Freshmen

  • Diversify daily chai latte suppliers beyond Starbucks under Commons... to Wawa.
  • When BYOing at Sitar (38th and Chestnut streets), skip the wine and just bring straight vodka. Mix it with their mango lassi ($3.5), and you’ve got perfection.

  • Lift at Pottruck.
  • Major in Econ for at least five minutes.
  • Receive a business card from a foxy former Disney star.
  • Invite a lover back to the Quad after 2am. Then you’ll really know what it’s like to feel needed.

  • Stand outside academic buildings and ask freshmen who they know there.

  • Pregame by taking your flask along and crashing a Penn tour. Take a shot every time the tour guide name–drops Ben Franklin.

Seniors

  • Ask a Starbucks under Commons barista to fix your drink... and then survive.

  • Have a deep conversation on a Highrise rooftop lounge. Take a good, long pensive look at the Philadelphia skyline. Next year, you probably won’t be living anywhere close to as beautiful as this.
