You Fell For DP Joke Issue: A Tale of Gullibility and Disappointment

At one point or another on Wednesday, you thought a number of things. You thought Emma Watson was enrolling at Penn; you thought Penn banned hard alcohol, and that your Netflix was a goner. You were a victim of the system DP’s joke issue. It's okay, you weren't alone.

But c’mon, didn’t these fantasies sound a tad familiar? Remember when Ariana Grande was coming to Penn, or when Penn deemed losing a PennCard worthy of academic probation? When Skulls was set to take over Amy’s house, or when Amy Gutmann said marijuana for all?

Nevertheless, people fell for it. Hard. And in a few days, when your tears have dried and this whole snafu becomes a thing of the past, you’ll probably think it’s funny too. Until then, check out these Penn-goers who are just like you, and maybe delete those embarrassing overeager Facebook posts. 

There were some who were excited!!!

And some who lost it...

Those who couldn't handle the truth...

And those who were almost left speechless.

The ones that believe in miracles...

And the one you could say is a dreamer...

who may or may not have been the one 

pranked at middle school sleepovers

The ones who have SWORN OFF THE DP DAMN IT!

Some that were bitter...

And more that were bitter...

And last but not least, cue the U of Penn Insta, here to remind us that Penn is pretty swell, and that we're all in this together.
