Guest column by Ansley Bolick | Part of the problem

Like most Penn students, I spent Fling partying outdoors in the sun. It was wonderful, but when I recounted my weekend to friends later in the week, there was a part of the story that I wanted to leave out. That Saturday morning, I went to a brunch mixer, and didn’t take the medications I normally take during breakfast. By the time I was watching Mask and Wig perform in the Quad, I started to shake. When my friends and I agreed to go home and nap in preparation for going out later that night, I found myself stiff and panicked on my couch, unable to sleep or breathe deeply. It was the early stages of a panic attack. Eventually, I remembered that my interrupted morning schedule had caused me to forget my anxiety medication. I downed a pill and a half, and I was feeling back to normal within the hour.

Not to mention, the United States men are a serious medal contender.
