This summer, my aunt and I went to Bradley Beach in New Jersey. On our way back from the steaming hot beach day, abbreviated by biting green flies and triple–digit heat index, we pulled into the parking lot of a Wawa. After a month and a half working and living in New York City, I wanted nothing more than to pull into the nondescript parking lot and order a grilled cheese on one of the grimy kiosks.

I remember the day I forgot the Nicene Creed. The space in my brain that once held the 32–line prayer had emptied at some point during my first semester of college. I was no longer used to reciting the statement of Christian beliefs every Sunday; a lack of practice begets a lack of memory. In the car ride home from church that day, I wondered: if I had forgotten the entirety of a prayer that listed the foundational truths of Catholicism, had I also forgotten how to pray?

An iconic part of my Chinese upbringing was watching my parents fold dumplings at the kitchen table. As a kid, seeing my mother transform meat, veggies, and dough into hundreds of delicately wrapped pouches with her hands was magical. I was lucky that I could eat them straight out of the pot whenever I wanted, and it wasn’t until college that I realized fresh Chinese food was something I took for granted.

Penn’s campus is full of memorable public sculptures. Who hasn’t taken a photo by the Love statue, or walked under Covenant—the official name for the tall red beams on Locust? Now, with a long–term loan from the Association for Public Art for 99 years, Penn's sculpture collection grows even bigger. The relocation of two large–scale, outdoor sculptures—Louise Nevelson’s Atmosphere and Environment XII (1970) and Sir Jacob Epstein’s Social Consciousness (1954)—began in mid–July. Atmosphere and Environment XII has been placed on Shoemaker Green, and the installation of Social Consciousness is well underway at the Memorial Garden Walkway.

In the world of modern dating, it seems like there are a plethora of ways to be involved with someone romantically without committing to a relationship: you can hook up exclusively, have a cuddle buddy, or have a friend with benefits. While many sexual interactions have the possibility of becoming something more, the friends with benefits status remains unique in the world of romance because the relationship doesn’t become anything more than just friends. Well, ideally, it doesn’t.

To say I’ve been waiting a long time for K’Far Cafe to open up is an understatement. Ever since it was announced that the CooknSolo duo behind Zahav and Goldie were opening a then–unnamed restaurant in November of 2018, I’ve been waiting patiently. But if we’re being technical, I’ve been waiting for decent Israeli pastry since I was a little kid begging my mom day after day to make borekas. The only decent Israeli food in Philadelphia for a long time was limited to hummus and falafel. Don’t get me wrong; I mean no disrespect to the honorable hummus and falafel, but I’ve been ready for something new for a while.

In the summer, when the textbooks are away, there's more time to read for pleasure. Luckily, there is no shortage of books to devour on Penn's campus. There are four bookstores on Penn’s campus, from the eclectic House of Our Own to the official Penn Bookstore. There is also the Penn Book Center, recently facing challenges as an independent bookseller, and Last Word Bookshop, a used book store with a resident cat. These stores each have their own unique personality, and very useful book recommendations.

Luckily, there is a way: bullet journaling. From Pinterest pages to Instagram accounts, artists and influencers have picked up on the trend. But as intimidating is it may seem, bullet journaling can be made accessible with a couple of pointers.

The 2020 presidential election is more than a year away, but that hasn't stopped me from religiously following news about the candidates from day one. A large number of Penn students—including me—will vote for presidency for the first time next November, and I'm already hyped to get to the ballot box. The next election is an important one for many reasons, but one that doesn't stick out as much as it should is the sheer number of women running for president.

Follow the bees. That's the first thing you should know if you decide to visit the brand new project put together by Penn’s School of Design in honor of the 50–year anniversary of landscape architect Ian McHarg’s 1969 ‘landmark book’ Design With Nature. The project is divided into three parts housed in close, yet different buildings on campus—some of which aren’t well–known to the average Penn student. Therefore, the entrance to each exhibit is covered with large, unmissable swarms of plastic bees, making it easy to find whichever one you’re looking for. Bees were specifically chosen as ornaments because they are symbolic in Rome—ornamental bees marked late Renaissance buildings owned by great patrons.
