Penn performance groups have been producing videos and photos to promote their work since the dawn of time, and have thankfully come a long way since the first low–quality, wavy videos produced by Penn Masala in 2007. A cappella, theater and dance groups at Penn now produce numerous flashy, tight, well–choreographed and well–produced videos multiple times a year to promote upcoming shows and events.

Plenty Cafe is the epitome of hipster chic—the perfect camouflage for your disheveled, hungover aesthetic. The Pancetta Hash Sandwich ($10) is everything you dreamed about in your drunken haze and more. It may not be ideal for those hesitant to take a less–than–sexy bite, but let’s be honest, odds are you’re in sweats and wearing sunglasses inside, anyways. To sober up, nothing beats sinking your teeth into perfectly toasted, warm ciabatta. The bread provided an excellent sponge for the oozing yolks of two soft poached eggs and bacon grease. Served with refreshing side salad and watermelon, Plenty Cafe’s Pancetta Hash Sandwich is the ultimate hangover meal in a relaxing atmosphere (if you can make it there).

Check out this short list of exhibits and shows in the city (many of which are close, some of which are free and some of which are not–so–free).

I really did not see this coming. This semester was just too busy and too fun for me to sit down and make plans for the future. With the endless readings, volunteer hours, rehearsals, meetings, packing, papers, general cramming, end-of-year BYOs and tearful (and drunken) goodbyes that comes with junior year, I forgot that people actually do things over the summer. As a result, it is May 30th, and I am still applying for internships that begin on June 1st.
