Wannabe Bachelor in Paradise contestant: "None of my conversations would've passed the Bechdel test this week."
COVID-19 shut down Philly’s restaurant scene for months. Now, our favorite eateries are back—but the menu looks different.
Victim of the "Take A Lap" Phenomenon: "Drake? He reminds me of every man in Phi."
Design Is Their Passion: "I'll be honest. I find Comic Sans kind of soothing."
Girl Who Calls Saxbys Cheugy: "I'm like pistachio milk—I'm high maintenance, expensive, and hard to find."
It's a hot grad summer—and these 10 seniors are no exception.
The pandemic took many things from 2020. Chief among them are formative experiences, including music and the context in which it's heard. "WAP" just doesn't hit the same coming from shoddy laptop speakers when you're missing the thrills of a night out at the club. In lieu of collective body heat and close brushes against others, now alien in the time of perpetual social distancing, you're met with the echo of your room. With that in mind, Street reminisces about the time when we could let it all out on the floor. Here are the top songs we would want to hear once doors open up again.
COVID–19 may have shook up the food industry, but here's how some restaurants are changing things for the better.
The past year that we've spent living under the COVID–19 pandemic has led people to seek comfort in myriad people, places, and things—including food. As we navigate this peculiar and difficult time, the food we consume has turned into more than just a source of nutrients. It provided people with a sense of familiarity and comfort. Whether it be a traditional family recipe that brings with it a much–needed sense of belonging, as holiday gatherings are replaced by Zoom meetings, or a cup of homemade coffee that helps maintain a sense of normalcy, here are some of the food items and recipes that have brought Penn students comfort over the past year.
From Zoom dates to long walks around our blocks, here’s how Penn found love under lockdown.
While none of us could have anticipated the effects that the advent of COVID–19 would have on our society, the hardships and grief of life under lockdown have certainly been felt by all of us. Separated from our loved ones and facing a future full of uncertainty, quarantine has pushed us to find new ways to cope with our so–called "new normal."
To say the least, 2020 has been a weird year. In light of the social distancing required to remain safe during these times, we've had more time than ever to consume media voraciously. Although watching TV oftentimes felt like a painful reminder of the life we left behind, it also serves as a welcome distraction from the havoc of the real world. Without further ado, we present to you our favorite shows and movies to escape into this year.
As 2020 comes to a close, it’s time for some reflection. And trust me, we’ve got a lot to unpack here.

It's been a tough year. Thankfully, music exists.
Street Eats: Embracing Homemade Meals in Quarantine
Summer means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some of us, it means relaxation: a chance to live without having to check our planners for when the next problem set is due. For others, it's a time of freedom: we can perform research in the fields we're interested in or intern at the companies we want to work for. It's also a time for personal growth: a time for self–improvement and introspection, when we finally have time to focus on ourselves, our relationships, and our world.
Chad Vigil (C’20) is going to be a doctor. He’s graduating from Penn with a degree in neuroscience and a minor in chemistry, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a medical professional quite yet.
In the event of nostalgia–related emergency, press play.
