This week I joined the long, long list of people that fell in love with La La Land. I wandered into the Rave with a friend, equipped with the water bottle I always sneak into theaters. (Seriously, who would ever pay five dollars for a water bottle? Water is a basic human right, dammit.) I expected to poke holes in the movie—I'd been warned that the film was deeply flawed, or boring, too long, overrated.

I’m cutting the Round Up. Bear with me.

Sweetgreen was closed for renovations for roughly a week and a half at the beginning of this semester. I complained for two weeks. When I went last night and the line was long, I complained louder. And don't forget the car alarm going off on Locust late last night—I woke up complaining. My very first words this morning were, "I don't deserve this." I start every conversation with some kind of grumble: I'm too warm, I'm not warm enough, I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, I have so much work, and did I mention that my shower ran cold today?

I had a column in my high school newspaper called "Oh Really." For those of you that don't yet know me, the title was a shameless pun on my name. For those of you that do know me, I'm sure you're adding this particular new tidbit of information to your bank of embarrassing Orly facts.

I have a theory about being a third child: either you’re quiet or you make yourself heard. I grew up as the youngest of three girls. I was always talked over at the dinner table. I was always shoved into the middle seat. My opinions were stupid and insignificant, because I was little and I didn’t know things yet.

There are many instances in which silence is good. Preferred, even. On a quiet beach, with no sound but the waves. Or else a forest, interrupted only by the hum of nature.

Pies are the most classic of all desserts. But for some strange reason, they’ve never gotten the fashionable remodel that other desserts have (I’m looking at you, cronut, you overrated, pompous hybrid). I may be one of the few pie–thusiasts out there, and I can’t accept that. Am I really the only one who, as a little girl, daydreamed about her wedding, complete with a wedding pie? And mini wedding pies for party favors? Pies deserve more recognition, and with Philly’s crop of bakeries serving up wedges of perfection, they’re about to get it.

Dim light bathes the room—it’s hard to tell whether the wood is dark and varnished, or simply catching a shadow. Glasses filled with liquor are exchanged between patrons and bartenders, accompanied by the soft murmur of conversation. It could almost be a medieval pub, with customers nursing their beers and crests displayed on every available surface, emblazoned with the words, “Leges sine moribus vanae.”

I’m the one who needs her phone to calculate tip. I’m the one who dropped MATH–103 after the first day. And while it wasn’t necessarily me who received an A on an incomplete math project in high school, a grade given by a teacher too frustrated to continue watching me use Excel.... It was me, and I’m not ashamed. Or at least, I wasn’t.

Why spend money to be surrounded by sweaty crowds and marijuana clouds when you can enjoy a concert in your bed, surrounded by pillows (and marijuana clouds, if that’s your thing). That’s right, concert movies are the lazy man’s way of enjoying music. And since we doubt you’ll be able to move come the actual Fling concert, we’ve assembled a list of our favorite concert movies for you to enjoy.

My first semester was unremarkable. Not exactly unpleasant, but definitely not the experience I had in mind. The Penn community is huge; I needed to be a part of a group that was narrowed down, tailored to fit my goals and values. I had high hopes for rush and sorority life. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself swarmed by the bright pink hats of Alpha Chi Omega on Bid Night. My bid from AXO promised a more vibrant second semester, during which I could meet the girls that could make Penn feel more like home instead of a temporary arrangement.

I’m somewhat of a foodie minority. I
hate sandwiches. I hate bacon. However,
the first words out of my mouth after
trying the snack bacon ($7) at William
Street Common were, “Holy shit, this is
so good.”

Augie Bernstein’s voice rises with excitement. “What happens when you get cinema students in a room together? What happens when you have these meetings when we’re all just hanging out, talking about film, in a pre–professional setting?”

The room glows orange, illuminated by the blush of street lamps outside. Everything is dark, unmoving. The yoga class lies still, dazed by the waft of musky sweat and blurry-eyed from meditation. In a moment, everyone is ready for the closing sequence. Some listen to their teacher and her soft whisperings of inner peace and universal tranquility. Eyes are firmly shut or wandering, hands lie soft or restlessly fidget. Palms come together and heads bow. Namaste.
