Let's be honest: if Penn students posted pictures that accurately and honestly represented our summers, Instagram would consist mostly of bed–bound double chins, sweat–drenched subway commutes and tragically tone–less, tan–less poolsides. So we compiled a list of all those staged and filtered pictures you keep seeing. Don't scroll through Instagram again. Let Street do that for you.

I am 21 years old, and I don’t know how to ride a bike. Every day, when I run along the Schuylkill River Trail, seven–year–olds on bicycles—whose lives I have lived three times over—zoom past me. And even though I understand the basic physics that even bodies lacking stationary stability will remain upright when in motion, I can’t convince myself to actually lift my feet from the ground and pedal forward.

In the fall of her senior year at Penn, Jess King (C ’15) asked herself if education was the most valuable thing she could do with her diploma.

Last year, “Café Renata,” a favorite BYO brunch spot for Penn students, shut its doors after kitchen towels, warm from the dryer, caught fire at 1 a.m. and set the restaurant ablaze. Just six months later, chef Yasser Aiq and manager Kate Aiq opened “Renata’s Kitchen.”

“A long time ago, I found a cat that needed a home,” says Kathy Jordan, president and founder of Green Street Rescue. “And, like potato chips, one cat leads to another.” Since then, she has rescued over 3,000 cats and founded “Le Cat Café,” a multifaceted establishment. Its purposes include educating people about getting their cats fixed in order to prevent unwanted kittens from being born and about the need to take care of strays, as well as introducing people who have never had a pet about how great it is to own one and encouraging people to adopt. It’s like a regular cafe, but instead of offering a selection of sandwiches and pastries, it offers a chance to get to know cats in need of a home over coffee. “It’s taking our living rooms and making them public,” says Kathy. “And the more cats get adopted, the more cats we can take off the street. So when you adopt one cat, you’re really saving two.”

The first thing you see as
you enter the ground floor
gallery of the Institute of
Contemporary Art is a black
tarp mounted on a white
wall. Welcome to Rodney
McMillian’s “The Black
Show.”

We recreated some of the most iconic, period pieces. It's like your yearbook portrait if it were to stand the test of time: equally awkward and even more staged.

If “The Art of American Still Life” doesn’t sound like an exciting day out at the museum, that’s because it isn’t. Poorly lit gallery after poorly lit gallery exhibits endless bowls of fruit, vases of flowers, and piles crockery that blur together as they trace the history of the American still life. The boredom—and hunger—hit me within the first ten minutes.

How different might Penn's hook-up culture be if, instead of eliciting acceptance or rejection via date night invites or drunk texts, our crushes simply poked their love sticks through our windows at night?

I’m not really sure what purpose Scratch Biscuits could possibly serve to Penn students.

This Parents’ Weekend, when avoiding the scores of freshmen and their parents at White Dog, Greek Lady and Metropolitan Bakery, Hon- ey’s Sit ‘n’ Eat is the place to go. Its college–budget prices with casual brunch ambiance make for a perfect Sunday morning student haunt.

Fall break is on the horizon. Are you going home to put on some much–needed winter weight? Or to Miami for a much–needed tan? Or to New York for some much–needed quality time with the people you see every weekend? If you answered no to all these questions and are now feeling extremely depressed about next weekend, then you're reading the right article. Whether you're a freshman who didn’t realize Fall Break existed (me last year) or an upperclassman who has too much laundry, work and sleep to catch up on (me this year), staying on campus is a brilliant idea. Especially if you're ready for some much–needed arts time.

If you missed the Institute of Contemporary Art’s opening event, mark your calendars for the next one. It was the sceniest place on campus this Wednesday, attracting Penn students, Penn faculty, local families and West Philly hipsters. There really is no excuse not to go—it’s free and it’s right at 36th and Sansom (for those of you who took last week’s feature to heart, that’s right next to the Urban Outfitters). Socialization component aside, the new exhibitions are definitely worth seeing. And, though you may have missed the free empanadas, wine and live music, the free art will be there for you to enjoy for the rest of the semester.

If a critic of the 19th century were to attend what is currently the Philadelphia Art Museum’s main exhibition, he might squint at the smudged, smeared, blotched canvases and describe it as “worth seeing for the same reason one would go see an exhibition of pictures painted by the inmates of a lunatic asylum.”
