What’s Cooking on Campus: Meet Penn’s Amateur Chefs
(09/28/22 1:30pm)
From instant noodles to microwavable mac and cheese, the so–called “struggle meal” is a hallmark of many a Penn student’s diet. Often juggling a never–ending stream of problem sets, SABSing obligations, and late–night Van Pelt study sessions, no one can blame the average teen or twentysomething for reaching for a ready–made option rather than breaking out the recipe book. And for the 5,500 or so undergraduates who call the College Houses their home, worn–down appliances and minimal storage space make cooking a meal from scratch all the more arduous.

(08/24/21 11:35pm)

Using Astrology As A Tool For Self–Reflection
(07/31/20 2:36pm)
Every day at around 11 a.m., Co–Star sends me my daily push notification. Punching in my passcode to see what piece of oddly specific wisdom the app has chosen to bestow upon me, I peruse my chart and read up on how the angle of the moon in relation to Neptune is causing confusion in my personal relationships.
Give Back From the Comfort of Your Couch and Volunteer From Home
(07/26/20 9:34pm)
If there’s anything that this pandemic has taught me, it’s that you can do a lot more from home than you think—including volunteering. Social distancing may have limited your opportunities to help out in person, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still make a difference. These days, organizations are looking for online volunteers willing to lend a hand—all you need is internet connection.

Let's Talk About Manifestation
(07/13/20 7:15pm)
Pay attention to the headlines and you’ll know that Millennials and Gen Z'ers have been accused of carrying out a corporate America massacre, killing everything from cereal to cable TV. But while the media makes it seem that young people are dead set on toppling all vestiges of the past, a number of cultural industries have actually seen a revival in recent years—among them spirituality.
Meditation: Hype or Helpful?
(07/11/20 2:10am)
I’ll admit, at times I can be a bona fide scatterbrain. While I wouldn’t classify myself as a full–blown mess, my thoughts tend to get a bit disorganized. These occasional bouts of flightiness are usually harmless. However, after I both locked my keys in my car and cracked an egg straight into the trash instead of into a pan in the span of ten minutes this morning, I decided that perhaps it was time to work on my mindfulness. And what better way to practice mindfulness than with some good old–fashioned meditation?

(07/07/20 12:07am)
As demonstrations continue across the United States and around the world in the wake of George Floyd’s murder, a number of celebrities, brands, and businesses have taken to social media to express both their support for the Black Lives Matter movement and their commitment to helping fight systemic racism.

Thrifting, But Make It Virtual
(05/05/20 8:43pm)
In recent years, the practice of thrift shopping has taken on a new life—and it's easy to see why. For one, thrift stores are the perfect place to score one–of–a–kind clothing finds at more affordable prices. And in the era of fast fashion, buying your clothes secondhand is great for the environment. As many seasoned thrift shoppers can attest, there's no better feeling than uncovering the perfect addition to your wardrobe after sifting through racks and racks of clothes. However, with the COVID–19 pandemic keeping us holed up at home and away from our favorite shopping spots, a thrift store shaped hole has been left in the hearts of many.
