Green is the new black. An Amish couple and their son examine the Ben Franklin statue outside College Hall yesterday in color-coordinated outfits. Class of 2013, anyone?

Our friend Brian Hwang writes in with some observations on the Penn student body.

NB to Tae: stole this from your FB album, is that ok?

We’re not sure what it is about the ninety-degree heat that brings out the hotness is all of us, but everyone seems much more attractive today than they did during the rainy season in between Fling and last weekend. In the past few days, excessive temperatures have brought out the gladiator sandals, high-waisted skirts and oversized sunglasses that make the Penn face so much more appealing. Whatever it is, hopefully it continues after the air conditioning turns on and finals begin.

Want to release your inner Bard before finals eat up your life? Celebrate the end of National Poetry Month by hitting up College Green this afternoon between 2 and 4 for an open-mic poetry jam. Fuel your massive crush on Exelano and cheer on local schoolchildren from the Heartspeak poetry-writing program, who will be reading their original works. It’ll be a sunny day on the Green, so where else would you rather be? (Hint: NOT HERE.)
