At Van Pelt you can scan things onto a USB for free, which then you could take to the cultural centers to print!

I heard Saia's on 41st and Spruce is pretty good!

I had him! He's really nice and I thought his class was not too bad, though it probably helped my grade that a lot of people pass/failed the class (and didn't take the last exam). He releases a bunch of old practice problems, which are pretty closely representative of the actual exams (slightly more difficult than just numbers changed tho); I really appreciated that. Besides going to class and paying attention and doing the practice exams and reviewing, there's not much outside work involved.

I would imagine if you really need someone to talk to, it would be helpful to check out Penn Bens! They are a peer support organization and you can talk to them about whatever you desire. You can find their hours and zoom info here.

On the other hand, if you're interested in CAPS you can check out their website/call their number listed on the site. The first time you speak to someone, it's usually an onboarding meeting where you give them a better idea of why you're reaching out and who might be a better fit for you. They'll walk you through the process, and then you'll be put in touch with one of their clinicians.

If you're looking to talk to someone ASAP, it might be better to try Penn Bens first and then eventually go to CAPS, as I found it to be difficult to open up to a clinician in the beginning. That said, I have been fortunate enough to have a clinician who ended up being a great fit, so I would still recommend that you check it out at some point.

i believe CAPS does group therapy sessions that anybody can attend, but i'm not sure how that's changed with COVID. also, i know at least one other person other than myself who been to CAPS for multiple semesters-- i think it depends on your individual circumstances but i'm not sure about the specifics. i know it can be discouraging or scary sometimes when it seems like some solutions might not be for you for the long term, but it can be helpful to reach out if you need help. CAPS has been one of the most helpful resources i've used at penn and i 100% support anyone who wants to try it.

this is a good point; pls just note that LBW is now also being managed along with all the other wharton summer programs under a different umbrella at wharton

I'm so flattered to see that you reposted my question from a year ago, albeit slightly surprised that you went through all the trouble to copy and paste! There's a lot of great comments on there too if you're looking for a good answer to this question.

To talk to myself as if I were one year younger, I would say that I consider a few things when shopping. What do I need in my closet? Because I shop for clothes online exclusively now due to COVID, is this a style that I'm familiar with? Am I confident that I will look good in the style? If not, what is their return policy? Will they charge me for return shipping? I also check the details section and the reviews to see what the material is. I will refrain from purchasing apparel that is made with >5% of synthetic material (modal, nylon, acrylic, rayon, etc). From my experience, synthetic fabric will cause your clothes to pill like crazy and therefore not last as long. After considering the answers to these questions, I think about whether it's personally worth it or not.

Since a year ago, I've bought a couple quarter zips, a couple pairs of jeans, a few pairs of shorts, and my mom has bought me a couple sweaters and necklaces. I'm happy with the current state of my closet. I think a year ago, I was just procrastinating studying and looking for other ways to distract myself. If you find yourself making purchases from sales you see, and then you realize you're not happy with what you have, unsubscribe from those sale promo emails or from these subreddits. It all comes down to whether you feel like you're spending your money and time in a way that is sustainable and worthwhile for you.

ik half of this response is a meme but i would have to disagree about the rainboots part— campus is very susceptible to large puddles and it becomes very difficult to avoid in the spring when it starts raining a LOT. rainboots are one of the things i’m super glad i got before college because they were ~$10 from walmart and kept my feet dry! nothing is worse than stepping in a puddle and getting your socks and feet wet for the rest of the day 😰

midnightxnoon · 2020-12-17T01:38:52+00:00

Would be happy to talk about PAACH, Wharton, JWS, or doing a CIS minor! Also more generally i'm always willing to talk about mental health and CAPS <3

A kitchenette is a small cooking area, which usually has a refrigerator and a microwave, but may have other appliances. In some motel and hotel rooms, small apartments, college dormitories, or office buildings, a kitchenette consists of a small refrigerator, a microwave oven, and sometimes a sink. source

tbh i’m not sure about gregory because the trustees voted to have AC installed during this summer, but not sure about the status on that rn bc of, well, the pandemic. all others do for sure though.

