"And I think that's just poor planning on the part of whoever's in charge of things like this," she added.
Seniors have expressed empathy about the change in schedule.
"I think that it's unfortunate for this junior class because Hey Day was one of my favorite experiences as a Penn student," said College senior Kevin Rurak.
While juniors are celebrating the beginning of their last year, seniors will also be celebrating the end of the year with Hey Deja Vu, the new annual barbeque intended to promote a responsible Hey Day.
"It's going to be a great event that gives seniors a fun, but safe, way to participate in Hey Day as well," said senior class president Puneet Singh.
Despite the negative feedback from his peers, "I have no doubt that it's going to be great day for the class," said Perlmutter.
So for now, juniors are doing their best to balance their time.
"I'm trying to figure out how to celebrate Hey Day but finish the semester strongly at the same time," said Nursing junior Nina Panaligan, who has a paper due the day after Hey Day.

Hey Day is for Fucknuts and is a tradition that we could do without. In theory it is a wonderful event; however, in reality it is a reckless drunk fest. (Continued…)

Hey Day was on a class day last year, it just happened to be a Friday. Plenty of juniors have a Friday class or two. Most profs do very little on the last day of class (especially if they know that it's Hey Day). (Continued…)
