LOL

What if all our actions had no consequences?

This seems like an easy question to answer—sounds to me like the world would be pretty dope. We wouldn’t need to wake up for work, no more studying for exams, do all the drugs you want without a come–down…

While you’re at it, may as well go rob a fucking bank.

In the abstract, this all seems pretty great, and the thought always seems to occur to you when you’re drowning in deadlines and commitment and you’ve maxed out your food budget for the month on alcohol. But unfortunately, life doesn’t really work in the abstract, and even if your actions had no outside consequences for you personally, your neglectfulness or irresponsibility or recklessness would likely still have a significant impact on several others in the general vicinity of you. Rob a bank and you can buy that Balmain jacket, sure, but what about the people whose savings are now living on your back?

Obviously, the thought of life without consequences has occurred to me in the context of Game 7 coinciding with production for this magazine.

Sure, I could just say fuck it and fly

to Chicago for the game without any real consequences for myself, but then the magazine wouldn’t make it to the printer and you would all have to go a week without any of our stellar content. How sad would that be??

But seriously, acting without conscience may seem like a good idea at the time for you on a personal, individual level, but that type of thinking is narrow–minded and selfish. And, on the eve of an election that demands conscience, voting for the candidate that makes you feel good is so unspeakably self–indulgent. So is not voting. I don’t care if you are personally ambivalent. Your laziness could cost someone else their livelihood. This is not your president, this is America’s president, and you are just one of millions who it will affect.

So as you are reading this and thinking Jesus Christ this letter took a turn, open up your Google calendar and set a reminder to get off your ass on November 8 and GO VOTE. The world is a better place when we think beyond ourselves.

YOUR TYPICAL PENN PARTY SUPPORTERS

The latest profiles of Penn voters and why they support certain candidates.

Donald Trump

This is the Beta boy who isn’t actually a Trump supporter but is so #frat he wears the hat because ‘Murica. He’ll jokingly and vaguely talk about Trump’s policies in a way that you can’t quite tell if he’s kidding or just horribly uninformed. His rambling and nonsensical sentences leave you feeling mildly unsettled and nervous for the future of your nation because, if even his half–assed hypothetical isn’t thought through, there’s no way his real voting decision is either.

He’d probably be the person to show up to the booth on voting day slightly smashed and write in "Harambe" because he couldn’t think of anything more relevant.

Your female Trump supporter is sometimes hard to find, but she definitely grew up in a white, upper–class household. She'll share Facebook articles with headlines like "Watch Hillary Clinton Laugh at the Death of this Child's Puppy," and not realize that a decent amount of her peers have already unfollowed her. She probably found the Oz Wild Wednesday email to be somewhat concerning, but yet still vehemently defends Trump's "locker room talk." In the "liberal bastion that is Penn" (her words), she finds solace in the like–minded views of her parents, whom she regularly called home to after the debates.

Hillary Clinton

This crazed Hillary fan girl will stop at nothing to make sure everyone knows Hillary is the patron Saint of U.S. Government. She’s been “with her” since 2003 and would do just about anything to get her female beacon of hope elected. You’ll see her sitting inside WilCaf with her Mac decorated in “H” support stickers probably furiously typing a nasty reply to some Trump supporter on Facebook.

Your male Hillary supporter is a recently converted Bernie boy.

He’s decided to channel the Bern into his support for HRC. Now that he’s hopped onto the “I’m With Her” bandwagon, you can find him on Locust standing next to a Hillary Clinton life–size cutout

THEROUNDUP Now that both Homecoming and Halloween are Octover, Highbrow’s here to fill you in on the trick or treats of what happened. The ghosts of Penn’s past might have come and gone, but their questionable decisions will live on forever.

One little, lost Theta Dalmatian learned that Cruella wasn’t the only de Vil this weekend when she got punched at the Duos downtown. Another Dalmatian, who was clearly not a member of the original 101, thought she saw this other pup wearing her set of ears and decided go fetch what was hers. In an attempt to get the ears back, the Dalmatian altercation ensued. While reaching for the ears, the determined dog punched the other pup in the face—adding an unwanted spot to her face.

Things got even more heated this weekend when an SDT sophomore set fire to her phone while she was high. After consuming an edible, the sophomore

with a poster that says, “When They Go Low, We Go High.” If you ask him about Hillary’s missing emails, he’ll probably break out into a rendition of Hannah Montana’s “Nobody’s Perfect” because he wants everyone to know that “everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days.”

Gary Johnson

This is the betch who knows she can’t morally be a Trump supporter but is so desperate to stand out as a cool girl in the sea of Penn’s either pro–Hillary or indifferent to Hillary that she had to find an opportunity to make a statement somehow. She probably uses the cop–out of, “I mean Trump’s a lunatic, but I just like, can’t vote for Hillary, you know?” on a fairly regular basis and is an equal opportunity heckler for both major party candidates.

Gary Johnson finds his Penn support from boys whose fathers work corporate jobs and have decided to go rogue and vote for the Libertarian party. Since it was probably their dads’ legacies that got them into Penn, these boys have decided to make their fathers proud and follow in their footsteps. Although they are not exactly clear on what the Libertarian party values, they’ve always been ones to root for the underdog.

Jill Stein

There’s really only one kind of supporter for Jill Stein, and that’s the nonexistent one. Even members of the environmental club have so little faith in her that they jumped on the belated Bernie bandwagon, and still hold on to the hope that Bernie will make a last minute comeback and save the day. The Green party might be able to capture a few budding conspiracy theorists though if they more heavily advertise the fact that they intend to do a more full–fledged investigation of 9/11 and the Bush Administration. It’s okay, Jill. You’ll probably beat the aforementioned Harambe submission.

felt like the high hadn’t hit and decided to light a joint.

Fascinated by the flame, someone accidentally put her phone near the fire and with intrigue she decided to let it sit there. After scorching through the case, the screen went dark and wouldn’t turn back on. While not quite sober, she tried to go to the Apple Store to have her phone fixed, but the employees just stared and laughed at her and her fried phone as she tried to explain herself.

While that sophomore was putting her “foot in her mouth” another one was literally putting her “foot in the door.” One Chi–O sophomore and her beSDT friend came home to find the glass inner door of her apartment building locked. She huffed and she puffed and she kicked her basic white converse straight through the door, wedging her ankle between two large sheets of glass and shattering any plans of breaking and entering with ease. Neither she nor the sideline siSDTer could lift the glass and free her, so two sophomore knights in shining Vineyard Vines and one police officer—who coincidentally had taken a selfie with our damsel in distress a mere two weeks prior—came to her rescue. Since they'd already broken the ice, the cop

Incest enabler: Come on, you’d totally date him if he wasn’t your brother.

