The Sceney-est Places To Nap At Penn
March 6, 2014 at 10:56 am
Is it just us or is someone sleeping in every public place on campus? It's midterm season. We're tired. But the budding socialite in us all knows that we need still need to SABS. Even when we're taking a study snooze break, our peers are watching.
Here is the OFFICIAL list of the #sceniest places to nap at Penn:
1. The big chairs in Houston
Everybody who's anybody has napped in one of the big chairs on the right side of Houston Hall. Grab your teriyaki bowl, put a book on your lap so it looks like you were just doing something, and snooze away. Be warned though: everyone you know will walk by and stare. But hey, that's what being scene-y is about, right?!?
2. 6th floor of Van Pelt
Any old Quaker can nap on the lower floors of Van Pelt; in the chairs in the basement, the cubicles, the East Asia room on the 5th floor. But you're classier that that! Head up to the Penthouse where you'll surround yourself with rare manuscripts, those people you always see in Van Pelt who are clearly not students and you're like "what is your job?!?!" – and scenic views. (Extra: 6th floor has the nicest bathrooms!)
3. Pottruck
Self-explanatory. Pottruck is the ultimate place to SABS anyways. You couldn't hear because you were asleep on the mats but that girl from your chem lab just said, "Wow! He worked out so hard, he fell asleep! So muscular!"
4. The lobby of the Inn at Penn
Important note: this CANNOT BE SAID about the lobby of the Sheraton.
5. The big booth in Allegro
It's 2:04 a.m. You're just ate 4 slices of pizza. You're just putting your head down for ONE second... It's fine, the someone will wake you up when it's time to go. Is that true love's kiss to break the spell?! No... it's a middle-aged Italian guy telling you you fell asleep in your mac and cheese. Trendy!
6. The spiral staircase in Fisher Fine Arts Only flexible, experienced, well-coiffed nappers need apply.
