Modern — it’s easy to be wary of the term when used to describe a cuisine that’s often best enjoyed in its most traditional and home–cooked form. But Buk Chon Korean Cuisine doesn't lose sight of the rich flavors that characterize authentic Korean food. Instead, its contemporary approach is seen most clearly in its artful decor and beautiful presentation.

Transform your lazy Sunday by heading to Old City and immersing yourself in Time Passes, an unusual performance piece of Virgina Woolf’s To the Lighthouse. Yes, it is actually eight hours long—a little over the length of the novel’s audiobook.

Let’s be real—30th Street Station isn’t exactly known for being a foodie hotspot. Still, sometimes it's about the destination and not the journey, especially when you’re hungry. Some may say you’re better off eating somewhere closer to Penn’s campus before you even leave for the station, but if you’re in a rush, desperate times call for desperate measures. Luckily, there are plenty of places to grab a coffee, a snack, or even a meal, including a couple places outside of the main hall. Here are a few of its noteworthy vendors to fit your every need.

Smoke—the wafting aroma of it clung to me the moment I pushed open the restaurant door, embracing me with a warmth that resonated with Southern hospitality. Already damp and disheveled from the rain, I made a mental note to change my clothes later. Perhaps it was the prevailing gloom outside that accentuated the immediate coziness of the room, or maybe it was the decor—the red walls were decked out in small homey paintings that seemed appropriate for a restaurant known for its comfort food.

4/20 has come and gone and if you feel unexpectedly worse for the wear (after all, can’t you only get a hangover from drinking?), you might have a “stoneover,” or a weed hangover.

If you can tell you went hard last night just by looking in the mirror, your skin might be suffering a hangover as well. Signs to look for? Puffy under–eye bags, dull complexion, the dead look in your bloodshot eyes (RIP). You probably know that alcohol’s dehydrating properties are directly responsible for most of your typical hangover symptoms, so it makes sense that they're also responsible for the condition of your skin. Your body will compensate by retaining water, causing the enlarged blood vessels and bloating that you typically experience in your skin. But there are a few ways of combating dehydration and treating your complexion so you can put your best face forward, even on an early Sunday morning.

Cooking can be a complicated affair as a college student. Not all of us are in line to be the next Gordon Ramsay, so deciding on recipes and buying all of the ingredients can exhaust the typical student. This is all before one can even think of spending the next half–hour to an hour actually putting the meal together.

It’s one day before the acclaimed Fishtown restaurant Pizzeria Beddia will be closing down. Their five–year rent is up. There's a line of 35 people that's wrapped around the corner; I can't even see the entrance. It’s clear they've come prepared to be camp out on the sidewalk for a while. A few people are huddled beneath a bright red canopy tent, their makeshift shelter against the afternoon drizzle. Others stand by, a beer in one hand and an umbrella in the other. A copy of Catch–22 lies abandoned on a fold–up chair. Any unknowing passerby would assume that the queue was for a small concert venue—definitely not a restaurant.

But activated charcoal has transformed into a beauty trend, with many skincare and haircare brands boasting products containing the all–natural ingredient. You can even drink it!

Recently, Versace designer Donatella Versace announced that her brand would no longer use fur, joining a growing list of high–fashion brands that are officially against the use of fur. But real fur is still used to make fashion statements, and it only takes one look down Locust Walk to see the large number of students donning parkas with fur–lined hoods. It’s an exceptionally controversial choice of material, made highly public with PETA’s ad campaigns, including the famous “I’d rather go naked than wear fur” slogan.

Sometimes it seems that beauty comes with a high price tag. It is easy to blow an entire months pay check at Sephora or Blue Mercury. But, high quality make–up can actually be very affordable. It’s important to remember that the beauty business is a for–profit industry, and the products that are often so heavily touted by beauty bloggers are exactly the same as the drugstore versions. Most of the time, the higher price is due to the brand and fancy packaging, not because of a difference in quality. Achieve flawless beauty with the following dupes of high–end products—trust me, you won’t look cheap.

At Penn, it seems that puppy love is always in the air. It’s easy to want a furry companion of your own when watching the dogs on the High Rise field frolic in the grass on a sunny day or see how strangers flock to puppies strolling down Locust. Or maybe you’re daydreaming about having a cat to cuddle while studying.

Before you get a pet, consider the following so that it doesn’t end in cat–astrophe.
