After a school–sponsored dinner last year, Lillian* was struck by a thought: “Wow, I don’t know when I’m going to eat again. Hopefully soon.”
Once while I was studying abroad I had a dream that I was back at Penn. I was at a crowded party with loud music and colorful pulsing lights. I was flitting between conversations, trying desperately not to be seen standing by myself. I woke up and was immediately filled with relief to still be lying on my floor mat, surrounded by my mosquito net in the home in rural Thailand I was staying in. I noticed my body was shaking and damp with sweat and I realized I had been having a nightmare. I spent my last two days in Thailand ceaselessly sobbing. I cried at our final party. I cried while packing. I cried in the cab to the airport. I cried so much that people stopped being concerned and just interacted with me as they normally would, except for the fact that I was crying. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much, and I didn’t think I would until this week.
Frances Patano, currently a College senior, had just gotten out of rehearsal when her friend called her with bad news. “I don’t know what happened, you had an amazing application, it was just so competitive this year, I feel awful.” She asked to meet up with Frances at 40th and Spruce Streets, where she put her arm around her and slowly walked her around the block. Frances’ stomach dropped. Had she really not gotten in? Several minutes later a group of people wearing togas and carrying handles ran towards her and shouted “Get on the ground!” She was filled with relief. She had gotten into Friars Senior Honor Society.
