should join the soccer craze soon. Although the US was not a part of this World Cup, Americans should still support the international teams of their heritage or choice on television.

By Pearl Liu · July 4, 2018

Deciding to study what we enjoy can be intellectually freeing, but enjoyment doesn't always help us decide what to study. We may enjoy a lot of subjects, we won’t enjoy every moment of any subject, and often our enjoyment of a subject grows with an investment of time and effort.

By Leila Ashtaryeh · June 30, 2018

If I really cared about someone and had a deep emotional connection with them, why would I feel the need to appear as if I didn’t care?

Alex Silberzweig | School spirit at Penn is severely lacking

By Alex Silberzweig · June 27, 2018

The Ivy League was formed as an East Coast football association. Nothing more, nothing less. That would make you think that the pride we take in our sports teams would be off the charts. That’s not the case at all.

Sophia DuRose | Don't idolize celebrities that stay silent on social issues

By Sophia DuRose · June 25, 2018

I would give anything in the world to have 110 million people follow me on any one of my social media accounts, because it would give me a ridiculously easy way to be heard. To me, it is wrong to have a listening audience, but nothing to say, especially in today’s tumultuous political environment.

Sophia DuRose | Why Pottruck should have an all-female level

By Sophia DuRose · June 14, 2018

Walking on a treadmill shouldn’t elicit a derisive remark from a fellow gym-goer, yet more than once a man has approached me and said something akin to, “You call that running?” No matter how hard I try to convince myself that embarrassment shouldn’t be the go-to reaction, I walk away from the gym trying to hide my reddening cheeks.

Jennifer Lee | The Eagles’ disinvitation from the White House isn’t a big deal

By Jennifer Lee · June 12, 2018

Trump’s disinvitation of the Eagles is likely one of the firsts in many cancellations to come. As more players join the national anthem protest, we should definitely expect to see more NFL teams turned away by the White House. But luckily for us, Trump does not have much say in football.

Jennifer Lee | My experience with Penn's flawed testing policies

By Jennifer Lee · June 11, 2018

Entering exams with full health will prevent uncomfortable exam conditions for other students and also give rise to much better test results.
