As I type this, I'm shedding dead skin flakes all over the keyboard. But actually, I'm molting all over this keyboard that wasn't built for my giant hands. My peeling inner elbows are a yummy reminder of spring break and all the fun memories it brought. Over break, I was diligent enough applying Mexican sunscreen to my arms, but I forgot to hit the crook of my elbow with some sweet SPF. Alas, I fell asleep with arms outstretched. I cooked my metaphorical goose.

Anthony Anchelowitz came to Penn as a mechanical engineer but made the switch to cinema studies and communications, all the while juggling his many passions.

It’s no secret that Penn academia can be overwhelming with its 300–person lecture halls and heavily weighted exams. These five teachers, nominated by students they have taught in the past year, help to bring the overall anxiety down a notch by creating unique and positive learning cultures in their classrooms.

Herbes de Provence from Southeast France, black olive paste from San Remo, Italy, extra virgin olive oil from Nabeul, Tunisia, smoked salmon from Sweden, and bottles of exquisite spices are just a few of the ingredients used at Chez Yasmine, the food truck on 37th and Spruce streets. The man behind the truck and their famous sandwich is Jihed Chehimi.

Yesterday, I glimpsed the cracks in it all. The summer has a strange way of making me introspective. Or thinking of the summer, that is. Spring break is a cheap summer stand–in but it still gets me thinking all the same. It's got me down with a case of the Collegiate Dread. This is what I get for rereading The Harvard Crimson's "Why I Left the Spee" article in my last class.

It was a warm April 2017 when they started talking. By May, they had already set up an arrangement.

On the easternmost edge of Penn’s campus is the Class of 1923 Arena. Inside the arena, above the ice rink and the seats, there’s a concrete walkway that rings around the building’s interior. Up there, there’s a little dugout with a table and internet access. That’s where Luke Mullan (C '19) sits when he commentates on the Penn Men’s Hockey club games.

If you're tired of talking about the weather this week, you should meet Danielle Goh (W '20).

This year, Penn hosted its first ever symposium on student research, bringing together Ivy League students from all disciplines to present and discuss their work. It wouldn't have been possible without Anuj Amin, symposium founder. Did we mention he's also good with a bow and arrow?

Kathryn Wilson rolls her eyes at me as we sit in Platt Student Performing Arts House. “It’s the most convenient week ever to get sick,” she laughs. She’s being sarcastic, of course. A few days later the Glee Club had their spring show—needless to say, Kathryn had been pretty busy.

Fourteen Penn students have died by suicide since 2013, and many more have said they face various issues around mental health on campus. While more resources are being made available to them, the stigma around mental illness continues to persist at this university.

When I was applying for housing last summer as an incoming freshman, I was set on one thing only: living in a single. Whether it be in the Quad, Hill, or any of the other freshman housing options, my main goal was to eat, sleep, and live alone. I witnessed classmates who I hadn’t yet met in real life scrambling for roommates on Facebook, while others chose to “go random” to let fate decide.

Behind the scenes at last weekend’s Vagina Monologues was the show’s producer Ariana Martino. Wearing a hat with the signature red V, Ariana talked about VagMons and their role on Penn’s campus.

Eva Lewis (C' 21) is all about her activism. And she's busy. At just 19, this Questbridge scholar has already been more active in politics than most full–grown adults. She started The I Project in 2015, which she calls her “baby.” It’s “an initiative to humanize youth affected by intersectionality through an activism by arts approach through community outreach.” She also started Youth for Black Lives after she and three other girls held a protest in Chicago with 3,000 people present. Their aim was “to amplify the voices of black youth.” The group is also entirely run by black femmes—something Eva is very proud of.

It took 101 days, six modes of transportation (plane, train, automobile, Korean warship, zipline, and even robot), and 8,005 torchbearers to transport the Olympic torch from Athens to Pyeongchang in time for the 2018 Winter Games. This year, one of the lucky few chosen to bear the torch was Min Jae Yoo (W ’18).

Sleep, academics, social life, landing that double axel jump flawlessly—for figure skaters at Penn, balancing it all is second nature. This week, as bedazzled athletes jump, twirl, and land triple toe–loops in PyeongChang in hopes of Olympic gold, here at Penn, 40 students are struggling to get recognition for their sport.

I will admit I initially got secondhand anxiety upon hearing Khalil Jones (C '18) describe his daily schedule as a personal fitness instructor at Pottruck Fitness Center. This is what a typical Wednesday for Khalil looks like:

Wharton. This word is charged with a multitude of different stereotypes of what Wharton students are like. Very competitive. Highly pre–professional. Probably in a GSR at this very moment. But that is definitely not the whole picture.

I don't think I've ever been this excited for an issue. 34th Street Magazine's Love Issue is everything that we're about as a publication. Raw, funny, weird. At times intense. Just like the undergraduate years and our society's obsession with Valentine's Day.

This week’s Egos Of The Week provide a Rihanna concert, Philz Coffee, and the Mask and Wig band to remind you of just how single you are this Valentine’s Day.
