Word on the Street: The Quest For A Gay Best Friend
[Please see ed. note at bottom of post] I have given myself a mission. Nope, it’s not to finish my freshman year with a 4.0, nor is it to use all my meal swipes by the end of the semester, nor is it even to successfully get into Smoke’s.

I can’t get enough of our bespectacled founder, the man, the myth: Benjamin Franklin. It all started with my “Why Penn” essay when, like most of you, I Googled the heck out of this dude.
Stare Master
I am a starer. I stare at people. I have probably stared at you. Don’t feel special. I stare at nearly everybody.
