If you are familiar with the film "10 Things I Hate About You", I invite you to recall this quote by the terribly deep Chastity Stratford.
I know you can be overwhelmed, and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?
While a ridiculously shallow scene, this question posed has followed me. Instead of simply looking up the definition for myself, I waited years to meet someone who possessed the knowledge to answer this on the spot. I have given up and discovered for myself that, yes, you can be whelmed. This verb perfectly sums up my feelings surrounding the thriving arts of Philadelphia. From exhibitions and artist talks to on-demand theater and angelic compositions, this city has it all.
