<p>At Upenn they have the superstition that if you walk over the seal in the middle of campus you will fail all your exams that semester. During finals week you can see a gap in the flow of the crowd because everyone is making sure to walk around the seal. My friend's brother last year during finals week pushed his way through the crowd and started jumping up and down all over the seal yelling and screaming. That was like the end of his sophomore year or something, and it was his first semester with all As.</p>
