The Schuylkill Center Environmental Art Program shows us that the final resting place for a piece of art doesn’t have to be in the inside of a museum. Instead, it shows us that art not only can
art exist outdoors, but also that art can connect us to the
environment. For those unfamiliar with what exactly “environmental art” entails, it generally takes the form of outdoor sculpture. Often it either interacts directly with, or is made from, living material, and its subject matter or focus is usually geared towards representing and facilitating discussion of environmental issues.

The new indie film, Carrie Pilby, is a Penn–centric affair. Based off the Penn alumna Caren Lissner's (C'93) best selling 2003 novel, and starring Penn alumna Vanessa Bayer (C'04), the film will win over Penn students with its charm and relatability. Though the film will be showing in theaters all along the East Coast starting on March 31st, Penn students have the chance to catch the film a week earlier at The Women's Film Festival this weekend in Center City. Billed as the centerpiece film, Carrie Pilby will be playing at 10 pm on Saturday, March 18th. at The Black Box Theater. Tickets will be eight dollars with a student ID (check out the event here).

It’s no secret that drugs alter the chemistry of our brains, but what about our bodies?

The letters BDSM inspire cultish images of dark masks, steely handcuffs and twisted leather whips. Penn’s BDSM enthusiasts, however, would argue the opposite––instead of a black–and–white preference, BDSM is much more of a spectrum. Kylie* (C'18) shares some insight into the nature of what people associate with BDSM or being kinky in general: “There’s definitely a stigma where like it’s either gross or weird whatever. But to me BDSM can range from anything from really rough sex to lightly pulling hair and choking, to like gagging dominant/submissive dynamic thing.”

The Resource Exchange, an environmentally conscious art supply store, is a place of forgotten things: vintage film cameras, trays of dusty beads pinched from once beautiful necklaces, scraps of bright, colorful fabric snipped from the ends of used rolls. Walking through the organized chaos of The Exchange, the rows of half–used canvasses and large, intimidating movie set pieces give the feel of an eclectic vintage flea market. But The Exchange isn't the final resting place for these items. Instead, it’s a stepping stone. Self–described as a “creative reuse center,” the store gives these items new life and repurposes them into something else entirely.

We
all have that friend who thinks they've come up with the next big start–up. Whether it’s an eco–friendly LED light–installation company, a new
on–demand coding and scripting platform or an automatic queso–maker (Ed. note: Someone please invent that), the Weiss Tech House Innovation Fund ought to
be their next stop.

"It's a secret diner," Amanda Prager (C’18) says as she marches down 40th Street. “It’s like a real fucking diner, ya know?”

My younger brother, a high school senior, is applying to Penn. His college process reminds me of my own—the stress, the helicopter parents and even the same application prompt ("Why Penn?"). But despite the parallels, his application is fundamentally different from mine. When Penn asks him his intended major, he'll check the "Economics" box, while I checked “Undecided.”