Girl whose seance was ruined: I can't believe they didn't have sage at FroGro. Someone probably not in Castle: Well I’m from Canada, so I’m, like, kind of international.

Girlfriend of softboy: I grew up with a dad being like, ‘You’re a pussy,’ and he grew up with his sister being like, ‘I have two uteruses,’ you know?

(Ed. note: No, we don't know.)

Girl who takes the Piña but no Colada: I don’t even want to go to Vegas. I mean, I don’t even like sugary drinks.

Mom we don't want to mess with: I will rip every extension out of your pretty little head.

didn’t really care that she'd broken the glass and decided that everyone involved could go on with their night.

But perhaps some places are better left un–entered—namely the Atlantis Gentlemen's Club. On a wild night of reliving his college glory days, one alum decided to put his new disposable income to good use.

On his way out of the Chestnut Street strip club, the former swimmer got caught in the nets of one of the club’s exotic dancers. Highbrow hears that the dancer engaged him and asked him if “he had enough money for this,” to which his Wharton degree replied, “Yes.” Things got even more interesting on the post–grad side of things, when another alum managed to make the MERT list of the night. Nothing says networking like being under the care of the Doctor you interned with during your Senior year at Penn.

Oh, and shout out to the senior girl who got her daily dose of broccoli and cha–cha'd with (read: fucked) D.R.A.M. The Round Up is a gossip column and the stories are gathered though tips and word of mouth. Although we verify all the information in the Round Up with multiple sources, the column should be regarded as campus buzz and not as fact.

YOU'RE NOT HOOKING UP WITH ANYONE, AND THAT'S OKAY

We know the terminology: Hookup. Fuck boy. Bae. Some chick/guy I’ve banged twice, but only because we had a decent Bumble conversation. We’ve broken these down, subverted them in our played–out and unoriginal discussions about “Penn’s hook up culture”.

But at some point, we’ve all secretly, or not, wanted a consistent figure in our romantic lives. We’ve wanted those labels.

Yes, hooking up is often meaningless. And yes, a fair amount of Penn probably doesn’t know what a real emotional connection feels like when they’re too busy having shitty sex after an even shittier date night. But when everyone around you seems to be hooking up, it’s hard not to ask yourself—why can’t that be me?

If you aren’t hooking up with anybody, that’s completely okay. Embrace it, and these questions will all disappear faster than your dignity (and cash) after a post–Smokes’ Wishbone run.

I came into college fresh off of a big breakup. I spent most of freshman year doubting I would ever be able to be happy again—truly happy, like the constant joy you get from an amazing relationship. From knowing that you have a best friend who worries when you worry, who’s happy when you are. I was desperately clawing for that feeling again, but I also found myself drawn to the glamor of single life.

I was torn in between wanting to fall in love again, and wanting to always be that guy some girl was hooking up with.

Every romantic experience I had that year, meaningless and meaningful, defined my happiness. It was a debilitating cycle of connection, hopeful expectation and disappointment: Meet a girl, attempt to flirt with her via Snapchat for a few weeks, build her up in my head as The One, maybe hook up with her, feel awesome for a couple days, continue to build her up, and then crash down back onto square one when I realize it was all just a casual, fleeting thing (or nothing at all) that I foolishly prioritized and overanalyzed.

Whether or not anything ever did happen with a girl, I consistently let that last

It’s a dangerous way to live, because I was allowing my relationship status to define my own happiness.

“I haven’t been truly happy since senior year of high school,” I’d think to myself, “and now I’m disappointed by every failed attempt to get that back.”

But several months later, everything changed. “The One” came into my life! We met in an organic setting, Illustration by Anne Marie Grudem through mutual friends; I asked her right.

EGOOF THE WEEK: CONNOR SWORDS

If this Management TA, Wharton Council co–chair and president of Fiji has time to explore Philadelphia and its coffee shops, so do you.

Street: What would you say is one thing about M&T that people don’t usually know?

Connor Swords: M&T students tend to be really active on campus, which is something that not a lot of people would guess.

Whenever we have new students coming in trying to learn about the program, they always ask, 'Do you guys have time to do things outside of school? Do you have social lives? Are you involved in organizations?' Overall, M&Ts are as active as the average Penn student, if not more.

Wharton, recognize clubs, we recognize new clubs when they come to us with a new idea.

We have events for getting club leaders to get to know each other.

And we bring in lecturers to talk to them about different ways to lead their clubs. Then the next side is Traditions, which are the annual events that we hold. So we mostly have events that are meant to be kind of fun, distract students from some of the other stresses with school or work. One coming up is Wharton Pumpkin Patch this week.

Street: What activities are you involved in on campus?

CS: I’m one of the co–chairs for Wharton Council, I’m a Management 100 TA, I’m the president of Fiji and I’m a facilitator for this program called Wharton Roundtables, which is a mental health initiative where you just have open conversations related to Wharton as a school.

Street: How often do you have discussions?

CS: Generally they’re once a month. We really just send out an email to all Wharton students and say, 'We’re having this discussion forum, for you to discuss any kind of challenges or any concerns.' We don’t really come up with any agenda. It’s just an hour long of talking. It's surprisingly really constructive even though we don’t really put any format into the discussion.

We usually have 10–15 students per session.

Street: Can you talk about how you got to be a Management 100 TA? CS: So like all Wharton freshmen, I took the class my freshman fall, and enjoyed it and thought it was an introduction to the school that was very different than any class I had taken before.

And my TA, Tim Flank, was pretty influential for me in my freshman year. So he really led me through freshman year, answered my questions, not just about the class but about other things when I had them. He kind of set the example of a mentor that I thought was really cool and something I really wanted to be. That’s what got me to apply. Since then, I’ve had three different teams. One thing I always stress with those teams is, 'Yes, I’m primarily attached to the class, but I’m much more focused on making sure you guys are successful in school outside of this class and outside of classes themselves.'

Street: What do you do for Wharton Council?

CS: There are kind of two branches to what Wharton Council does. The first is overseeing the clubs, which is what I’ve been primarily involved in in my past three years with Council.

We provide funding for all of

Street: Having actually worked in a field that you’re going to continue in, would you say there are any skills that management taught you that you’ve applied?

CS: I think one of the most important ones that is kind of overlooked is the process of

getting and receiving feedback.

