We’ve all been there at some point: it’s been a wild night out, you’ve picked up and devoured your Allegro/Wawa munchies, and now you need some hazy music while your mind wanders. This playlist has saved me on those nights many times. It’ll probably do the same for you.

Start on the 8th floor. The Fabric Workshop on 12th and Arch encourages a top-down approach for “Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture," a traveling exhibition on view now through November 5th. But if you decide to start on the main level, and you make it to the far end (many will not—there’s enough fabulous artwork in the gift shop to spend a whole day), you’ll find the last object of the show: a quilt–like, topographical, floor–to–ceiling mural piece.

College movies are, along with rom–coms and sports films, part of the Holy Trinity in the faith of B movie producers or, alternatively, of the triad of predictability for us regular viewers. Inevitably, when most people think of this type of movie, which it’s safe to say has become a genre of its own, the first images that come to mind are debaucherous parties, never–ending sex and a complete disregard for any type of academic matter. Once the script ticks these boxes, all producers have to do is add in a hero, a villain, and a love interest, and link them together with the help of some worn storyline.

Between piano keys sampled in the background, the snare drums that kick in within a few seconds, and the bass that soon after blasts through your speakers, at first listen you would believe Higher Brothers’ “Yahh” to be a Zaytoven–produced track off Migos’ album, Culture. However, once the lyrics start flowing, most people do a double take. That’s mostly due to the fact that while these four rappers rap in a similar fashion to Migos, the Higher Brothers rep Chengdu, China, not Atlanta, Georgia.

Ah, summer. Some of us were off traveling the world and 'gramming the living eff out of it, some of us were kicking it at a fancy shmancy internship, and some of us were bumming it out in recovery from the whirlwind that is a year at Penn. Regardless of what you were doing and where, June and July flew by faster than you ran out of that last final. My point: no matter how much you love your srat or your beach sand, moving back to campus is a little bit of a shock for us all.
