After that last slurp of eggnog, you probably told yourself that this year was going to be different – that you were going to keep your New Year’s resolution (that’s four years running) of finally getting in shape. But it’s a week into the term and you’ve probably already started to deviate from that rigid training schedule you set for yourself. To be fair, walking to the gym in subzero temperatures when you have a bunch of other stuff on your mind is probably one of the last things anyone wants to do. But I’m here to give you a few tips on how to get back on track because trust me, it will all be worth it.

meaning now that Homecoming and Halloween have come and gone. What are you
supposed to do now that you’ve completed the quest for the perfect Halloween

ways to cope with everyone’s favorite time of year: the end of the term.

If you
don’t use Twitter anymore, there’s a good reason to start again. The Dartmouth
Parents Twitter account (
@DartmouthParent) describes
itself as “the insider’s guide on things to do at Dartmouth and in the Upper
Valley.” That word “insider” should stick out to you right away. You know what
it’s like for your parents to think they’re “in with it,” only for them to
actually be completely misguided about the younger generation. Let’s take a closer
look at some of these Tweets and see just where Dartmouth parents go wrong.

Miss out on the poster sale in FoCo last week? Were you at the career fair instead? Well besides needing to get your priorities straight, you’ve got a bigger issue. You are just starting to notice how bare the walls of your room are as you look up from your computer at 8:50pm Sunday night and wonder why the recruiting deadline couldn’t be midnight instead of nine. But that’s beside the point.

Well, I’m finally a Dartmouth senior, and my younger brother is finally a freshman (at Princeton though, ew). Talking to him made me realize just how much a person can change during their first three years of college. Leading up to his first day, he claimed that he would never drink coffee. I naively said the same when I entered my freshman year—but then I discovered KAF. Here’s my take on just how different freshmen and seniors really are.

When Dartmouth decided to renovate Baker Tower, I doubt anyone considered the enormous problem it would cause: depriving us of a backdrop for those classic “I’m back!” or “Look, it’s autumn!” profile pictures. Without a photo of me at the one place that’s recognizably-Dartmouth, how am I supposed to subliminally let everyone back home know that I haven’t flunked out yet? Could there possibly be an alternative to the coveted shot in front of Baker Tower? Probably not. But, unless you’re up for posing in front of the library as it stands now and captioning the photo, “Yup, this actually is Dartmouth,” you’re going to have to look elsewhere.

There was a lot going on last weekend: Pigstick, Woodstock, Mud Pit and the 44th annual Dartmouth PowWow. You spent all of week six fighting yet another losing battle in the war against academic rigor—it's only fair that you milked the weekend's festivities as a chance to forget your troubles and relax. But you know who never gets to relax!? Your mom! And you know what else was this weekend? Mother’s Day!

It was a long time coming, but spring has finally sprung. This past week, there was an exponential increase in the number of people hanging out on the Green. And that got me thinking: How can I capture spring term at Dartmouth in graphs? I may not have known how to graph Canada’s production possibility frontier on my last Econ midterm, but I think I figured out how to map these more relevant trends (sorry, Canada):

Tax day is officially upon us! You were so relieved to hear that this year, taxes weren’t due on April 15. That’s right—in the adult world, if you beg hard enough, you can still get three-day extensions.

Behind the black coat and adorable snout of Winston McKenzie--Phi Delta Alpha's house pig--is a social mastermind. With 243 Facebook friends and counting, Winston teaches us that despite any biological differences, we’re actually a lot alike. Every photo he posts contains a lesson to be learned. Dartbeat has compiled those lessons here for you (but be sure to send Winston a friend request so that you can continue receiving all the sage wisdom he has to offer):

Unless you’ve come back from studying abroad in New Zealand (or, like me, returned from your off term genuinely thinking Foco had switched to disposable plates and utensils when you ate there Sunday…), you’re excited to be back on campus for what’s to be an awesome term. Or, at least a term not as bad as the last one. Let’s face it: most of us could not wait to put the winter behind us. And in a battle of winter term versus spring term, spring always wins:

Dartmouth’s Council on Honorary Degrees recently began compiling nominations for potential recipients. Honorary degrees will be awarded at Commencement in the spring, but faculty and members of the graduating class have been requested to offer names of individuals to be considered for the honorary degrees. While we’re sure there are some great ideas, we wanted to be sure to put these names on the table.
Souleymane:Likely the happiest, most iconic and beloved member of the Dartmouth family, it’s time for us to show Souleymane how much we truly appreciate him and offer him an honorary degree. Seeing him at the Hop can brighten anyone’s day, and if there’s anyone deserving of being on this list, it’s him.

