I’d wager that more than half of the Penn student body either watched the presidential debate on Monday or at least kept track of it somehow.

In November, I urge members of the Penn community to vote for Hillary Clinton as the next president.
Public space is always around, which is maybe why we forget its potential for discourse. With larger growth in online spaces, social networking sites specifically, physical public space no longer holds tangible influence over us. Yet following the wide-scale flyer incident, then the homophobic preachers and their counter-protesters, we are reminded of the presence of human voices expressing opinions in the public sphere.

Why did I first want to take the monk class, back when I first heard about it in freshman year? It would be a fantastic way to get the cheekbones I’ve always wanted; I’ll be able to read the shit I definitely should have read by now (Ulysses, anyone?); I’ll finally have time to write and be super introspective and know my true self and I’m totes contemplative and everyone will think I’m badass and wise. Why do I want to take the monk class now? I don’t know. I have no idea what’s going to happen. That’s precisely the appeal.

If it took you a while to learn about the shooting near campus on Friday night, you might have been clued in by the whirr of the helicopter blades or by the Daily Pennsylvanian's news updates, or even by the email sent the following day by the administration.
This past Saturday, just before the start of Penn’s first home Varsity football game, two members of the Penn cheerleading squad “[made] a statement,” according to a photo tweeted out by the Penn athletics department.

I believe in God. I’m almost hesitant to start with that, because I know immediately many people will write me off.
A recent poll of Penn College Republicans reveals something we never would have expected. While a 60 percent majority of Republican students do not support Donald Trump, a surprising 40 percent of them answered that they support the controversial candidate. Many of us might have been confused to find out that so many of our fellow students support the Republican presidential nominee.
I dread waiting for the elevator in Penn’s high rise buildings almost as much as I dread the actual elevator ride itself. I dread standing in the awkwardly clustered group of people waiting for the elevators, all of whom make sure to maintain a certain distance from everyone around them and constantly look downward, faces buried in their phones.

Last Thursday, the two worst preachers in America showed up on Penn campus. As far as I could tell, they failed to convert a single student to the word of the lord.
To commemorate last week’s anniversary of September 11th, members of Occidental College’s Republican Club planted 2,997 American flags — one for each victim of the attack — on their campus green, all of which were later removed by student protesters.
As we enter the final two months of this chaotic election season, one question is still constantly asked of me as a supporter of Hillary Clinton: do you trust her?
Midterms loom, recruiting rages on. Winter cannot be far behind. Having been away from Penn for the last two years, I naturally couldn’t wait to get back and live the good life.
