THAT’S RIGHT, IT’S RESTAURANT WEEK TIME. Next week is Philly’s Restaurant Week, and I am SO. FREAKING. EXCITED. Yes, Restaurant Week SEEMS expensive (and it totally is lol) but it’s finally time for us all to go out with our friends (or more ;)) and act bougie. Restaurant Week is a time for us to have fun, so I figured I’d tell all y’all my favorite parts of this magical week. kicks Rationalizing Spending Your Entire Bank Account on One Meal “I live for the print.” A three-course meal for only $35?? WELL HOT NELLY, that’s a great deal! A whole appetizer, entree AND dessert? Shoot, that’s amazing!

Sure, you may only have $47 in your bank account at the moment, but your credit card bill isn’t due for another two weeks and This Day in Club Penguin Restaurant Week is NOW. It’s bougie time, baby; it ain’t no time to act like Mr. Krabs. Bills happen every month — Restaurant Week happens twice a Sept. 12, 2019 year. You totally have enough money to spend for Restaurant Week (just not for the Uber home). Today marks Spending the Entire Week Picking a Restaurant a new range Okay, so it’s about to be Restaurant Week and you make plans to go out of igloo with your friends, yay! But wait, then there comes the issue of picking possibilities. a restaurant. Well that should be easy, right? I mean, there’s a ton of That’s right, restaurants, so everyone will be able to find something they like. Just text a new igloo your friends, and ask them for their opinions. Soon, everyone will reply and furntiure catalog came out in CPRewritten! It’s with an “idc idk” and then you’ll pick a friend to make the decision. now time for us all to spend all the money we’ve Then, (and this is my favorite part), you can say “eh idk” to all of their made working at the mine to upgrade our iggys and suggestions. You’ll basically never know where to go and eventually the end of Restaurant Week will approach and you’ll finally just pick something throw a party! As always, every penguin is welcome random. at my iggy and I can only hope you’ll love it as much as I do. Finally Looking at the Bill Oh, that extra seasonal drink you got was great! And so was the bruschetta Hayman Hall platter you shared as a table! But wait, you’re now looking at your bill and $50? That’s not right! Right? Dinner was only $35! Plus, the drink, plus your extras, and THEN tip because your waitress was lowkey amazing. Well, at Dear Kickies, this point you might as well tip well and just use your credit card to pay Although I think La Salle tried to do because you still have a week to pay for your bills and you can always just something good by renaming Olney to Hayman Hall, sell some feet pics. I don’t think they ever thought about the possible Well Kickies, I hope y’all can follow in my footsteps and enjoy Restaurant Week, too. Restaurant Week is repercussions this decision would have. a magical time when we all pretend that we can afford to eat out, so enjoy it. Treat yourself — ensure that you’re starting this semester off right and truly having a Hot Girl Semester. Last week, I was told to meet someone at “Hayman.” Now, knowing this person, and knowing what we were trying to do, I knew that this meant the Hayman Loop. However, I could not stop thinking about if a poor freshman were told the same thing and they went all the way to what was formerly Olney, only to then be told they needed to hike over to TruMark. The Hayman Loop is an iconic Lasallian meeting place — a place in which groups frequently meet, whether it is to be driven by a van to an activity, or to get on a bus to go to a formal. The Hayman Loop is an ICON in its own right. Renaming Olney to Hayman is upsetting for many reasons, but I am most upset that the iconic Hayman Loop will lose significance in name. As a student at La Salle, I feel a strong sense of community, specifically with my favorite buildings. Hayman Loop will live in my heart forever, and so I hope “Hayman Hall” NEVER tries to compete with that icon. Sincerely,

Emily “Hayman <3” Weintraut

Sudoku Get ready for sudoku y’all. This one is pretty tough, but I believe in you. As always, if you’re able to finish this within 5 minutes, find me and I can give you a prize. The prize this week is especially cool (and vegan) because this puzzle is hard. In all honestly, if you’re able to solve this quickly you should probably just be handed your degree by La Salle.

Comics! I connected WAY too much to this comic. It might only be the third week of classes, but I know a lot of us already have had to turn in assignments or are stuDYING for exams. We might look normal on the outside, but when I leave my house at 8 am and don’t get back until 10 pm, my brain has a little internal scream. I know a lot of y’all can relate, so just know This Is Brain that I support all y’all. Plus, if you’re ever stressed, you by Nasser_junior can just KICK back and read a page of KICKS.

1. No one will ever wish it was summer cause it will never be cold ever therefore there will be no winter 2. Less icebergs to kill Leo Decaprio 3. Safe water to swim in (cause everything will be dead with rising ocean temps) 4. Hotter sun = better tan 5. Warmer weather = hot girl summer 24/7 6. Everyone will have a s beachfront home because the oceans going to swallow all the (No but seriously, global warming is not good and everyone needs to do more than just stop using plastic straw if we want to prevent the world dying. At this rate we don’t really have much time, so forget about hot girl summer and go out and make a change. There are so many things we as a society can do to help prevent this; voting for someone who wants to make a change, cleaning up the enviornment, etc., SO GO DO SOMETHING) p.s. you could at least recyele this newspaper StOrY tImE Here’s a story of the time the cops were called on my family becasue my siblings and I were outside playing. Now I’m from suburban Philadelphia and if you don’t know anything about that area just know nothing really crazy ever happens. So I was outside playing with some friends, my older brother and my three younger siblings when all of the sudden cop cars pull up to my house. My mom is so confused because all seven of her kids were home and all the other kids that weren’t hers were accounted for by their parents. Apparently, us playing outside sounded like children being abducted so much so that my nieghbors called the cops. My neighbors legit didn’t (and still don’t) talk to us, so if they had just walked over and asked and NOT CALLED THE POLICE they would’ve known that the screaming and small amount of crying were from playing. Yup they were party poopers then and still are to this day. Here’s a picture of me from around the same time.------> 14 SPORTS Sept. 12, 2019