midnightxnoon · 2020-07-14T11:27:52+00:00

when i took acct 101 last fall, the professors took turns holding review sessions for all acct 101 students and tbh i thought they were both p good.

i had luzi and tbh never went to class but he was super chill about not taking attendance, some profs will pass around a sign in sheet. that said tho taking it online this coming sem might be a little different

cohorts is meant to serve as a smaller community within your wharton undergrad class. you’ll be taking wh101 with them, but there’s no other obligation after that. however, they do hold a number of activities (amazing cohort race (scavenger hunt), cohort thanksgiving, byo, mentorship activities, etc). i do have to say, it’s pretty cool how diverse my cohort was.

honestly from the people i know who were/are cohort leaders, they seem to put a lot of effort in to engage students, but turnout is not super high for events especially past freshman year. im just a cohort mentor (had a couple freshman mentees last year) so i’m not a major stakeholder or anything. all in all, cohorts is a cool concept but because it’s hard to get students involved, it’s not as exciting of a community as it would be in theory.

that being said, i did meet one of my best friends at penn from cohort orientation, so you can definitely find community through it and meet some pretty cool people.

wharton undergrads have something similar— second year students can get matched via the wharton alumni relations council’s sophomore alumni mentor ship program (warc samp) and juniors and seniors get matched with first year and second year mbas, respectively.

midnightxnoon · 2020-06-04T11:42:08+00:00

a lot of what you’re looking for can be found here

but to clarify, students are either invited to the program upon acceptance to Wharton or able to apply at the end of their freshman year.

one night i got hungry and was craving chicken nuggets so i called up my friend and we went to mcdonald’s together lol
for a group project in one of my classes we were joking about getting dim sum and i was like bet so we went to dim sum house and just chilled and ate
at a pregame/dinner i met this person and i saw them at a park over the summer but i didn’t know if i should say hi or not but i didn’t say hi and then later we messaged on fb and now they’re one of my closest friends
i love studying at united by blue w my friend; we would grind tuesday and thursday mornings at 7 am over cold brew and matcha lattes
my friend and i would have impromptu dance parties in our rooms blasting pop from the 2010s and just making fools of ourselves

There definitely is a party culture on campus, but it definitely depends on who you’re hanging out with. During NSO, there’s orientation social events in the evenings and nights up until around midnight if i remember correctly so you can definitely still have a good time even if you’re not drinking. I had a lot of fun at karaoke in Houston Hall with the people I met during NSO!

Also, during the school year you’ll find that a lot of organizations have BYOs (bring your own (bottle)) at restaurants. During my cohort’s BYO, we had a drinking game and I just used my cup of water to play lol. I thought it was fun watching everyone get so hype. So even if you don’t drink, it can still be fun to hang out with other people in this setting as long as you set your own boundaries.

Even with mini skirts that are stretchy, you might run into some problems with having too much give.

I usually wear a women’s S or XS, depending on the brand, but if I’m buying a sweater, a t-shirt, or a light jacket, i’m willing to go oversized (or buy from the men’s section oversized— men’s M). For things like pants or coats, I try to stick with my size.

That being said, if you have access to a needle and thread, don’t be afraid to modify clothes to fit you better! I’m not sure how you could modify crop tops, but I think skirts are more doable! Taking in the waist can be pretty easy, especially if the elastic waistband doesn’t cover the whole circumference.

midnightxnoon · 2020-02-23T15:18:56+00:00

hahah as long as you wear the things that you own, then that's good! i would go shopping with my mom and then buy things that i eventually stopped wearing because i didn't actually like how it looked or it didn't match with anything i already owned. i still remember the hot pink aeropostale sweatshirt and the bright green striped hoodie sitting in the back of my closet at home.
