Remember your freshman dorm kitchen? Most likely crusty, unused and stocked with the food of terrifying upperclassmen who would toss a blasé (most likely off campus, which, as a sophomore, I am still embarrassingly in awe of ) dish in the refrigerator for maybe weeks, but no one would have the nerve to walk to the side of their hall to say anything?

Once a floormate, a sweet football player from Tulsa, Oklahoma, decided to treat us to mac and cheese with the help of the kitchen. When we smelled burning noodles and peered in upon the soggy, fluorescent mess in front of us, we were greeted with a good natured “you’re supposed to use half-and-half in Easy Mac, right?” After that, I limited my usage of the kitchen to hot water and heating up Collis leftovers.

For a final project in a design thinking engineering class, Sophie Sheeline ’16 and her team proposed a new social network called the “Granite system” to replace the Greek system. Freshmen would be sorted into one of 30 houses based on the results of Myers-Briggs personality tests, with each house containing various personality types. Basement vending machines would sell beer, and the proceeds would go toward financial aid stipends.

We both wore infinity scarves and chatted briefly about the previous evening’s festivities. I certainly wouldn’t have guessed, at first, that Whicker spends her Dartmouth Days working hard in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, a program geared toward creating officers for the U.S. Army.
