The Roundup: 1.31.13

The weather might be warming up, ducklings, but that doesn't mean you should drop those winter hats and gloves just yet.



Word on the Street: A Rude Awakening

Almost three years ago, right before I first came to Penn, the "good luck" and "bon voyage" that I had been hearing all summer from friends and other well–wishers turned into “don’t party too hard!” and “remember, school comes first!” I quickly learned that Penn is wildly known as “the Social Ivy:” the Ivy most affiliated with partying. I have never been a partier, but I was curious to see the fantastic and potentially debauched social establishments for which my school was apparently famous.  So, in the beginning of freshman year, my friends and I did as the Romans do: we stood outside frat houses and waited to be invited in. During the last party we went to that fall, a friend and I left disinterested after only fifteen minutes.

My Penn Addiction: Blackboard Rosters

Blackboard sucks. Let’s just get it out in the open. I hate it, you hate it, we all hate it. But, still, I like to think of myself as a Blackboard connoisseur.

Girl: That guy isn’t that cute, but the other drug dealer is really cute. SDT Girl: OMG we have the same taste in salads! Guy: I got kicked out of McDonald’s last night.


Ask Miss Cassandra: Kinky Sex and Raunchy Texts

Dear Miss Cassandra, My boyfriend and I have been together since high school and I was wondering if there were any ways to spice up our love life without spending too much money or seeming too kinky? Couples who have been together for a long time often find the need to experiment.  A great way to do this is with “sex toys.” Now, don’t get scared.
