Best Of 2011: Guides To Life At Penn

Picture-18

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.

Punch Cards At Penn

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.

Procrastination

Because finding creative ways to put off what you can do today until tomorrow (or, better yet, three weeks from tomorrow) never goes out of style.

Refreshing Study Spaces

With finals still traumatically fresh in your memory, the thought of stepping foot in Van Pelt or Huntsman probably sends you into the fetal position. Take this break to get your mind off work, but don't be afraid to head into spring semester with some fresh ideas about where to delve into your scholarly pursuits.

Matching Your Poop to the Campus Eatery it Came From 

Something gave you a terrible bout of bowel disruption, but what? That bubble tea? That fancy salad? That giant fried dough pocket filled with old pepperoni, cheese and evil? Take a peek inside to find out the answer.

Being Single on Valentine's Day

Sure, it's only December, but Valentine's Day arrives only a month after returning to campus. For all you singles out there, you can put in the effort to snag yourself a mate in a month's time or take it easy, sink into your comfy couch, and brush up on how to make it through February 14 with your emotions intact.

Satisfying Your Munchies

That 50-piece McNugget meal seems like a good idea. It isn't. Read up on some satisfying alternatives instead.
