Welcome to Penn, where students overlap in webs more complicated than that gross hook–up diagram from "Jersey Shore." Forget six degrees of separation.
Well pets, we're here—that awkward hump between winter and spring breaks where the only thing that keeps us going is the promise of a beautiful week in the Bahamas a month away.
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.
5:45 a.m.: Shut off alarm. I must value the sacred American tradition of late sleeping.
6:37 a.m.: Awake from a glorious dream of prancing in blue ivy.
Rush may be over, lovelies, but don’t get too comfortable, Highbrow is here to entertain and amuse with all of your crazy stories—pledging or otherwise.
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.
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.
