Just because we attend a world-class university does not mean that we are shielded from the horrors of the opioid crisis.

We need to incorporate the act of reading into our daily routine. Even reading one or two full-length articles from a fairly reputable newspaper or reading a chapter of a book can make a difference.

The extent to which high school, college, and graduate students depend on Khan Academy tells us how lackluster some of their more conventional resources tend to be.

There's a balance you need to strike: don't completely dismiss what your loved ones have to say, but don't change simply to fit their needs.

We can make the choice to remain politically unaware. At the end of the day, that only serves to emphasize our privilege. People think they can afford to be incognizant of worldly matters if those matters don’t pertain to them directly, but to do that is the ultimate act of selfishness.

Even though my bout with burnout only lasted around two and a half weeks, it was definitely one of the more unpleasant aspects of my college experience thus far.

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.

With a balancing act like no other, it becomes exceedingly difficult for student-athletes at Penn to perform well without forgoing their physical and mental health.

For many Penn students, New York often seems the only possible destination after graduation. You might think you need to do whatever it takes to make it there.

The fall semester is just about to end and a lot has happened that has left lasting impressions and changes on this campus.
