The Grad Laws
While I'm not as close to graduating as some of our dear readers might be, I appreciate the brutal honesty that Editor–in–Chief Walden Green believes is a necessity for most soon–to–be Penn grads. Through a detailed compilation of 69 rules for our inner children afraid to enter adulthood—"because it's equal to 34 times two plus one"—Walden provides his insight on the dos and don'ts of love, work, and life after college. So even though Penn's "real world" isn't remotely similar to most people's real worlds, or the world you are soon to enter, we're here to tell you that you'll be just fine.

STORIES WE WISH WE WROTE
- Yikes. It seems like Coachella has taken a turn for the worse, as this year's festival missed the mark on too many fronts. From Vanessa Hudgens' notable absence to Frank Ocean dropping out of weekend two, the Palm Desert celebrity oasis isn't too heavenly after all. Plus, before Ocean dropped out, he didn't exactly impress the audience either. (The Guardian)
- "Sorry, Sluts: It's Still a Crime for Unmarried Couples to Live Together in Michigan" reads the headline. While the first two words most definitely caught my attention, the rest of the article didn't get any better. Apparently, if you live with your significant other, you're guilty of paying up to $1,000 to the state of Michigan. Talk about being bitter. (Vice)
- If you don't know, now you know: SpaceX's Starship rocket exploded on Thursday only minutes after takeoff. Thankfully, no humans were on board, but you already know Elon Musk is counting down the days until the next launch. And despite the disappointing result, the audience seemed to all have raving reviews, looking forward to the next opportunity to watch Musk's project finally succeed. (The New York Times)
