imageWe know that maintaining such ~impressive~ grades is expensive: late-night espresso shots to get you through that Huntsman all-nighter really add up. Alas, Penn Bookstore to the rescue! Just give ‘em your “Best Piece of Advice” and you could win a $50 gift card as part of the Time to Shine Sweepstakes. What kind of advice are they looking for? And what exactly is the Time to Shine Sweepstakes? We have no idea. But there’s money involved, so who really cares.

Calling All "Prostitution Whores"– "Real Housewives of New Jersey" and "Celebrity Apprentice" humanlike Vessel of Evil Teresa Giudice will be visiting the Penn Bookstore on June 13th to sign copies of her new cookbook Fabulicious!: Fast & Fit, because why not? Mark your calendars now, friends!

Dan Savage’s Wardrobe Gets Better

Just one night after Dan Savage spoke at Zellerbach, the LGBT activist cruised on down to American University for a little chat as well…and showed up wearing this fine piece of Penn apparel. Looks like someone might have under-packed for his college tour. We just hope he didn’t recycle his jokes underwear.

Penn Holiday Shopping: Bookstore Bursaring

You’re broke.  We get it. That doesn’t mean you’ll need to skimp on buying gifts this time of year because bursar’s coming to the rescue!

Penn Flying Colors Scarf and Shelter Ribbed Hat
$169.96
On your bursar-funded shopping spree, you can’t pass this combo up. At the listed price, we can only assume that these gifts are made of unicorn hair and hand-sewn by Amy herself.  So give the Gutmanniac in your life something special– and when mom asks what you bought at the bookstore, tell her it was a textbook!

We’ve got more gifts for you to add to your shopping list after the jump!

What’s HapPENNing?

Alright, guys, this is it: the last week of school. Well, the last week of school with classes. How did this happen so quickly? What ever happened to this semester? What ever happened to our youth? What ever happened to…EVERYTHING?! While you’re crying about this and the fact that you may be moving away from Penn for the summer, think about all the crazy stuff happening on campus this week!

Keds “How Do You Do?” Tour
Who: Keds
When and where: Tuesday, 2-6 p.m.; College Green
Why: Keds is coming to Penn as part of their national “How Do You Do?” tour! You’ll get to design your own shoes, listen to local bands and see artists paint a huge mural, because apparently that’s how Keds do.

College T-Shirt Contest

In the spirit of fighting over the designs for your frat/sorority/eco-group Fling shirt/pinny/leotard, the folks at the College Dean’s Advisory Board bring you its annual T-shirt contest.

Voting opens today and ends on April 6th, so if you’re equipped with an SAS address, check out the designs here, and then send one e-mail to casubmissions@penndab.org with your favorite design’s number as the subject line (ex. #1, #2, #3—but not #4, because let’s face it, that one’s just lazy).

Then stay tuned and watch your hard work pay off when your choice hits the shelves of the Penn Bookstore.
