Although some skeptics might tell you that majoring in psychology does not adequately prepare you for corporate recruiting, medical school or law school, I have found through my four years as an undergraduate that a psychology major can indeed be practical. There is no doubt that many of the phenomena discussed in social science texts and explained in psychology journals can be applied to our everyday lives. In fact, many such empirical findings can be used to manipulate others or to achieve success and fame.

At2:45 a.m. November 1, 1973, I was bornin Northshore Hospital in Manhasset, New York. Ever since that fateful day on which I disrupted my mother's sleep and permanently scarred her abdomen (i.e. Caesarean section), I have no doubt been a night person. Never do I slink into bed before 2 a.m. In fact, I've been known to order from EBAs at 1:45 in the morning not out of hunger, but out of sheer boredom.

Duringthe course of my fouryears at Dartmouth, many intellectually-challenging questions have tortured my psyche. Twisting and turning for numerous hours each night, I have been unable to adequately address some of my most innermost Socratic concerns. However, now, within a few weeks of graduation, I shall attempt to achieve a sense of academic closure by posing some of these seemingly unanswerable questions to you, the general Dartmouth public.

Myparents have a penchant for over-reacting to everyday situations. Whether I come home for fall, winter or spring break, I can always count on Mom accusing the check-out person at the supermarket of taking our family carton of Cheese Whiz or Dad asserting that the bank cashier unconscionably shortchanged him $10.

Oneof my most memorable experiences at Dartmouth occurred during orientation week of my freshman year. Alone in my room, with a box full of Mom's famous "home-bought" Entenmann's Cookies in my hands, I heard the sound of clashing swords on my screen. Yep, I had received my first blitz.

Haveyou ever wondered why certain parts of the body haven't evolved out of existence? Well this past Tuesday, I stood pondering such a physiological question. In all honesty, I did a lot of standing, a lot of grimacing and a lot of thinking.

With only a few thousand people on the Dartmouth campus at any one time, you may find that you run into some of the same people on a regular basis. For instance, you may find that you always see your former drill instructor in the Hop or that you usually come across your Undergraduate Adviser on the way to your class in Dartmouth Hall.

Dumbbells slam against the hard floorbelow, the smell of sweat lingers in the stale Kresge air, and scores of self-motivated college-aged students crunch, lift, squat and jerk. Yup, you guessed it, we're standing in the middle of the weight room in Alumni Gymnasium.

Competition is rampant at Dartmouth, and if someone tells you otherwise, he is probably leading you astray. High-school applicants to the College don't merely fill out a few forms, write a few standardized test scores on a piece of paper and check a few miscellaneous boxes. Most fight tooth and nail for their spots.

Have you ever had one of those days during which you see an infinite number of happy-go-lucky couples skipping across the Green? Imagine that, you think to yourself, someone has actually found love at the Who'd-I-kiss, Who-else-did-I-kiss, Random hook-up school of the Ivy League. Once again, you think, that lucky person is not me.

The administrators of Dartmouth undoubtedly want to improve the Big Green's academic reputation. In fact, the Class of 1998 has seen the unveiling of a new academic program that requires a more diverse array of liberal arts courses as well as a culminating experience before graduation.

It was Tuesday night and I was up late tooling for a Psychology 26 multiple-choice mid-term, mindlessly memorizing the potentially disastrous effects of sleep deprivation on a student's retention of rote facts. The clock struck 1:59. Ignoring my psychology professor's advice to study in efficient forty-minute blocks, I rushed to the telephone, quickly dialing up EBA's and ordering a Piccola Bubba. I hate barbeque chicken pizza but love saying the words Piccola Bubba.

In speaking with many of my fellow seniors, I came to the logical conclusion that one's 21st birthday should be a jubilant period of unrestrained celebration. After being threatened for 20 years about the potential consequences of underage drinking, 21-year-olds can, in one night, push aside all semblance of responsibility and sobriety.

Most people feel a natural sense of personal pride when they ponder their family lineage and the intense struggle in which their ancestors engaged in order to cope with the arduous chore of everyday living. In fact, a recent trend towards the tracing of family trees and the decoding of family names has converted the infrequent pastime into a multimillion dollar industry.

I have finally achieved the almighty status of being a Dartmouth senior, but with such a prestigious position comes the responsibility of deciding what I am going to do with my life -- i.e. my future plans.

Many freshman come to Dartmouth with the hope of maintaining a relationship with the Home-Town-Honey, a boyfriend or girlfriend who still resides within the confines of his/her Mom and Dad's home town.

Everyone succumbs at one point or another in their life to idiosyncratic behavior that is not completely understood by others.
