The Round Up: 3.26.09

By most measures, the arrival of Spring means tulips, frolicking in the grass and an overwhelming hue of brighter shades. At Penn, it means the beginning of the academic slump, a slow emptying from Van Pelt onto College Green, and the lingering anxiety that you didn’t get an internship at Goldman Sachs or Conde Nast. As for frolicking, though, the crowd-pleasing Strictly Funk, Simply Chaos and Off the Beat shows brought a mix of song and dance to campus. Many a “OMG, I wish I were talented!” was heard around campus. Many of our friends in the Greek scene have been spotted in costumey garb for themed mixer parties, including Kappa Sig, who had a mixer with TriDelt... the Villanova chapter. Word has it the boys also headed down to Temple for some other off-campus ladies. But let us not sway too far from campus. Fresh Grocer was mysteriously closed for like, a few hours, in the middle of the night. Drunken people apparently cared and had to trek ALL the way to Wawa to get their fix. In other average news, we confirmed that acoustic-rock-slightly-better-than-Dave Matthews Guster will be performing at Fling. Please, Penn, supply us with something a little more interesting next week.
