A few slices of cold pizza sitting in their oily cardboard misery. Boxes of coffee stained with greasy fingerprints. Half-empty liters of soda that look as if their bubbles have lost their enthusiasm.

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.
When I applied to be an opinion columnist a year ago, I wasn’t quite sure if I fit the mold. Most opinion columns I’d read, whether in The Daily Pennsylvanian or in national newspapers, were about politics, economics or controversial things. But even though I like discussing politics and economics and controversy, whenever I sat down to write a column, I never found myself actually wanting to write about those subjects.

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

It’s sunny and beautiful when I arrive at Franklin Field on April 15. While other Penn students are finishing up class and heading to daytime parties by the time I arrive at about 4 p.m., the members of the Social Planning and Events Committee Concerts started their day at 7:30 a.m.
