If It's Good Enough For Adam Lambert, It's Good Enough For Us

Nothing helps us college kids place a value on our education (and selves) more than highly relevant rankings and not at all arbitrary point values assigned by respectable publications. In fact, ever since this one, we've been feeling about as special as the 83rd item in any list does.

However, if you've experienced any altitude sickness or vertigo today, you can blame it on moving up through the ranks! According to The Daily Princetonian (we all get their breaking news reports e-mailed to us, right?) Penn was ranked No. 4 in the U.S. News & World Report's "Best Colleges 2010." This coveted spot beneath Harvard, Princeton, and Yale (ranked No. 1, No. 1, and No. 3 respectively), is one that we have the privilege of sharing with California Institute of Technology, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Stanford University.

The issue hits news stands tomorrow, so you better wake up early, run with scissors to your nearest magazine vendor, buy several copies (but not so many that other people won't get a chance to see how good your school and the three others are), cut out the page on which Penn appears from two of them, tape one to your shirt, and take the other one home, where you should have a picture frame ready and waiting to receive it.
