Spooky Campus Spots

The Devil Elevator (Van Pelt) It’s a regular Sunday afternoon. You’ve just woken up, you’re still a little drunk and your backpack is bursting with overdue anxiety.

How to Make an Impression this Halloween

Drop the cat ears! Step away from the cultural appropriation! We’re all secretly pining for something a little more elaborate than a leotard with a tail, but no one wants a Mean Girls–esque fashion faux pas to ruin their holiday.

Ego of the Week: Lakshmi Sivaguru

By day, Lakshmi Sivaguru is a champion of women’s rights, a dedicated television–viewer and an admittedly awful cook. By night, Lakshmi Sivaguru is Maria.

Word on the Street: From Penn to Oktoberfest in 96 Hours

Let’s be real: Oktoberfest is every frat boy’s wet dream: beer, boobs, a selection of heavy, meat–based foods, amusement rides and more beer.

This Halloween, Don't Dress Up As These Cliches

1. Lingerie + Animal Ears  As tempting as it is to spend your whole night quoting Karen Smith’s iconic phrase, “I’m a mouse, duh,” it’s probably time to upgrade the costume you’ve been wearing since “Mean Girls” came out.

Ego of the Week: Dan Saris

Intimidating other giant football players by day and wimpy underage kids by night, offensive tackle and Blarney doorman/bartender Dan Saris majors in Molecular Biology, kicking ass and taking names.

Ego of the Week: Steph Kotnik

When she’s not inadvertently posing for Hillel brochures, this Catholic Quaker Girl presides over Mortar Board and educates the next generations of TriDelts and 8th graders.

Word on the Street: Black is the New Black

Throughout my time at Penn, I’ve amassed a truly unfortunate number of “that girl” monikers: “that girl who tweets a lot,” “that girl who makes sarcastic comments,” “that girl with the glasses,” to name a few.

Ego's Guide to This Weekend: 10.6/10.7

Everyone knows that besides Fling, Parents Weekend is the social pinnacle of the academic year. And, as if hungover breakfasts and invasive questions weren't enough, the LSAT falls this Saturday, too.

Word on the Street: A Modest Proposal

I want to propose something. I know that it’s radical, dangerously so, but, with any luck, some of this world’s problems could be solved with just one simple change in our daily lives: we should look at each other. How often do you pass someone on campus, just casually walking by, and they simply refuse to look at you?

Ego of the Week: Tanvir Gopal

When he's not customizing Coke floats at Capogiro or reminiscing about his stint on Broadway, Tanvir Gopal is choreographing dances for Dhamaka and denying rivalries with Masala. (Sure...)

Word on the Street: Wanna Walk to Class?

It’s happened to the best of us. You spend the evening chatting it up with someone in your hall/suite/living unit and end with that fateful question: “Hey, what time do you have class tomorrow?” The other person answers: “10 a.m.” You obviously start at 10 and pose the question: “Hey, wanna walk over together?” The person nods excitedly and your plan is set. Stop right there. That was a terrible idea.
