Like the millennials we are, we often turn to Google instead of people in times of need. Our Google search history can always be a little disconcerting, but it’s particularly distinctive over sophomore summer – when else will we be looking up the toxicity of copper mines or wondering how to make homemade mac and cheese bites? Nonetheless, there’s no shame in asking Google silly questions – that’s what it’s there for. Here are ten potential topics you’ve Googled this summer:

Soft-Serve Vanilla with Rainbow Sprinkles:You are #basic. You really only order this particular type of ice cream so you can photograph it for your Instagram. At Starbucks, you’re probably a pumpkin spice latte kind of person, and you regularly order KAF salads for lunch. There’s nothing wrong with preferring to blend in with the crowd. We all do it sometimes, like when we pretend to be studying while eating lunch alone (rather than flaunting the fact that no one responded to our 15 “anyone for lunch @now??” GroupMe messages).

Brown University: The Number, a new delivery startup recently developed by three undergraduates, is already gaining popularity on campus, The Brown Daily Herald reported. The business, which went live on Monday after weeks of research and promotion, allows students to text a specified number and have anything within a certain radius delivered to them. Students must pay full price for the goods, plus an additional fee of $3.50, subject to increases during times of high demand.
Columbia University: The search for student Austin Taylor, who went missing on Nov. 2, has been called off, according to The Columbia Daily Spectator. The detective working on the case informed Taylor’s parents that his passport was scanned in Paris, and Taylor’s mother subsequently announced that they are ending the search.
Cornell University: Black Students United, a student-run advocacy group, entered University President Elizabeth Garrett’s office this week to submit a letter demanding that the University divest its endowment from interests based in mass incarceration and prisons. The organization was inspired by a similar protest at Columbia University, The Cornell Daily Sun reported.
Harvard University: Harvard has begun a formal review of the construction blueprint for its new School of Engineering and Sciences complex, the Harvard Crimson reported. The plan involves two-thirds of the SEAS faculty moving to a new location in Allston, Massachusetts. Construction is expected to begin in summer 2016.
Princeton University: Two of the campus’s tiger statues, the University’s mascot, have recently been vandalized, along with the cannon on Cannon Green, The Daily Princetonian reported. The perpetrators used red paint to cover the statues with expletives and graffiti aimed at the University and Pennsylvania State University. The perpetrators have not yet been identified.
University of Pennsylvania: The University was recently ranked number 57 on a Vice list of the most militarized universities in the United States, the Daily Pennsylvanian reported. The ranking considered the number of graduating students that go into the U.S. Intelligence Community and various other factors like funding amounts and participation in federal domestic security task forces.
Yale University: More than 1,000 students gathered in solidarity in the midst of recent discussions and controversy about race relations at the University, the Yale Daily News reported. The event, called the March of Resilience, was centered around discussions of unity and student power, and also included musical and cultural performances.

To the chagrin and dismay of many upperclassmen, the six-week ban on freshmen entering fraternity basements will finally be lifted today. As we cherish these last few nights of tranquility before basements are infiltrated by eager schmobs, rolling our eyes as we hear them discuss “Pi U” and “ZAE” (but repressing our secret jealousy that they still see frats as a novelty), freshmen are anticipating their first official entrance into Dartmouth’s Greek scene.
Whether you’re wildly excited, terrified or even indifferent, it will indisputably be a unique and (hopefully) memorable experience. Here’s a sample of what your night might entail:

Brown University: The University released results for its largest-ever campus climate survey that detailed accounts of sexual assault on campus on Monday, administered through the American Association of Universities, the Brown Daily Herald reported. The survey found that the majority of female students who experienced sexual assault did not report the incident and that 25 percent of undergraduate women reported experiencing sexual assault.
Columbia University: A recent survey revealed that the number of sexual assault reports, findings of responsibility and expulsions have increased in the 2014-2015 academic year, the Columbia Daily Spectator reported. Despite this, the university will not require students to re-attend an initiative focused on sexual respect education this semester.