The class made me much more comfortable being very open with members of the team. Both in times when I’m like saying something good that they’ve done, and also times when I’m suggesting something that they could do differently—it’s just a transparency and honesty that I think is really important for any team that is core to Management 100.

Street: Would you say you apply any of that to being president of Fiji?

CS: Yeah, I would say so. As a TA, you’re overseeing a team of ten students. A fraternity is slightly larger than that, but nevertheless, there’s a diversity of perspectives and opinions on that team, where it’s your job to make sure everything is going well. Just like a fraternity where I wouldn’t step in and organize something that our philanthropy chair was doing, making sure that he has ownership over his work. It’s kind of the same way with being a TA. You have to make sure everything is going well without becoming too involved in the affairs of the students. So I think that’s been a valuable way of learning how to be a facilitator rather than someone who’s actively telling everyone what to do.

Street: If you are what you eat, then what are you?

CS: Some kind of barbecue.

It has to be something that’s slightly Southern. We'll say barbecue sandwich.

Street: There are two types of people at Penn…

CS: I would say it’s the people who stay on campus and the people who get off campus. Or the people who are confined

PENN'S BEST

HALLOWEEN

COSTUMES 2016 Honoring the ladies with the clever pop culture references, and the handful of guys who didn't wear a sports jersey this year. BY MIKE COYNE AND LIZ HEIT

While you threw on some animal ears/randomly assembled some items from your closet and lied about it being thought out, others actually took Halloween to the next level. And by the next level, we mean full conceptualized costumes (it’s not that high of a bar, tbh). So if you’re looking for ideas for next year, decided to stay in this past weekend and missed out on the festivities, or just want to marvel at the genius of some fellow Quakers, check out Street’s picks for some of 2016’s best Halloween costumes.

NORTH WEST & BLUE IVY Tate Gale & Spencer Winson (C '17)

Though this costume idea has been around for a couple years, we applaud this duo for the puns, but mostly for Spencer's exceptional use of glitter.

LIBERTARIAN LIBRARIAN Mackenzie Lukas (W '19)

Gary Johnson doesn’t really have much of a shot, but this costume is still killer. Featuring topical political commentary, a relatively sensible shoe, weed socks, a hint of sexy librarian—just enough, though—this look has it all.

TITS OUT FOR HARAMBE

BLADES OF GLORY

Just when we thought the mourning was laid to rest, we were classily reminded that Harambe died for all of us. Thank you, Miss Corson, for bringing this particular issue back into the popular zeitgeist.

Channeling the artistry of ice skating pair Jimmy MacElroy and Chazz Michael Michaels, these two seniors truly captured the dream, and brought back fond memories from the 2007 Will Ferrel flick.

TECH FOR STAYING

WARM

TECH

Winter is Coming. If you're like me, the thought of an East Coast winter fills you with a sense of impending doom. You don't want to trade sneakers for snow boots or break out your winter coat.

Mentions of the "wind tunnel" and "polar vortex" make you want to Usain Bolt your way to California. But regardless of your opinion on the matter, soon you'll be rocking a red–nosed Rudolph look and wondering if you have frostbite on your butt or are just imagining it. Street wishes we could buy everyone one–way tickets to Malibu but we can't.

Instead we did the next best thing—we researched wearable technology for staying warm.

I, Robot.

HEATED CLOTHING

Exo2 Exo2 is the leading developer of heated clothing in Europe. They sell insulated, rechargeable body warmers ($140–$180) that create cocoons of heat. Products are supplied with power packs and chargers. It's a little weird to imagine charging your clothes but this way you'll be able to build all the snowmen you want.

While Exo2 was created with equestrians and motorcyclists in mind, VoltHeat was created by people who are passionate about powder skiing in untracked backcountry—I mean, same. Their vests ($115–$200) and gloves ($130–$220) use a Zero Layer heating system that's both lightweight and effective. During my ski trips this winter, I'll be wearing their products along with their toasty hand and toe warmers ($27, $40).

HEATED ACCESSORIES

You need a S'well water bottle ($35)—yes, yes you do.

These incredible bottles keep drinks cold for 24 hours and hot for 12, meaning you can sip piping hot beverages all day long. If you're high maintenance and consider Philly an arctic tundra, you can also spring for Hammacher Schlemmer's pajama warming pouch ($40) and Remedy's heat–sensi-

tive memory foam sleep mask ($20).

HEAT THERAPY

Venture Heat makes heat therapy wraps ($100–$150) designed to help your body recover, rehabilitate or stay warm. Perfect for injured athletes, shivering students or ladies on their periods, heat therapy wraps are a safe and effective form of pain/cold weather relief.

THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT

Supply Company makes heated, microwire jackets ($350) and vests ($240) that pair with a wireless heat control app.

You can change your jacket's temperature at any time by adjusting the app's thermogauge.

It's like crawling inside your high rise's heating system while having its thermostat at your fingertips.

Now Serving Poke!

HEATED INSOLES

Digitsole makes hand and toe warmers look lame and so last century. Digitsole's heated insoles ($110) warm your feet, support your arches and track your daily activity. The insoles connect to an app that lets you adjust the temperature of each foot, track your daily steps and see how many calories you've burned. Technology is wild.

ARTS

CYCLES OF LIFE, DEATH AND REVOLUTON The Offering, a monumental painting by Saturino Herrán, confronts you at the entrance of “Paint the Revolution: Mexican Modernism, 1910–1950,” the recently–opened show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Six figures and the boat they inhabit fill the frame; two men stand, another sits and rests, a woman kneels with a child strapped to her back and the last, a child, glowers out of the frame. Undulating mounds of orange marigolds pile around them and engulf them like fire. The central figure, strained under his own burden of the flowers, wears brilliant white and stands crucified by the boat’s oar.

Herrán is known for his modern approach to capturing scenes like the one in The Of-

fering, scenes of everyday life.

Marigolds, placed on altars and graves on the Day of the Dead, lay alongside individuals of all ages. The piece is a testament to the cyclical quality of life—its thick strokes of paint and mottled blocks of color add to its feeling of rushed ephemerality, its emphasis on the moment. This feeling of change, of a cyclic existence, works well to open the show. Past The Offering, you quickly become aware of change and the action of time moving forward.

Throughout the exhibition, timelines mark the history of the Mexican Revolution.

Starting with the resignation of the despotic President Porifirio Díaz in 1911, the show follows closely the chronol-

ogy of the tumultuous period. Pieces from early in the Revolution exhibit mexicanidad— an aesthetic distinctly Mexican in character with roots in the country’s natural landscape and traditions.

