When I think about my past nights out on campus, my cherished memories are accompanied by a musical soundtrack. There’s a reason why I had LF System’s “Afraid to Feel” stuck in my head all last winter, and why this year I can’t stop singing the main chorus from the NOTION remix of Chrystal’s “The Days.” These rhythms served as the backdrop to nights spent in a sweaty fraternity, packed into a room dancing with friends or a now-gone situationship. Whether bringing on a wave of nostalgia, releasing negative emotions, building shared bonds among friends or becoming incessant earworms, the sounds of Dartmouth — particularly those playing in fraternity basements — never seem to quiet themselves.

A mob of ghosts crowd the street. Mummies shuffle forward with arms outstretched while autumn leaves crunch beneath their cloth-wrapped feet. They all march towards the same door, outlined by a white arch set in colonial brick.

For many Dartmouth students, a mention of “the Lodge” might spark visions of First-Year Trips, flair and the chaos of hundreds of students after spending the previous three days isolated in the wilderness. But those two weeks in early September when the Moosilauke Ravine Lodge is bursting with nervous freshmen and covered in signs, streamers and balloons only represent a small portion of the Lodge’s character.

“Cycling up here is like the ultimate powder day,” my dad, Mr. Scarola, said just before departing on a gravel bike ride during my freshman move-in weekend. He was so consumed by the beauty of the Upper Valley that he got lost in the Norwich woods without cell service. After a not-so-fun excursion to try to find him near Gile Mountain, a missed dinner reservation and a dorm room that still needed unpacking, I made a promise to my dad: For his future visits to campus, I would compile the best cycling routes in the Upper Valley.

As the fall term dawns on us, seniors are entering their final year on campus as members of the Class of 2025. During their time at Dartmouth, they’ve taken seminars, labs and lectures, exploring Dartmouth through a multitude of departments. Beyond the classroom, they’ve completed sophomore summer, enjoyed off-terms and traveled abroad. So what does their last year look like? In many cases, seniors choose to showcase their academic growth by devoting their last year to completing a thesis — a culminating experience tailored to their major.

From Duke Ellington to the Grateful Dead, Neon Trees to this year’s headliner, Shaggy, Green Key — Dartmouth’s annual spring concert — has hosted artists representing nearly every genre of music. Thanks to the performers and the accompanying weekend events, Green Key is widely considered the most exciting weekend of spring term. Unlike most terms at Dartmouth — fall devolving into barren trees and fading tans, winter becoming numbingly cold and inconceivably slushy — spring seems to get better and better, with Green Key acting as the light at the end of the tunnel.

In 2008, during his last year of graduate school at Duke University, government professor Brendan Nyhan won a fellowship to launch an “innovative teaching project,” according to Nyhan. Through the fellowship, Nyhan created what has since become one of Dartmouth’s most unique government courses — GOVT 83.21, “Experiments in Politics.”

In a typical Dartmouth admissions cycle, 95% of accepted applicants are in the top 10% of their high school class. If this isn’t impressive enough, about 25% of admitted students are valedictorians.

Mid Fayerweather Hall on a Saturday morning isn’t always a pretty sight. Walking into the common room, you might find it completely trashed — chunks missing from the wall, garbage scattered across the floor, chairs upended — the unfortunate result of a rowdy Friday night. We often take our living spaces for granted without appreciating the hard work of those who keep them neat and tidy. This week, I decided to spotlight one of the staff members who keeps our living spaces clean while we run from classes to clubs to Greek houses — and everywhere in between.

Don’t we all have that one “platonic” friend from high school we promised to marry if we’re still single at 30?
