2011 was a great year, wasn’t it? Remember all those fun times we had together? You know, besides all those nights at Smoke’s and Blarney and frat parties and downtowns and initiations and BYOs and, and…wait, those all made it kind of hard to remember much, didn’t they? But it was a great year, we promise! So before we head into 2012, we’re taking a look back to remind you of some of the greatest the year had to offer before the world is ravaged by flames and tsunamis and other silly catastrophes. First up: the year’s best guides to life as a Quaker.
There are so (so, so) many free coffees, sandwiches, bagels, froyos, and salads to be had around campus. This comprehensive guide features every way to get your gratis grub on. Read the rest of this entry »
It’s your second all-nighter in a row and you’re kicking yourself in the face for putting all your work off this weekend while you blacked out at formal only to wake up in bed next to your little. You’ve lost track of time, every day has the dreaded feel of a Sunday night, and you’ve refreshed your Facebook newsfeed so often that wishing that rando NSO hookup a happy birthday is starting to seem like a good idea.
Just in time for procrastination season, a new blog has hit the Penn scene. Her Campus — the self-proclaimed “#1 online magazine for college women” (read: the weepy college girl’s next logical progression from Seventeen) — has relaunched its Penn branch today.
Tune in to find out important things like what to do with that morning hair of yours, how to break up with your BFF while still getting her class notes for Psych, and where to find the hottest winter drinks around campus.
It’s Sunday afternoon, you’re holed up in VP and what are you doing? Not studying, of course. Though many of us have honed the valuable skills necessary to hunt for undiscovered Netflix treasure and still submit that paper on time, there’s always room for improvement (after all, practice makes perfect, right?). Behold, dear readers, UTB’s Ultimate Guide To Procrastination(on-on-on)!:
UTB’S ULTIMATE GUIDE TO PROCRASTINATION

Remember that thing that saved your summer internship by changing your Facebook newsfeed into an Excel spreadsheet? It’s back with a vengeance, offering themes for any type of computer as well as Twitter integration. The Twitter part is a little buggy, but when it works it’s a whole new level of distraction. Go forth and procrastinate, again!
We know all you wanna do right now is mope about all the finals you have to study for and the papers that won’t write themselves. We get it. But in an annoyingly optimistic post brought to you by the girl down your hall who won’t wipe that stupid smile off her face, UTB would like to take this time to remind you of all the things that could be worse than finals.
Scroll on down for the 10-item list we compiled that’s sure to induce just the right amount of schadenfreude to get you through the day. (Do it. You’re obviously procrastinating anyway; at least be productive about it.)
People Of Van Pelt — And so it begins. It's just getting sunny out and you're starting to get in reading days/ finals mode (ughhh). So why don't you begin procrastinating with Ego's People of Van Pelt special?
Now that JuicyCampus is but a mere memory, everyone needs a new way to put off doing homework. Sure, you could play that game where you stare at someone in Van Pelt until they look up and make eye contact with you, followed by the awkward look-look away-look-look away scenario, but that gets old really fast.
Funny, essentially worthless websites are really your best bet, which is why Ruminations has replaced JuicyCampus on my FireFox bookmark bar. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m not even going to check whether this is photoshopped or not. Fake or real, this is AWESOME. And if this wasn’t cool enough for you, at least this might keep you from ever going in the ocean again.
