When we started working through the idea to go random with Penn 10 this year, we weren’t really sure if it was going to work. But the result was better than we could've expected. This issue could have been populated by any permutation of the thousands of seniors at Penn, and it would have still been amazing, because everyone at Penn has a meaningful story. We hope that, whatever your Penn experience, you find kernels of it represented here.

This Dining Guide highlights the memories, stories, and connections we make with food. Our reviews emphasize the experience of dining out. We’ve profiled students and alumni who use food to jumpstart businesses and clubs. We tried your favorite cookie recipes. Some of us opened up about our relationships with food: the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this issue, food is the main character.
SWUG: “Maybe this [Sex and Human Nature] class will teach me how to get laid.”
