Every Penn student complains of being overworked and stressed. There are rigorous classes and all the hours they entail, clubs and teams that require significant time commitments, friends to hang out with and parties to go to, places to explore and restaurants to try.

I spent a long time wondering what topic I should write on today. I found it very difficult to pick a stance on anything.

Just before spring break, I went to the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks basketball game on a trip sponsored by my dorm.

In high school, I used to participate in extemporaneous speaking. We were given a question on current events; something like, “How will Brexit impact the UK economy?” might be asked today.

For the last month, whenever someone has asked me, “What are you up to?” I’ve always given them the same reply: “I’m studying for the MCAT.” God only knows how many conversations I’ve defaulted to that lazy small talk.
Sitting for the MCAT is a notable event that many students study several months for.

I’m a big fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the collection of superhero movies including titles like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and The Avengers.

Electronic Device use in classrooms is hurting students
Standing at the front of any given classroom on Penn’s campus, you will see students diligently typing, presumably taking notes on whatever important topic the professor is discussing.

As a junior transfer student, I have the unique perspective of having gone to Vassar College, a small liberal arts school which is in many ways the polar opposite of Penn.
The joke I like to tell about Vassar is that “It’s a small liberal arts school, which is very small, very liberal and very artsy.” The entire Vassar student body is the size of one year at Penn.

I am a huge fan of League of Legends. For anyone not familiar, this game, abbreviated LoL, is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game where players work together in teams of five to destroy a series of enemy structures while preventing their five opponents from doing the same to their own base.

I’ve only recently recognized how dependent I am on slang. Words like “dope,” “fire,” or “swag” have replaced “awesome” in my vocabulary.

Recently I binge-watched the fifth season of Suits, a legal drama airing on USA Network. Suits has some realistic parts and some very unrealistic parts.
The simplest aspects of the show are true.

Bernie Sanders has dramatically outperformed the initial expectations for his campaign. After his near tie in Iowa and his huge win in New Hampshire, many prospective democratic voters are full on “Feeling the Bern.” His honesty, consistent liberal record and focus on big money’s corruption of politics resonate strongly with primary voters.