This quality never really goes away; it only manifests in different ways. It can be seen in the nationalistic pieces that came out of the strong government support of the arts beginning in the 1920s and in the works

of the avant-garde who sought to forge the country’s political and artistic destiny.

Notable about the show is its commitment to the digital humanities. There was really no other choice in presenting works of the great Mexican muralists Diego Rivera, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros, though.

Orozco’s The Epic of American Civilization, painted in the Baker-Berry Library at Dartmouth College, is projected as a constantly panning video on a wall deep in the gallery. Accompanying tablets allow visitors to scroll through the work and read about each part of the cycle, which details Latinx history from before the conquest of the Americas to the modern industrial age. The effect is immersive and offers a noble imitation of the real work.

Though full of monumental political pieces by “the big three” muralists and the now ubiquitous Frida Kahlo, "Paint the Revolution" offers a surprisingly intimate look into the lives of Mexican artists, too.

Manuel Rodriguez Lozano and

Abraham Ángel’s dual portraits of each other hang one above the other. Above is Lozano’s portrait of Ángel, who glares out sideways from the canvas against a background of blue and green scales. Below, Lozano’s sharp profile stands out against a hazy sky. The two artists were lovers and the paintings persist to memorialize their relationship; Lozano painted his portrait of Ángel after his death, the gallery description details.

The kitschy Frida paraphernalia, calavera molds and plastic wrapped papel picado of the exhibition gift shop is almost unsettling after walking through “Paint the Revolution.” It doesn’t do justice to the depth of history exhibited just a few feet prior. The show is expansive in what it presents and moving in its expansiveness. It provides a history lesson to rival anything that might be given at Penn.

Note: Admission to the PMA is free the first Sunday of every month and every Wednesday from 5–8:45 p.m.

MANAGING

ARTS & MENTAL HEALTH

From November 16–23, Alcocer and Art Associates (AAA), a group of ten Wharton students, will be hosting an art exhibit and auction in Claudia Cohen Hall. The art is created by patients at CareLink Community Support Services, a non–profit organization that works to provide adults with mental disabilities the tools to lead independent lives.

Mental health is a widespread and worrisome health issue in Philadelphia. According to the City of Philadelphia’s Community Health Assessment, 19.9 percent of adults in Philadelphia had been diagnosed with a mental health condition in 2014.

The nature and intensity of these conditions may vary, but regardless of the degree of severity, mental health conditions can be debilitating, and some can find it difficult to manage their conditions while maintaining a stable and secure life.

CareLink is one of the groups in Philly that addresses the issue, serving around 1,000 of those individuals with mental illnesses. CareLink provides them with support, housing and assistance with jobs. Additionally, CareLink encourages its residents to participate in the arts over the years, including both visual arts and music, organizing events and workshops for them. CareLink believes that arts “hold great power to assist people in their recovery.”

Now, where exactly do the Wharton students come in? “It’s a Management 100 team,” explains Charles Li (W '20), the media outreach coordinator for the group. “It was more randomly chosen, I want to say. But we still

bonded well together, and we managed to create an event for another organization in three short months.”

Although CareLink residents have worked with Management 100 teams in the past and have sold their artwork through these shows, this will be the first time that they hold an auction of the items.

Street spoke to members of AAA who pointed out that mental health and the stigma attached to mental illnesses are very relevant issues to Penn students. “You know at Penn, we all have our Penn Face, everyone thinks that everyone’s okay, and we have this negative perception of mental illnesses,” said Rachel Leong (W '20), the member in charge of contacting behavioral health organizations. “We’re just trying to show them these artists at CareLink, they have made something out of their lives, they’re doing what they love, and it’s possible for anyone to do that.”

One of the Auction and Sales coordinators, Feyi Makinde, (W '20), mentioned that because of the different kinds of stigma attached to mental illnesses in different communities, the event may be even more helpful. “I know that in certain parts of our community, like certain ethnic groups, mental illness may be more stigmatized than in the general Penn body,” she said, "so I think it’s really important that even if you’re not used to talking about mental health, come to this event and learn more about it!”

The opening night event on November 16 will be from 5–7 p.m. It will be free to all, with multiple sponsors

including Insomnia Cookies, and booths from various on– campus and off–campus organizations including CAPS and Penn Wellness.

There will be a speaker from CAPS to address mental health and stigma of mental health, and an auction of the art created by the artists. Additionally,

CLARIS PARK Wharton undergraduates organize an art show and auction to destigmatize mental illnesses.

there will be prints and smaller art pieces in the sub–$10 price range, for those on a student budget who want to

show their support.

To attend the event, RSVP on their website by November 1.

On the sidelines of history Students who can't vote watch the election unfold | by caroline simon

T

he night was briskly cold, but college junior Kami Stavreva, along with over seven thousand other Philadelphians, was undeterred.

She came to see Hillary Clinton’s October rally in Penn Park and waited patiently for the presidential nominee to take the stage. After a man in front of Kami asked if she was registered to vote, the College junior replied that she couldn’t—Kami lived in the Czech Republic until she was six and has a green card, a document that officially grants permission for immigrants to live in the country, but no U.S. citizenship.

“He just gave me a look that was like—why are you even here?” she said. “It felt like it was wrong for me to be trying to be politically active because I couldn’t vote.”

Kami is one of many Penn students who are not American citizens—according to the 2015–2016 common data set, around 11 percent of undergraduates identified themselves as nonresident aliens. These students’ statuses range from visa–holders to green card recipients to undocumented immigrants. Unable to vote, these students are held static while the country they reside in faces one of its most contentious presidential elections.

They are witnesses of a contest in which many of the bitterest debates have focused on issues of race and immigration, at a time when America’s white majority is shrinking and political correctness has become a partisan issue. They are the subjects of some of the harshest political back–and– forths, yet they can only watch from the sidelines in horror as the drama unfolds.

However, that hasn’t stopped them from following the twists and turns of the election and finding ways to make a political difference outside the polling booth.

The national rhetoric that has characterized the race has, in many cases, spurred Penn’s non–citizens to become politically active in other ways in a push to elect candidates whose views align with theirs.

And it certainly hasn’t prevented them from taking a hard look at the anti–immigrant sentiment that has risen to the fore during this particular presidential battle—and what it might say about America.

A

few weeks ago, College senior Daisy Romero had dinner with her younger sister and brought up the presidential election.

But her sister didn’t want to talk about it. For most Penn students, the election sparks excitement, fascination, anticipation—for the Romeros, it’s terrifying.

“It’s been stressful on so many levels,” Daisy said.

“Uncertainty is pretty much the big word that’s just in the back of our minds a lot.”