This quiz will tell you which week of the term best describes your personality, while failing to control for the fact that whatever week it is right now is what's actually determining how you feel.

Columbia University: Jonah Reider, a Columbia University senior, has started a pop-up gourmet restaurant named Pith in his dorm room, the Columbia Spectator reported. Reider prepares five-to-eight course meals for two to four diners four nights a week, and prepares the food in the common kitchen of his suite in Hogan Hall. He takes reservations on Yelp and is already fully booked until Christmas.

The time has come: Homecoming is finally upon us. And at Dartmouth that means that tonight the upperclassmen will gather around a massive, burning pyre shout “Touch the fire!” as the freshman class runs around it. Nothing oddly satanic about that. Not at all.
If you’re a ’19, that also means you now have two important tasks ahead of you: touching the fire and running around it 119 times. It’s basically a question of speed or endurance — take your pick. If you’re not already in good enough shape to complete all 119 laps, that sounds like a personal problem — not much we can do for you. However! Touching the fire? That’s something everyone’s invested in, what we’re all there to see and an area where we can offer you some real advice. So ‘19s, read through this guide on how to touch the fire, devise your plan and do us proud – lest you continue to be labeled the “worst class ever.”
1. Know why you’re touching the fire.
You need to understand why you’re doing it. I believe they say the same thing about rush. You need to have a good reason to run straight for middle of a blazing inferno and stick your hand in it. I believe they say the same thing about rush.

1. Saturday classes are scheduled earlier in the day than usual, so if you have classes between 8 and 10 in the morning, you may as well pull an all-nighter and enjoy your Friday night — maybe even complete the Lou’s Challenge.

It’s okay to save seats and claim tables, but what you use as your placeholder matters. Your ID, backpack and coat are acceptable options. Clustering the napkins and salt and pepper shakers to the center of the table does not constitute a table saved.
You have 0.053 seconds to place your order at Novack before all hell breaks loose. In other words, order at the rate of this dodgeball or prepare to be hit in the face with the words “WHO’S NEXT!?”
You can check the FoCo menu online, so you really can’t complain if the food isn’t good that day. But you also can’t ever let anyone know that you actually check the FoCo menu.
You shouldn’t be eating lunch or dinner at Novack before midterms begin. If you are…you need to love yourself.
KAF is not part of DDS. You can use DBA, but you cannot use a meal swipe there. Learn this now before you learn it the hard way.
You can get creative and order off the menu at the HOP. If you listen to the orders before and after yours, you’ll end up hearing some pretty unique food combinations. You may be dubious whether they’re actually good, but many have become tried and true student favorites.
Not putting your silverware in the bin at Foco just makes you a bad person. It’s like worse than not recycling.
No matter where you are, you will have to wait your turn in line. All attempts at cutting corners and putting yourself ahead will just backfire.

It’s finally sophomore summer — the term we’ve all been looking forward to since day one of freshman fall. Each of us has our own expectations of what this term would be like for quite some while. But your plans for this summer are probably a bit different from what you told your parents— aren’t they?

Given that the third Dimensions weekend is kicking off, we thought we’d take the chance to ask students what they remember about their Dimensions experience. As you see prospective ’19s walking around campus today and tomorrow, try to remember what it was — whether you went to Dimensions or not — that first caught your eye about Dartmouth. When I went to Dimensions, I remember eating with my parents at FoCo and being blown away by the food, and although FoCo may not have the same charm that it did to me on day one, I’m still not ashamed to admit that food probably played a larger role in my college decision than it should have. Here’s what some of your peers remember about their time at Dimensions.

All things you want to avoid when walking across the Green. But is there a relationship between what you tend to step in and who you are? Might be! Take this quick quiz to find out.
