GO TO CLASS EVERY DAY Why it Won’t Happen: It’s gonna start slow. Like, first, you’re at every class. And you are participating and you are active and everyone loves you. But then, one day, you’ll say, “Hmm, DRL is great, but know what’s greater? Not going to DRL.” What we’re trying to say here is it’s never too early to develop senioritis.

STREET: Why did you start doing animations? Julie Adam: I always liked animation: Pixar and Disney movies, film and all that. But I never took a class or anything, so it was, like, completely random. One day in 2010, I was just really bored and I was in an art store. I saw this animation book and I was like, “Oh. I can animate that.” That’s how it started. I bought a lot of books about animation and I started teaching myself. I loved the fact that you can literally make anything happen with animation. No limitations.
EXPECTATION: Your spring break will be just like Kelly Clarkson’s and that jewfro guy’s in “From Justin to Kelly” (2003)—romantic, musical, and sharp cheddar cheesey.
First, I have to admit: I j’adore Christoph Waltz. He’s such a pleasant, charismatic, beautiful, beautiful man, and I am rooting for him to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as Dr. King Shultz in "Django Unchained." However, I don’t think Mr. Waltz “gets” sketch comedy. He certainly tried his best this week, but he always had a little too much grace, a little too much bravado. That being said, for whatever reason, tonight the best sketches were also the most offensive. Take a look at the highlights of the night:
Asad
Fresh Guacamole
1. JUSTIN BIEBER IS NOT A COMEDIAN. Now, I’m not a huge Justin fan—and certainly not a Bieliever—but I can’t bring myself to hate the guy. Sure, he’s the typical vapid teenage idol with a little more douche than normal, but he’s an above–average singer with a truly remarkable backstory (haven’t you seen the movie?!?). But a comedian Mr. Bieber is not. He trudged his way through each sketch, sometimes cracking up in the middle (you’re no Jimmy Fallon, Justin), sometimes wiggling his eyebrows desperately vying for a laugh. It’s okay, JB. Selena probably still thinks you’re funny (if you guys are still together. Are you? Kids these days).

Sadly, our parents couldn't make it this weekend — primarily because they do not love us. So we decided to have them, as repayment for skipping out on the most important weekend of the year, write our Lowbrow section for us this week. To repeat: Our parents really, actually, legitimately wrote this stuff.
Governor Mitt Romney recently announced that he would cut funding to the Public Broadcasting Service, specifically to shows like "Sesame Street," which has been running for upwards of 40 years. As someone who has had the opportunity to visit the actual street (and yes, I can tell you how to get, how to get there), this remark was particularly painful because it was just so dumb. "Sesame Street," with its memorable cast of Muppets, stays relevant because it continues to teach lessons that apply to people outside their target 2–5 year–old demographic. Lessons like…
One Singular Sensation Not everyone is interested in seeing your multicultural vegan a capella group perform. But one person will be. Your mission: find that one person in the crowd who shows some actual interest. Your method: target fucking everyone. “For the fast times, I just hold out the flier and try to get as many people as possible. I might try a new technique and stand in the middle and hold my hands out. The 'block ’em' technique.” Peter Yin, Class of 2015, West Philly Swingers “I try to make eye contact.” Rachel Glade, Class of 2014, Penn Jazz

Where you went: Amusement Park What you did: Stood in a line for five hours to go on one ride, then peed your pants. Recreate it: –Go on a Roller Coaster of the Mind © with the Psychology Department by volunteering for an experiment. –Ride SEPTA for hours on end. You’re bound to get puked on at least once. –Stand in line for Hemo’s at rush hour to recreate that roller coaster tradition of waiting forever for something that will only satisfy you for a moment. Fastpass it by calling ahead. –Go to the Penn Bookstore to buy overpriced merchandise.
Legendary filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki’s latest creation, The Secret World of Arrietty, is no masterpiece. It follows the tiny–in–person but big–at–heart Arrietty Clock and her family as they try to survive in a regular family’s home. Like most Studio Ghibli creations, it is beautiful. The animation is fluid, the color scheme is soft, and the nature–heavy setting is rendered as lovingly as a Matisse painting. The movie excels at capturing the scope of Arrietty’s world, portraying everyday appliances as magnificent. Unfortunately, the story flounders. The pace throughout feels rushed, to the point that the climax barely even registers. The conflict, meanwhile, is forced to the point of incredulity. However, the real antagonist is the movie’s producer, Disney. From the inane pop soundtrack to the distracting Westernized names, The Secret World of Arrietty shows the importance of keeping the mouse out of our Totoro.
Blind date: There’s no shame in being set up for a date by your friends or family. They just want the best for you, bud. Show your date that you just want the best for them (at least, in theory) by giving them a “promise ring." It'll give them tangible evidence to show their matchmaker at the end of the day. Plus, the Jonas Brothers are so over at this point that promise rings should be hip by now. (Ring from Urban Outfitters, $20)