Remember when you were a wide-eyed, bushy-tailed first-year student? Back then you still thought trippees were forever and FoCo cookies were a godsend (just kidding, that second one is still true). For all you ’19s out there, we know how you feel, even if we pretend that we were way cooler and always had the hang of this college thing. If this sounds anything like your morning yesterday (or today — we'll cut you some slack), just know that about 99.99% of the freshman class probably feels the exact same.
8:01 a.m.:OH MY GOD!! I overslept my alarm by 16 minutes! Was my roommate right telling me not to take a 9L?? Look at her…still peacefully asleep until she has to wake up for her 12…ugh.
8:03:No, I was right. My friends that are still in high school are already halfway through first period, and I just got out of bed. I’ll be okay.
8:15:I definitely don’t have time to make my bed. Or put on a decently presentable outfit. This sweatshirt and pajama pants will do, right? Dartmouth students are supposed to dress casually anyway… Wow, look at me, off to my first college class at an Ivy League. Go me!
8:16:I spoke too soon. The floormate I hooked up with the first night is heading for the same staircase as me…he just looked back and waved…oh my god he stopped so I could walk with him…I can’t handle this awkwardness. Not to mention, he’s way less attractive than I thought. Also… is that a Trump 2016 sticker on his backpack?? And did he just mispronounce my name??! Unforgiveable!
8:18:New rule: no more floorcest.And maybe no more drinking….(just kidding).
8:19:I don’t have time to walk all the way to FoCo. I’ll try out that place in the library, Novak or however you spell it.Someone told me the workers are really friendly and they have amazing coffee!
8:20:This line is too long. I’m going to try that place my trip leader told me about – “caf”? Must stand for cafeteria. What a strange name.
8:23:This line is long too but whatever, I need food. Also, I guess this place is called KAF, short for King Arthur Flour…? That’s an even weirder name than “caf”…
8:29: Why did the woman roll her eyes when I asked if they take meal swipes???
8:31:Oh my god. This croissant is incredible. How much DBA do I have again?
8:34:I should probably start heading to class…I want to make a good impression on the first day. Time to consult my campus map.
8:37:The Life Science Center looks kind of far…
8:42:How much further is this place?? Will it look awkward if I start speed walking?
8:45:CAN’T…BREATHE…NEED…TO…GET…BIKE…
8:47:Okay, I’ll try to make as casual an entrance as possible. I’m only two minutes late. Someone told me my Writing 5 class would be pretty small but I bet everyone else was late too…if only my face weren’t so flushed from running…
8:48:Um, everyone elseishere….and the professor already started her PowerPoint. This is awkward. And where do I sit?? Okay, I’ll just say I’m sorry and avert eye contact…
8:49:There was homework posted on Canvas last night???
8:50 AM:People are taking out their laptops….is that allowed?! Aren’t they going to get detention?
8:58:This class seems pretty good so far…wait, what does the syllabus say? WE HAVE A PAPER DUE IN TWO DAYS?!
9:00:Well, at least my professor and classmates seem nice.
9:02:Oh no – not another icebreaker. I can’t.
9:03:The guy next to me is from New Zealand and has an awesome accent. Maybe this class will be enjoyable after all.
9:06:Wait, what do I do if I have to go to the bathroom? Do I raise my hand? But that feels like I’m in kindergarten…I guess I’ll just wait.
9:10:Okay, I’m ready to go back to bed.
9:17:Does the professor notice me dozing off?
9:25:I can’t fall asleep in my first college class. When will my large coffee kick in??
9:28:We still haveTWENTY-TWO more minutes??! This is agony!
9:35:I’m never taking a 9L again.
9:40:My professor let us out early. God bless her. I can’t wait to get back in bed…I still have almost three hours before my 12. College is amazing.
9:47:And…my roommate is still asleep. Unbelievable. Here’s hoping I have better luck in my 12…

The end of the school year is often accompanied by sadness and nostalgia as we prepare to leave our beloved campus, best friends and KAF coffee. For those of us not remaining in Hanover for sophomore summer — namely, ’18s, ’16s and ’19s (are you out there?) — the next three months might look bleak, boring and even unappealing. But all hope is not lost — there are benefits in taking a break from Hanover too. Appreciate these as you wistfully cross out days in your countdown to 15F move-in day.

Brown University: Provost Vicki Colvin has announced that she is stepping down to further pursue her own research after serving as the University’s Provost for only one year, the Brown Daily Herald reported. Her successor will be Brown’s fourth provost in a six-year span. Colvin will stay at Brown as a member of the faculty.
Cornell University: Ryan Lombardi has been appointed vice president for student and campus life for the University, the Cornell Daily Sun reported. He is replacing longstanding vice president Susan Murphy, who has held the position for over 20 years. She will assist with fundraising activities and alumni affairs through June 2016 as Lombardi prepares to begin Aug. 1.

1. Tan on the Green Nothing will make you feel more like the quintessential Dartmouth student. Not only is the Green super facetimey, but you’re also getting a tan after becoming ghostly pale over the dark winter. Bring work if you want people to think you’re studious, or just take a nap under the pretense that you don’t have any.
2. Go canoeing/kayaking Summon your inner rower and head down to the Ledyard Clubhouse to rent a canoe or kayak. You can row to one of the river’s College-owned islands to have a snack or explore one of the DOC cabins, or just float along. If you’re lucky you can get a new profile picture of out it that makes you look attractive, crunchy and really happy.

