To foster inclusive campus culture, universities need diversity at the student level, the faculty level, and in their administration. The most enriching environment possible is when students of all backgrounds feel represented by their role models. Nonetheless, Penn’s political science department—yes, the political science department—has a stark lack of diversity: only one Black professor.

This year, it feels like the revolving door of internet trends has been coming and going faster than Julia Fox could say “Uncuht Jamz”—each with a lifespan shorter than the Miu Miu mini–skirt that took over our feeds and convinced us all that this scrap of low–waisted khaki was enough to cover up the shame of reverting to Y2K trends. 2022 online trends had us acting like Patrick Bateman taking ourselves on solo–dates in the name of self–care as if we aren’t just antisocial, lonely suckers too lazy to make a Hinge profile. Anyways, YOU GET THE POINT! These internet moments come and go and we can’t help but buy into them—because what else is going to fill the endless void in our minds reminding us that we’re like Chicken Little screaming that the world is ending and climate change is imminent? Without further ado, here are Street’s favorite internet trends of 2022.

“What exactly do you do for an encore?” You go on tour for the first time in over a decade. Legendary English rock band Pulp, whose songs span topics from perverse and frustrating sex to the UK class system, first split up in 2002 after their release of We Love Life.

Philadelphia foodie culture is elite, and Spasso is a hidden gem within its broad array of offerings. Though the city is home to a variety of dining options, it can be difficult to find the time to venture off Penn’s campus and explore. More than that, as college students, it’s difficult to find a restaurant that’s both high quality and won’t break the bank. Paying for transportation, the meal, and the tip can quickly add up. At Spasso, this isn’t a concern. You get top restaurant quality without the anxiety or guilt about the idea of checking your bank account after you’ve finished enjoying the meal.

A few weekends ago, as I was getting ready to go out, I received a horrifying text message from my mother: “I started watching Tell Me Lies.” For any girl who just started college, if your mom sends you this same text, you should scream, panic, and very quickly change your family’s Hulu password.

Hailing from less than an hour outside of Philly, Jack Franklin has certainly made the most of his four years at Penn, rising to leadership positions in both the A Cappella Council and Counterparts A Cappella. For those wondering, the Penn a cappella scene is only a little bit like Pitch Perfect, and there are unfortunately no Riff–Offs. Aside from leading tours for Kite and Key, an experience he says is “always the highlight of my week,” Jack takes initiative within his school, leading in Wharton Cohorts and serving as the vice president of Wharton Alliance. Most characteristically, though, Jack makes sure to perfectly combine his creative and more academic passions, because what's life without a little music?

In a matter of minutes, what started as a homecoming game’s halftime show shifted into a massive student protest, as dozens of students took Franklin Field by storm with three orange banners outlining their demands from Penn’s administration: Save the UC Townhomes, Divest, Pay PILOTs. The disruption—touted by Fossil Free Penn as their biggest protest ever—was the culmination of the activism group’s 39–day–encampment outside of College Hall.

On Oct. 16, the 60th New York Film Festival (NYFF), presented by Film at Lincoln Center, came to an end after a 17–day cinematic marathon. Featuring a wide range of quirky, subversive, and most importantly, inherently different films from across the world, the festival is a potent testament to the youth of cinematic art and its everlasting appeal, even after the severe effects from the COVID–19 pandemic. Since its creation in 1963, the NYFF is one of the longest–running and most prestigious non–competitive film festivals in the United States.

A decade ago, Carly Rae Jepsen asked us to call her, maybe. And since then, we’ve left her on read, sent her to voicemail, and effectively ghosted her from the cultural consciousness. Now, ten years later, Jepsen’s new album, The Loneliest Time, is here, and it’s time for all of us to pick up the phone and give her a call.

Eno Williams dances around the stage, her sleeves whirling as her arms reach with steadfast determination toward the disco ball on the ceiling, her feet stepping to the demanding beat. An audience member beckons her closer, and gives her a present in the form of a Philadelphia Phillies jersey. She puts it around her shoulders, signaling the love she’s expressed for her Philadelphia audience all night long. The party on stage is almost rivaled by the absolute riot of a time people are having in the crowd. “I’m gonna show it to my mum!” she proclaims. Williams locks eyes with individuals in the World Cafe Live audience, and dedicates a song to the City of Philadelphia, just one stop of Ibibio Sound Machine's (ISM) Electricity Live Tour on Oct. 20.

Professor John Lapinski has a few stories up his sleeve, to say the least, and he pulls them out quickly—not in haste, but with habit. He was in Berlin when the wall fell, he tells me as he rustles through his desk, pulling out a framed black–and–white photograph from a pile of clutter. It’s Lapinski and a friend, some East German soldiers in the background.

Two climate activists, wearing shirts displaying “Just Stop Oil,” splashed Heinz tomato soup on Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and glued their hands to the museum walls on Oct. 14.
