In January, it was announced that the campus’s Wawa location would be shutting down, and just a month later, the same would be true for El Taco and D.P. Dough. With these closures, the food situation on campus has become a little scarce, but when signs for a Philly Pretzel Factory popped up in the Papadakis Integrated Sciences Building, there was some hope.

While this was not an easy step, I had only had the app for a year and a half in comparison to many other 20-year-olds who have been on Instagram for nearly a decade. To me, this step was necessary as all of the negative repercussions of social media that we are warned of became actualized in my life. Years-long friendships were damaged when I forgot to post stories on birthdays.

The food scene in Philadelphia is famous for a reason. A century of culinary history is baked into the city, all thanks to immigrants and working-class traditions that turned seemingly everyday meals into cultural landmarks.

For over a decade, we were assured by tech leaders that self-driving cars were coming “soon.” Following years of hype, they appear to have finally delivered. In San Francisco, autonomously driven Waymos can be seen roaming the streets; one can book a Waymo as easily as one would an Uber. And in Philadelphia, following a round of tests with safety drivers, Waymo is experimenting with fully autonomous operation of its fleet in preparation for a future public launch.

Surviving Drexel University’s quarter system requires a lot of small joys to keep students motivated from Week 1 to Week 11. This list gathers 100 of those lifelines that make Drexel life a little lighter for me. 1. The Phillies – While controversial, the Phillies are my favorite Philadelphia sports team.