Daisy and her sister are undocumented immigrants from Mexico. They came to the United States with their parents on tourist visas nearly 13 years ago and have lived in San Antonio, Texas ever since. They don’t have green cards but are beneficiaries of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals—a 2012 Obama executive order that provides two–year work permits to undocumented immigrants who entered the country as children.

After years of hard work, navigating complex policies and enduring backlash from those who’d rather not have them in the country, the sisters eventually found themselves at Penn.

Penn is one of a handful of American universities that make themselves available to undocumented students.

Although students vary on whether they choose to be “out”—or public—about their status, many have formed a close community.

But for Daisy, graduation is looming—and so is the prospect of living outside of Penn’s safety net, exposed to the distaste and discrimination that many undocumented immigrants face.

“It was an easy transition, but it’s becoming very uncertain now because of the elections,” she said.

“This is like a safe haven, like a little bubble.”

Like Daisy, Kami is well aware of the negativity surrounding immigrants and the challenges she could face as a non–citizen.

“People have this vision of immigration that’s just people flooding the country and trying to steal the U.S. from true Americans,” she said.

And in an election cycle marked by bitterly divisive rhetoric and a seemingly endless stream of scandals, non–voters at Penn have grown disillusioned with the way immigrants have been portrayed by some politicians seeking to govern them.

College and Wharton junior Amos Leow, who was born and raised in Singapore, sees Trump’s ascendance as proof that America is not as welcoming to foreigners as it likes to believe.

“It’s really annoying, because [the election is] going to affect so many people that don’t even get a say in it.”

1 2 3 4 T H S T R E E T M A G A Z I N E N O V E M B E R 3 , 2 016

“I’m a bit appalled at the sort of antagonism about people from other countries,” he said. “If Trump, for example, does come to power, that means that xenophobia against foreigners is very real.”

Skepticism and distaste for immigrants, especially among Conservative Americans, has not always been so pointed. Before 2006, Republicans and Democrats’ views on immigrants tracked each other closely, according to Pew Research.

In the last ten years, though, the issue has become sharply partisan—as of April 2016, 78 percent of Democrats believed that immigrants strengthened the country while only 35 percent of Republicans said the same.

College senior Emma Jenkins, an international student from Lichfield, England, couldn’t help but notice similarities in the anti–immigrant sentiment that fueled Trump’s rise and the concerns over foreigners that motivated the United Kingdom to leave the European Union.

“It definitely makes one feel unwelcome,” she said.

“International students have a right to be here… It’s essentially saying that we don’t want anyone non–American here.”

H

owever, this election’s focus on anti–immigration has prompted non–citizens who feel targeted by anti–immigrant rhetoric to become more politically active.

Michael Jones–Correa, a political science professor who researches immigration and the political incorporation of immigrants, has found that non–citizens are often just as politically engaged as citizens, if not more.

During an election cycle when they have more at stake, they are even more motivated to get involved.

“This [election], I’m sure, has mobilized people more,” Jones–Correa said. “There’s probably no question that, as immigration is a very high–profile issue, people get more engaged than they would be otherwise, and that’s been truer with every election cycle.”

Although these students cannot participate politically by exercising the fundamental political right, their non–voter status often drives them to engage in other ways. Daisy, a political science major, has been working to register voters on campus even though she is unable to vote herself.

“I’m doing everything I can on my end to ensure not just that Trump doesn’t get elected, but that people start becoming more civically engaged—that is very important to me.”

Kami, too, says she has been talking to her friends to

make sure they’re registered to vote, and even made sure her friend changed his registration so he would be able to vote in Philadelphia.

Luckily Penn—which has a substantial population of non–citizens—offers several opportunities for political activity outside of just casting a ballot.

“Within the Penn community, doing stuff like registering or maybe even doing work on campaigns can be a substitute for the experience of voting,” said Marc Meredith, a political science professor.

For other students, the election has provided a unique opportunity to fight for particular political issues, even if voting isn’t an option.

College junior Linda Lin, who is from Beijing, China, attended Hillary Clinton’s campaign launch in New York City last June. A feminist and advocate of women’s rights, Linda doesn’t think she would pay nearly as much attention if both major party nominees were men.

“It’s interesting—because this is something that has never happened before,” she said.

D

eep down, though, it can be frightening for immigrants and international students to remain on the outside of a presidential election that feels like a turning point in history.

It’s not just that surrogates like Elizabeth Banks and Sara Bareilles visit campus to campaign for Clinton almost weekly, or that Penn’s collection of political student groups have flooded campus with election–related events.

It’s not just that professors in departments ranging from political science to English have found ways to incorporate the election into their classes, or that department and club listservs are filled with emails exhorting students to vote.

Talk of the election and the two choices the country faces is omnipresent—and in such a contentious election, citizens have the comfort of being able to exercise their civic duties by voting. Non–citizens, however, get no such comfort, and can only sit back and watch.

“It’s really annoying, because [the election is] going to affect so many people that don’t even get a say in it,” Emma said. “It’s a little bit frustrating.”

Jones–Correa argues that America should take a wider view of what it means to be politically active to accom-

modate the swath of non–citizens who play a role in elections.

“I think we need to broaden our definitions of what we mean by politics to move beyond just voting so people are engaged even if they aren’t citizens,” he said.

Still, students expressed a sense of frustration with citizens that can vote and yet choose not to.

As Daisy said, “People see voting as a right, and for us it’s a privilege.”

T

he 2016 presidential election has pushed America to a point of reckoning. Regardless of how the outcome of the election impacts policy, the divisiveness and negativity raised throughout the past 18 months leave America in a vulnerable state. Though the contest will be officially over, the country must grapple with how it will remain unified in the face of the very stark divisions between races, classes, genders and ideologies—particularly when these divisions have been stretched to a breaking point.

For Mymai Yuan, a College senior from Thailand, the anti–immigrant attitude seeps through the election and trickles into daily life.

“I don’t think if [Trump is] elected I’m going to get booted out of the country, but there is such divisive language being used within his party that I feel like I will feel the effects even more so than I have in the past few years,” said Mymai.

For students like Emma, who plan to leave the coun-

try after graduation, the consequences of the election are not a pressing concern. But for Daisy and College junior Pamela Fuentes Rodriguez, another undocumented student, the uncertainty is all–consuming.

“If we get sent back to Mexico—if that’s going to be a thing—what am I going to do? Because I don’t know how to live there,” Pamela worried. “Where are we going to go? Where are we going to live? What’s going to happen?”

Meredith is skeptical that Trump would actually carry out most of his drastic proposals regarding immigration.

