Things That Are Worse Than Finals III

It’s day 3 of finals and you’re smacking  yourself for not doing the reading in any of your classes. Suddenly, Psych, Marketing and Environmental Science don’t seem like “all common sense” anymore.

Next semester’s gonna be totally different, you tell yourself. And you’re even gonna take notes! In a real, live notebook! Designed by Lisa Frank.

While this promise will probably be kept about as well as the time you swore off Greek Lady for a week, we want to believe you. And in the spirit of this uplifting trust,we bring you the third installment of this optimistic feature. (Parts 1 and 2 can also be found after the jump.) Update: All the links work properly now! Sorry for the confusion.

Best Of 2011: Now That’s Music

From frat-rappers to video game musicians, Penn’s had some pretty epic musical moments over the past year.  We’ve picked 11 of our favorite memories to share with you.  In no particular order, we proudly present our best Penn music flashbacks from 2011:

Fire Burning (Harnwell Remix) by 2403 Productions
When you mix club music with the wonderful lullaby of college house fire alarms, you come out with a tune that offers a ton of functionality.  Scaring away an annoying hallmate is definitely maybe an option.

Rock It Out by Rossman
This is the hit that started it all!  Produced and performed by Penn students, this music video features Philly landmarks and clips from a party in the Quad, and by a party in the Quad we actually mean Fling.

Adrenaline by Nick Mishkin
We are awarding 2011 UTB bucks for a music video filmed at Smoke’s but subtracting 2012 because it’s not the only video filmed at Smoke’s that made it to our list.

Check out the rest of the list after the jump!

Have Some Mellon for Dessert!

First more baseball players, and now, more Penn models! Rising senior Grant Mellon (W ’12) pouted and posed for photographer Bruce Weber on ClickBlog. How nice to see another Beta bro putting his all into a visual display of unbounded self-confidence (hello Rossman’s “rockin’” music vid).

Apparently, Mellon is not new to the modeling scene. He strutted his stuff in the DZine2Show fall fashion show after winning…this. While rumors about the photos’ connection to Abercrombie & Fitch have yet to be confirmed, there’s no denying that elephants and small children really do make fantastic football groupies.