Among the recent questionable trends reputed to increase men’s attractiveness (read: Dadbod), there is one that stands alone in its undeniable, universal, feminine appeal: the man bun. Popularized by Jared Leto, the man-bun movement started gaining momentum this past fall. Although the style brings to mind celebrities like Bradley Cooper and Brad Pitt, we need not look beyond Hanover to find guys rocking the glory of the man bun.
If you’ve missed the on-campus man buns somehow, have no fear! The new Instagram account @manbuns_of_dartmouth documents some of the most marvelous of Dartmouth man buns.
Arielle Gordon-Rowe ’18, one of the account’s creators, said she made the page as a platform for the growing trend in the man bun’s popularity. When she approaches man bun connoisseurs for photographs, most are eager to show off their hair, but a few are more reluctant. Still, most seem to come around eventually.

Although some of us might not notice it on a day-to-day basis — consumed with things like midterms, relationships and Yik Yak — money and class likely affect every thing we do on campus, from who we interact with, how we dress and even sometimes which classes we take.
Yet, for all its influence, socioeconomic diversity remains a little-discussed topic around campus.

Much like FoCo’s waffle-maker, The Box (stylized theBOX) is something we (Annette and Caroline) have always glanced at with mild interest. Yet, they have both eluded us during out time here. This past fall we passed the food truck, still under the freshman delusion that FoCo was akin to a gourmet buffet. By the time we had realized our egregious error in judgment, The Box was gone for the winter. Luckily, along with warmth, sundresses and half of the student body, The Box is back for the spring, giving us a chance for redemption.

As young, attractive, intelligent students attending Dartmouth and living in the 21st century, we live very privileged existences. We can meet world-renowned professors by simply going to class, observe stunning views walking anywhere on campus and have unlimited access to FoCo cookies — undeniably a wonder of the world.

While some of us are surviving the run-up to finals with thoughts of warm sun and tropical drinks, many of us don’t have such exotic (and expensive) plans for this year’s spring break. Instead, some of us are headed home (like me, to Boston, which in a cruel twist of fate currently has three times as much snow as Hanover), and others are getting ready for a quiet stay here at the good alma mater.

As many of us know, Random House announced last week that a lost manuscript by Dr. Seuss —also known as Theodor Geisel ’25, arguably Dartmouth’s most famous alumnus — will be published in July. The manuscript, titled “What Pet Should I Get?” is a companion piece of sortsto “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish,” which features the same brother and sister. Obviously, we here @Dartbeat were excited to learn that our favorite alum (sorry, Mindy!) would be back in bookstores soon. In celebrating our enthusiasm, though, we got a little carried away, imagining possible titles and plotlines that might be waiting out there in other unfound manuscripts. Now that we’ve written them, let us know if you’d read any of the following?

As Yik Yak has informed us, Harvard has had three snow days this year. Disgruntled and confused, many of us have been left wondering why we, in contrast, have had zero this term, despite our inarguable reputation as the Ivy with the coldest, snowiest climate (Cornell, I’m talking about Ivies). This has birthed a rumor that goes something like this: Dartmouth has never had a snow day, not since 1769, and it never will. While we do love the idea of attending an institution that is too BA to ever cancel classes, we decided to look into the claim. And what we found is that — to the surprise of many —Dartmouth has had in fact had a number snow days, even in the last forty years. Below, we’ve listed the three most recent Hanover snow days (as far as we can tell from available records):

Earlier this winter, Dartbeat published an article ranking the best cup of hot chocolate in Hanover. This piece —if we may say so ourselves —was met with general acclaim. Although we covered Dirt Cowboy, Lou’s, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts and KAF in our original investigation, it appears that we were guilty of leaving a single stone unturned. In other words, as anonymous commentator “anonym” pointed out, we skipped the hot chocolate on offer at Morano Gelato. So, to right this wrong, we dispatched a reporter out into the icy tundra to see if Morano’s hot chocolate was as good as its gelato. In keeping with the previous post, we asked our reporter to order a small hot chocolate, judging on its time of delivery, distance from campus, price, whipped cream quality and overall quality. Here are her results:

As we all spend this week recovering from Winter Carnival and wearily finishing midterms, here @Dartbeat we’re all too aware that course selection for 15S is looming unpleasantly over our heads. How could it already be time for course selection?!, we’ve asked ourselves, shaking out our frozen hair. Didn’t winter just start? While the answer to the latter is an unfortunate yes, we’ve decided to make the most of course selection by compiling a list of the true descriptions of courses – based only on their titles and our imagination – to help show you some fun courses you might be missing. Just remember that if you really want to know what’s worth signing up for, you might want to check the Dartmouth course catalogue.