But even if he doesn’t win the election at all, the swelling hatred for undocumented immigrants in some pockets of America will remain. For Daisy, that’s a terrifying thought.

“What does that mean? Not only for us, for our families, but for everyone who is ‘part of the problem,’ according to them?” she pondered.

The prospect of having to leave the country after spending most of her life living there and getting an education strikes her as contrary to what she believes America should stand for.

“We can adapt, I guess, but it sucks to think that you worked so hard... and then to have it all be taken away from you,” she said. “It’s very anti–American.”

FEMINIST APPAREL ON CAMPUS Tit–Tee Love.

You may have seen people on Locust rocking shirts with screen printed nipples on them, or “tit–tees,” as College sophomore Abby McGuckin calls them. Or maybe you’ve seen a fluorescent tee with Donald Trump's face surrounded by cats, and the words “Pussy Grabs Back,” created by the group colloquially known as We Are Watching. These fashion campaigns exist at the relatively new intersection of art, activism and apparel on Penn’s Campus.

You probably remember the

group doing art activism in relation to rape culture, sexual violence and feminism.”

Similarly, Abby, who came up with the idea of nipples screen– printed on T–shirts over the summer, noticed that art offers alternate ways to talk about feminist issues “I feel like most things related to feminism are so serious, and they should be, but to have a fun, playful, artistic and abstract view of your body that is not hyper–serious, is a fun way to talk about issues without having to get into a huge ideological

current events, Syra explained.

“It caught on really well, obviously because of the political climate of the country right now and what's happening with the election. Also I think that it’s kind of empowering.

It’s telling Donald Trump, and everyone who thinks like him, that we hear you, and we don’t like it.”

ABBY MCGUCKIN two rape culture protests of We Are Watching: one in which they printed out copies of a sexist email sent to freshmen girls by an off–campus fraternity and pasted them up around campus, the other targeting Trump’s sexist comments. In a conversation with one of the group’s members, Syra Ortiz– Blanes, she clarified that the group was given its name by the Media, but prefers to describe themselves as an “intersectional feminist art collective.” The group has been active on campus, but apparel gave opportunity for the group to engage more people in their mission.

“We did the initial flyering, then we realized that there was a niche on Penn’s campus for artistic self–expression of these issues. There wasn’t really any

argument or bring anything too heavy into it.”

Both of these groups are popular on campus. We Are Watching was so overwhelmed with the Google form for ordering shirts that they had to temporarily stop accepting orders. Both clothing lines have seen success both on Penn’s campus and off, shipping to multiple patrons out of state.

“There are conversations that happen outside of GBMs and there are conversations that happen in GBMs,” said Abby.

“I think these are the perfect way to spark that conversation, or to have that topic explicitly brought out without having to gather people in a formalized space.”

DO YOU HAVE ELECTION STRESS DISORDER? It's a thing, the scientists say so.

Has this election season got you feeling upset, distressed or anxious? Do you find yourself constantly worrying about the future of the country? Does reading the news and watching debates stress you out?

It turns out you’re not alone— according to a survey conducted by the American Psychological Association (APA) 52 percent of American adults reported feeling stressed out by this year’s election.

This varies little depending on which party you belong to—59 percent of Republicans compared to 55 percent of Democrats indicated that the election has been causing them a significant amount of stress. While levels

were almost identical for men (51 percent) and women (52 percent), results varied for each generation, with millennials (56 percent) and seniors (59 percent) being the most affected.

And of course, the permanent presence of social media isn’t helping. 38 percent of people pointed to discussions of politics on social

media as a source of stress.

Therapist and author Steven Stosny, PhD., has coined the term Election Stress Disorder to

describe the distress caused by the presidential race, but anxiety about the presidency isn’t a recent development. Back in January, a Washington Post–ABC News poll indicated that 69 percent of people were worried about a Trump presidency compared with 50 percent of people for Clinton.

It’s not hard to see that this election season has been particularly different from those in the past.

The campaigning has been marked by extremes.

The competition between the two candidates has been heated. Many people are dissatisfied with one or both of the candidates, with several people claiming that they would move to Canada to escape a Trump presidency. The

lack of choice can leave people feeling helpless and hopeless. The presidential race has been polarizing, dividing and alienating.

Steven Stosny, PhD., told the Washington Post, “It’s an election where you’re likely to be against something rather than for something. To be against something you need anger, adrenaline, confirmation bias (seeing only what you believe) and a desire to punish. Being for something generates passion and a desire to make things better.”

However, the campaign trail has also been littered with extensive hate speech. On his race for the White House, Donald Trump has managed to alienate and attack several marginalized groups, including Latinos, immigrants, African Americans, Muslims and women. If you belong to one of those groups, you may feel as if your equality, safety or very presence in this country has been questioned and threatened, and in that case, you could be much more than just worried.

The rhetoric of the debate

has also exposed a lot of tension, anger, discrimination and hate in the population at large—which is also quite scary. The rapid acceleration of the campaign, as well as the quick succession of disastrous events in between debates has also made it feel like it’s something we can’t get away from. So it’s not shocking that this election is causing stress.

So what do you do if you’re experiencing Election Stress Disorder?

The APA recommends limiting media and news consumption, including decreasing time spent on social media, discussing the election less, participating in volunteer work or community service and of course, voting.

It’s disturbing that an election that has yet to happen is already having negative impacts on more than half the population’s mental health, but there are ways to manage that stress, which will be especially important and useful in the next couple of weeks.

After sharing a few consecutive dessert recipes, I’ve decided to take a little break from all of the sugar. I thought I’d share an easy, healthy and addictive snack this week.

I absolutely love any food

that contains chickpeas (I’m looking at you, hummus and falafel). When I was younger, I used to tediously remove the outside skin of each and every chickpea before consuming them. Luckily, I grew out of

that habit, and this recipe does not require you to do so—the most labor it requires is using a can opener.

These roasted chickpeas will satisfy your snack cravings and taste somewhat like

the half–popped kernels you find at the bottom of your bag of microwave popcorn (am I the only one who likes those?). However, unlike those popcorn kernels, roasted chickpeas will not get stuck in

your teeth, and there’re more than three of them for you to eat. Simply open a can of chickpeas, pat them dry with a paper towel, toss them in oil and your favorite spices and bake in the oven.

Meeting Catering From WHAT YOU'LL NEED • • • •

Canned chickpeas (and a can opener) Olive oil Salt and pepper Garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper and/or your favorite spices (optional)

TANDOOR authentic Indian restaurant

Servings: About 1 ¾ cups

PROCEDURE • • • • •

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Open the can of chickpeas, strain them and wash them with water.

