Campus Life
Ego Of The Week: Melissa and Tanya Pavri
Twins Melissa and Tanya Pavri have infiltrated almost every extracurricular Penn has to offer. After four years of campus-wide recognition, they finally have their say in Street. Street: Between the two of you, how many groups are you involved in?
Swine '09
I didn’t go to class last week. A disclaimer: I’m not one of those people — the kind who view lectures and seminars as obstacles to “experiencing college.” I love my classes.
The Long Walk Home
If, like me, you are silly and female, then you most likely walk home alone in the dead of the West Philadelphian night.
Ego Of The Week: BMOC 2009
Street got to sneak a peak at the sultry moves of some of Penn’s biggest men on campus — and their even bigger egos — during rehearsals for BMOC, Alpha Chi Omega's philanthropy event going down at the Troc on Tuesday.
And The Piano, It Sounds Like A Carnival
Upon arrival at Jolly’s Dueling Piano Bar on Friday night, the weather was cold, but the pianos were hot.
Ego of the Week: Natalie Vernon
Street: You’re working on your Masters in Government Administration. How is it straddling the undergrad/grad domains? Natalie Vernon: The personalities: it's like going from a hipster party past its prime (Public Financial Management) to a Beige Block mixer (PSYC 001). Street: Why are Midwesterners like yourself so darn friendly? NV: Maybe there’s something in the corn? Street: What's the strangest SAC request you’ve ever received?
Ceramics: A Euphemism for Playing with Mud
When I wake up in the morning, I worry about what to wear. I’m not worried about how my outfit will look; instead I’m worried about how it will hold up under the pounds of wet clay sure to come flying at me during the day.
Alternative Education: Beyond the Requirements
With registration around the corner and a schedule of boring requirements staring you down, remember that school doesn’t always have to provide a nuts-and-bolts education.
Because Who Doesn’t Want a Corsage?
When I think of Homecoming, I don’t necessarily think of football games or seeing old friends. I don’t think about tailgating or special alumni receptions or anything related to Penn, really. I think of high school dances. You know what I’m talking about.
Fuck Opportunities
Remember R. Kelly’s soulful jam “I Believe I Can Fly”? It was really big circa 1996. 1996, now that was a good year.
Ego of the Week: Anna Aagenes
Street: Who would win in a celebrity death match: Sphinx, Penn Track or QSA? Anna Aagenes: Sphinx and QSA could unleash the power of sphinx and the rainbow respectively, but the track girls have some impressive muscles from our lifting.
Blogging the Illadelph
Daily Candy Philadelphia The daily email digest — featuring everything from event listings to shopping suggestions — sometimes provides Philly retail inspiration.
With Love, Street XOXO
Philadelphia’s latest campaign has natives falling in love with our fair city all over again. Postcards, t-shirts and one-of-a-kind promotions have convinced us that loving the City of Brotherly Love is back in style.
No Ugging Way
It’s a fact of Penn life: the weather gets cold, the boots come out. Unfortunately, all too often these boots are Uggs.
Ego of the Week: Justin Biggs
Renaissance man Justin Biggs does everything from ruling Wharton to teaching Philly kids how to get their groove on with CityStep.
Love is a Battlefield
After the Times outed the Ivy Plus Society as the ultimate pretentious dating pool — appropriate pedigree required — we thought we’d round up similarly gauche happenings on and around campus.
Hell Yes, Man
I have several nicknames — none of them good — that I would like to share with you: Negative Nancy, Pessimistic Polly, Debbie Downer and Fatty McLovehandles.
Ego of the Week: Rajasekhar Ghanta
Street: Most underrated thing about Penn? Overrated? Raja: Underrated: The WALK. Overrated: Penn boys. Street: Favorite Penn designer? RG: It’s great to see so many students designing.
Looks on Locust
This fall, with the changing colors of the leaves comes a wave of masculine clothing for the feminine physique.
