FOR THE RECORD: We all need one day off

College is in full swing and you are probably at the point where you are about to rip your hair out from stress. You regret registering the previous semester for back-to-back science and English. At the same time you have no choice; you want to graduate on time. So you deal with it. You can only hope there is just one day where you can just take a break and forget about school.

The light is here! September 27 is College Day on the Parkway!
So drop all of your school work for just one day, get outside, enjoy the fresh air and check out what Philly has to offer.