Spread the chickpeas out on a towel and pat them as dry as possible.

Put the chickpeas in a bowl and coat them with salt, pepper, olive oil and any other spices you would like to use.

Spread the chickpeas out on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes or until the chickpeas are crunchy and brown.

TIPS AND TRICKS: The skins of the chickpeas may come off as you dry them or coat them. This is completely fine; it doesn’t matter whether the skin is on or off.

Eat these chickpeas plain or in trail mix, on sandwiches or on salads.

On Wednesday night, October 26, the Undergraduate Media and Entertainment club (UME) and business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi (AKPsi) began their Media and Entertainment Week.

Media and Entertainment Week is a week–long conference that provides Penn students who might be interested in the multiple facets of the entertainment industry an opportunity to learn more about the roles and jobs that are offered to them. Through information sessions and alumni panels, Media and Entertainment Week clarifies how to get involved in a world that does not seem easily accessible on Penn’s campus.

For the first night, Chief Administrative Officer of United Talent Agency (UTA), Michael Conway came to the halls of Huntsman to talk to interested students about working as an agent in the talent industry.

UTA is one of the largest globally operated talent and literary agencies in the world. Representing talent in theater, music, television, gaming and even more, Conway explained how UTA provides a full in-house service for any ventures their clients want to get into. But while he explained what UTA does, he also told students what to expect if they want to become an agent.

“If you don’t like to read, this really isn’t the job for you,” Conway explains. “It’s certainly not Ari Gold in Entourage. Most of the agents I know would rather go home and spend time with their family and friends, but most of the time being an agent means being on–call 24/7 for your clients. They’re going to call you every single day and they’re going to want to know one single thing from you: What have you done for me today? Where’s my career

DAYZIA TERRY

going? They don’t really care that you have the flu.”

For all the pains that come with being an agent, Conway did divulge some of the best parts of the job. “If you think about it for a few seconds, these creators, these artists, are actually giving you their entire career in your hands! What doesn’t get said is that you get to be the tastemaker in this business. You get to define what is talent,” he began, “The real wild moment for agents is not going to fancy parties and hanging out with celebrities, it’s you going to a cinema on a Friday night and paying full price for the ticket to a sold out show, and you watch the audience around you go on a visual storytelling journey.”

Working as an agent, as Conway puts it, is not a job of glamour. It’s more tedious than one might realize and not a career you can just pick up. It’s a line of work one truly has to be interested in or they’ll be doomed to fail. But if you are truly interested in it? It’s a very fulfilling process.

For those wondering what to study or do as an undergraduate in order to pursue this line of work, Conway has some advice as well: “I know most of you are programmed to know exactly what you want to do, but I didn’t.

I ended up at UTA. I just knew I wanted to be in entertainment.

I think a lot of you end up in a place that you really didn’t know you were going to end up in.

So my advice to you, is to take a deep breathe and just enjoy being 20–something.”

Media and Entertainment Week finishes this week with their final keynote speaker Matthew Strauss, the EVP of Video at Comcast.

UME'S ENTERTAINMENT ALUM HOMECOMING Three graduated Quakers open up about their experience in entertainment and media.

Friday, October 28's afternoon alumni panel was the third event in Penn UME (Undergraduate Media and Entertainment Club) and Alpha Kappa Psi business fraternity's Media and Entertainment Week. Preceded by an info session by United Talent Agency and a talk by a representative of League of Legends, this panel of recent alums offered advice on how to break into the creative industry.

The event included two Quakers who graduated in 2016: Emily Lipson, currently a photo assistant at Vanity Fair, and Daniel Locker, a current freelance production assistant who has worked at Ogilvy and Mather and CNN in the past. Rounding out the group of speakers was Chadwick Prichard, a 2014 graduate who currently works at Anonymous Content.

Each member took the time to describe what they did at Penn and how it led them to their current careers. Daniel decided to become a communications major after he took Felicity (Litty) Paxton's famed class COMM123: Critical Approaches to Popular Culture, and also founded The Late Night at Penn. Emily split her time doing video and photo work for her dance group Strictly Funk, while balancing coursework in Visual Studies and doing some event photography on the side. Chadwick studied Marketing in Wharton and started an entertainment speaker series with AKPsi. A common thread in all of their advice was the importance of internships and creating and sustaining networks of contacts. All three of the

recent alums got their jobs through someone they either met in an internship during their undergraduate years, a family friend or someone they were put in contact with through an on–campus networking event. In Daniel's words, "The only product you're pushing is you." For this reason, the alums couldn't stress enough the value of freelancing for those self–starting young professionals with a strong sense of personal brand. In her five months at Vanity Fair, Emily has already met freelancers who operate just as efficiently without the corporate constraints, and Daniel spoke of people who have made a decent living freelancing for over 30 years.

The panelists' advice didn't skirt around the harsh reality of the entertainment business and the true standing of its entry– level workers. Daniel spoke of doing coffee runs, making calls and being a general extra set of hands around the shoots. "Do whatever they ask you so they get the shot," he offers, and "make friends at the jobs you work for." Chadwick’s method was similar: "Intern for a few months with people who will call in for you."

This humble work goes hand in hand with the requisite networking component of the media and entertainment industry, as you must not only work cheerily and rapidly, but you must ensure that your work leaves a lasting impression on the employers who hold your recommendation fate in

their hands. In the magazine industry, Emily explains, it's all about what other people need.

"You won't be in a creative role until you've earned it," she continued. And Chadwick, who spends much of his time tracking legal papers and reviewing talent deals, wasn't any

more forgiving, saying "The first job is so hard."

But these young creatives broke into the industry, and the hardest part is behind them. They've found footing in an incredibly tough business and can only move upwards, and are confident that you

can too. In their collective words: don't get scared if you don't get a job right away, put yourself last in your entry–level years, and for god's sake don't be a dick.

FOUR HOURS OF THE DECALOGUE AT PFF A confession: I couldn't make it all the way through. Not for lack of trying, it was just too busy of a weekend. But four hours was long enough time to get a taste of this melancholic masterpiece, just rereleased by the Criterion Collection in all its dreary late–Communist glory two months ago.

Dekalog is Krzysztof Kieślowski's magnum opus, created in 1989 for Polish television. The ten–episode series, also known as The Decalogue, is modeled after the Ten Commandments in both theme and structure (yes, it's ten hours long). Even though it's called a television series, it views more like ten medium–length films, as each vignette stands alone without connection to the others.

