Bui’s Lunch Truck is marking its 30th anniversary as the breakfast and lunch beacon for hungry Penn students. Nestled catty corner to Wawa, many Penn students pass Bui’s Food truck on a daily basis. But how many people actually know the person behind this famous food truck’s facade?
Well kiddos, I'm back. After back to back special issues that monopolized Sabrina's entire fall semester and almost killed the rest of us, here I am returning to my little text box to share some drivelous buffoonery.

Have you ever heard of the Faroe Islands? If not, “don’t feel bad,” Bjarni Rasmussen (W '22) reassures me and potential readers. “About one in every two hundred people actually know what it is.”

When she’s not doing operatic vocal warm ups in her dorm at 6 a.m. or hitting the gym for a workout class, you can catch Elle Winter (C '22), performing her newest single "One More" for loving fans or acting alongside big names like Naomi Watts, Elle Fanning, and Susan Sarandon.
Like most young ballerinas, Jacqueline Callahan loved The Nutcracker. “I did go to see The Nutcracker at the Pennsylvania Ballet,” Jackie said. “I think that that’s when I wanted to [start dancing].”
Look past the sweatshirts and baseball caps to find the real hidden gems.
These sports plays will teach you how to turn every decision a touchdown.
"AYE AYE GUNNERY SERGEANT!!" Justin screamed, explaining that phrases like these had been a part of his daily routine for the last two summers at the Marine Officer Candidate School (OCS). The commanding officers, he says, scream at you "at the highest level, bursting blood vessels in your face, giving you a headache." And you do the same in response.
Kaylee Slusser never thought she would join Greek Life. Now, she's the President of the leadership for all sororities at Penn. And it's not her presidential debut, formerly serving as the President of Mock Trial. You can catch this Anna Kendrick wannabe at Copa when she isn't at the OFSL office.
Upon first glance, he may seem like just your average dog–loving, saxophone–playing, aspiring BBB student, but Regan Mizrahi (C '22) is all of that and more.

It’s 11 o’clock on a Saturday morning. Near 44th and Spruce Streets at Honest Tom’s Taco Shop, hungry customers who just crawled out of their beds have already lined up by the counter to order themselves vegan food to start the morning. Behind the counter, chefs and waiters in the half–open kitchen are busy chopping vegetables, stir frying potatoes, and heating tortillas for today’s operation. Boxes of fruits and vegetables are delivered to the door. Tomatoes, beans, yams, carrots, and lentils—they are common vegetables, yet essential to Honest Tom’s Plant Based Taco Shop.
As a pre–med Whartonite and the president of the South Asia Society, Divya Rao has more than enough on her plate. But this week, she made some time in her busy schedule to sit down for a Street interview. She talked about her Copa obsession and what it is like to have 43 cousins.

At 3 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, Ivan Li (W,C '19) went straight from his Math 240 office hours at David Rittenhouse Laboratory (DRL) to his Street interview. Although our first interview location was unexpectedly occupied, Ivan quickly redirected us to a stairway that leads to the upper floor.

My favorite sound used to be the flutter of tiles changing on the arrivals board inside 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. The split–flap display is old–fashioned, true, and it can't help but bring bad news of the trains’ inevitable delays.
