I’m addicted to sticky notes. In other words, I’m scared of forgetting.
Meet Penn Records and Johnny Vitale
(01/31/18 7:49am)
Philadelphia is one of the best cities for live music in the country. Unfortunately, many Penn students have a hard time finding ways to enter the music scene. Penn Records is trying to change that. In just a few months, Penn Records went from an idea to a full–force organization with over 40 members, an executive board, and a list of successful live shows. But for president Johnny Vitale (C ’20), this is only the beginning.

Penn Club Spotlight: Wharton Latino
(01/25/18 6:29am)
Ask a freshman to describe club membership at Penn, and “welcoming” is not a word that initially comes to mind. While many underclassmen are entering the spring semester with some sort of club experience under their belts, it’s hard to forget the initial shock of NSO’s Student Activities Fair and the intense application period that followed, when it became quickly apparent that passionate for a club was not enough to gain entry. It’s a culture that has recently been criticized for heightening mental health issues on campus. It’s also a culture that Wharton Latino rejects entirely.

Meet Deb: the Magic Behind Magic Carpet
(01/24/18 1:51am)
Deb Varvoutis can multitask. She doles out falafel and veggie chili to polite students who’ve waited in line for 10, 15, 20 minutes, braving the January wind. In between all of her gentle "How are you?" and "Make sure you grab a fork!" banter with customers, she tells me about Magic Carpet, the food cart she’s worked at for the last three decades.
Getting To Know Marvin Morgan
(01/24/18 2:00pm)
On some days, the warm sun shines down intensely, kissing his skin. On other days, the cold pierces right through him, the harsh wind scraping roughly against his nimble limbs. His heart does not race because he is nervous. In fact, he is perfectly calm and comfortable, regardless of the weather. Marvin has learned to trust the process.
Restaurant Week Superlatives

Working At Insomnia: How The Cookie Crumbles
(01/22/18 7:31pm)
There aren't many places open late at night at Penn, and that's more than a problem. Fortunately for Penn students, Insomnia Cookies was created for this express purpose, to indulge your munchies. A genius Penn student, Seth Berkowitz (C' 14), founded the company after he used to sell cookies out of an Easy–Bake Oven on Locust Walk. The location in Houston Hall is in fact the first location ever.

Freshman Hack: Pimp Your Easy Mac
(01/24/18 2:00pm)
Macaroni and cheese is undeniably a freshman staple. (Sorry to all the gluten–free freshmen out there. It's a cold, cold world without Wishbone macaroni in your life). But sometimes, you have to make due with the singular appliance available in your dorm room: the microwave. Here are two recipes that won’t require you to buy measuring equipment, search for an enormously complicated list of ingredients you’ll probably only use once, or do the dishes. And it tastes good too! Dorm hibernation at it’s finest.
Your Penncard Unlocks More Than Doors: Student Discount Roundup
(01/22/18 8:24pm)
One of the greatest parts about being a student is the goodies that come with a .edu email and a student ID: student discounts. Street has rounded up some of the best student discounts. They require no effort on your behalf, but have a huge payout (literally).
Pussyhats and Protest Fashion in the Age of Trump
(01/22/18 7:36pm)
Participating in the 2017 Women's March last year after the inauguration as a student I felt like I was making history, but almost a year later, the signs, t–shirts, and pussyhats feel more distant than I would have guessed. Not too much—or at least as much as many would've hoped for—has changed since my friends and I sat in our dorm plastering poster paper with protests. President Trump is still attacking female politicians (last year it was Hillary Clinton, this year it’s Kirsten Gillibrand, among many others), and issues of immigration, climate change, and police brutality still persist.

Life At Allegro: A Behind–the–Counter Look
(01/15/18 11:41pm)
It’s calmer than what a freshman at Penn might be used to as I walk into Allegro Pizza on a Wednesday afternoon. Eventually after one of the staff members jokingly asks if I need someone for a photo shoot, I sit down to talk with one of the employees. Crystal Nguwen is the 23–year–old assistant manager and social media coordinator who commutes from the Northern Liberties, but she assures me that the customers know her as “the Asian one.” She’s worked here for a couple years and possesses an interesting insight into the Penn community as someone who works at one of the hottest spots on campus.

Winners and Losers of 2017
(12/11/17 3:54pm)
It's been one hell of a year. As exams draw to a close and students' patience runs thin, it's important to remember all the highs and lows of this last earthly rotation around the sun.
The App That's Supporting Sexual Assault Survivors
(12/05/17 4:31am)
Stories from assault survivors stress the healing power that friendship can have in dark times, that openness and support and family and love can be a salve. While the importance of support is well understood, things are often murkier for survivors when it comes to taking the next step and reporting their assault. It’s why rape is one of the most underreported crimes in the country.