Each movie, Dekalog I–X, revolves around a housing project in Warsaw. The huge gray buildings loom over the surrounding blocks, starting in their standardization and chilliness (also strangely reminiscent of the high rises?). None of the characters interact with characters from another chapter, although they do walk in and out of each other's stories as background extras and elevator ride companions.

Kieślowski employed nine different cinematographers to magnify this difference in depth and style.

Dekalog I follows a boy named Paweł and his professor father after the death of his mother, as they pass the days computing physics problems on computers.

This precocious youngster created a program of his mother's

schedule so he can track her former daily activities throughout the day, while discussing the meaning of death and God with his aunt. This first chapter in the season focuses on the limits of blind faith in science, and the ways in which tragedy can shake these deeply held convictions.

It's important to note that each film doesn't comment on an exact commandment, instead speaking to the morality of all ten as a whole. While some might have a direct message like the science vs. God commentary that matches up with the First Commandment's forbiddance of idolatry, it becomes constraining to search for the distilled Mosaic Law in each of the pieces.

Dekalog II centers on a woman whose husband is deathly ill, who must choose to abort her lover's baby or keep it and raise it. And her decision rests on the judgment of the doctor who lives a floor below her in the apartment block, to predict if her husband will live or die.

Dekalog III follows a woman and her ex–lover on Christmas Eve as they search for her missing husband and fail to reignite any part of their former relationship. Dekalog IV has this same familial melancholia, as a young girl in drama school discovers a letter written by her deceased mother that calls into question the blood relation of her suppose father.

My own viewing experience gets into the more difficult logistical details of screening Dekalog.

country and at several international film festivals, it never had a wide American release and wasn't available on tapes in the U.S. until the new millennium. The Philadelphia Film festival took one approach, with breaks after every two chapters, including longer ones for lunch and dinner. But in entirety, this constitutes a 12–hour marathon, one barely attempted by even the most daring of cinephiles, that begins to impede on one's enjoyment of each chapter. The pieces are all relaxing and gorgeous to watch in their details that something seems lost in viewing them Breaking Bad Season 6–style.

All of the films have an unshakeable gloom, magnified by the cookie–cutter landscape of a Poland on the brink of a democratic transition away from communism. The project is personal, not political, however, seen through the lens that seems almost documentarian with its naturalistic cinematography and beautiful grit. In fact, the film is so humanistic in its depictions of social struggles that it almost seems alien, too truthful to be true. And that's probably why I'll shell out the $70 so I can watch the last six chapters with more than a ten–minute break between each.

SENIOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENT MEETS REAL LIVE AMERICAN FOR FIRST TIME SINCE COMING TO PENN How you say, Castle?

Natasha Boulé is a senior in the Huntsman Program hailing from Paris, France. Her parents sent her to Penn so she could soak up the American culture for four years, hoping she might get exposed to new ways of life. As a freshman, she thrived in the program, enjoyed living in her single in the quad and even branched out a little by rushing. After joining Kappa Alpha Theta, however, she only befriended about 50 percent of the sorority, though it is unclear why only half appealed to her.

From sophomore year to senior year, she spent most of her time in Huntsman, Castle/Owls/Zete or hanging out in her room in Domus. It was not until senior year, when she accidentally waved to someone on Locust (who was evidently not her friend Isa), that she met a real live human American. Street caught up with Natasha to find out more about her experience.

Street: So Natasha, can you tell us a little bit more about meeting an American for the first time.

Natasha Boulé: Yes, of course. It was not as frightening as I had heard it was back at home. My friends from Paris have met American students going abroad in some of the clubs in Paris, and the image they painted for me was not pretty. I was shocked by how 'normal' this American girl was.

bit about her?

NB: Sure. She is very nice.

She is from New York City, which I respect, because it’s sort of like dirtier, trashier Paris.

Street: Did you interact with her at all?

NB: I was scared of the language barrier at first. It’s not that my English isn’t good, I was just more worried that her English would be too nasal, but I could understand her perfectly.

Street: Yes. How is it that you are a senior and you have never met an American at Penn before?

NB: You know, I wonder the same thing every day. I guess I always knew they existed at Penn, but it seemed so foreign to me.

Street: Would you ever be interested in meeting a non– New Yorker?

NB: [laughs] Nice trick question! You can’t fool me.

I know that only animals occupy the rest of the states.

America is weird.

THINGS YOU CAN DO NOW THAT YOU'RE STAYING HOME FOR PENN-PRINCETON Once Theos pulled out you know shit got pucking real.

7.

You can FINALLY get lunch with Julie.

Julie has been begging you for lunch for weeks. You see her on Locust Walk as you’re running to "Sex and Human Nature" and she literally always asks you for lunch plans.

But you always get to say no because you’re too busy. Now you’re not too busy. Sucks.

2.

Do a "Sex and Human Nature" reading. You said you joined this class to fulfill requirements even though we KNOW you joined it to SABS, but still, shouldn’t you get something from this three–hour time suck? Also while you’re at it, consider reading your oceanography textbook.

3.

You can start applying for internships for summer 2018. So you didn’t get the job at Bain this time around, but you still think you really deserved it over that M&T kid. Start networking now and bump up your QuakerNet profile while you’re at it. Remember to include the time that you were a camp counselor because it shows your diversity of experience but also that you’re Jewish.

4.

Clean. Even though your mom says that the brown stuff eroding your toilet and sink isn’t normal, you think it’s just been adding a splash of color to your surroundings. Invest in a cleany thingy from CVS and like scrub or whatever.

5.

Cry. This happens every time you’re alone with your thoughts. UGH. It’s amazing what you realize about yourself when you are not drunk. Just remember: It’s okay that you don’t know what you want to do with your life even though everyone around you does and while you’re still young you need experience to get experience so it’s pretty much too late for you anyway also you want to do Teach for America but like Wall Street will help you provide for your family

but like you don’t want to be that Penn student but also you might as well.

6.

Have a seance. You laugh at them, but you’re also hella intrigued.

Also it’s always an answer in one of these stupid lists.

Start Game of Thrones.

It’s okay that you haven’t been watching. You understand that Winter is Coming but you have no freaking idea what it means because it really just sounds like a calendar observation.

Also calling your parents to find out your HBO GO password will make them feel needed and you co–dependent! Win–win.

8.

Watch the Penn– Princeton Game. You have a wayyyy better shot of actually watching the game here than you would have had there. And by watching the game I mean girls sitting in a

fraternity pretending they’re interested because the guys always think it’s SO hot when like, “girls know sports.”
