Daily Beast Graces Us With Yet Another Ranking

screen_shot_20141109_at_51015_pm

Not that we need another worthless ranking to identify with or anything, but the Daily Beast just ranked Penn as the #21st happiest college! It seems like their ranking criteria is rather scant, but can we really argue with them? Reasons for earning this ranking may include (but are not limited to):

1. Having AC in every dorm on campus! Oh, wait...

2. Hill brunch being open until 3 p.m. on Sunday when you're hungover.

3. The phone charging stations in certain school buildings.

4. The self-esteem boost you receive from the person swiping you in at Commons/by watching the Quidditch team practice on the high-rise lawns.

5. Famous people casually frequenting the Rave and FroGro.

6. Fathoming the possibility that you may, one day, be able to bathe in the Kelly Writers House bathtub.

7. The plethora of BS classes you can take for credit.

8. Feeling like superman after you've successfully dodged a dozen flyers on Locust.

9. The shockingly beautiful bathrooms on the 4th floor of DRL.

10. Experiencing the first (and probably the last) time you'll see Amy G.

Man, we just love arbitrary rankings, especially when made even more arbitrary by the fact that in 2011, we were ranked Daily Beast's #4 most stressful college. Ah, nothing like a little quality investigative journalism to kick off the week!
