In asserting my admiration for tattoos, I'm not going to give an intellectualized answer of why I think they are cool. Four years of academia has made me bored of searching for explanations and rationalizations of everything. Tattoos aren't for the planners, the everything-by-the-book kind of people. I think they're interesting because you make a decision and you go for it.
The historic battle between the elliptical machine and the treadmill can be resolved by one quote from Marilyn Monroe: "I'd rather be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."
On the first day of Amber's job as a nude art model, she was nervous.
Writing an article in favor of New Year's resolutions seemed hypocritical to me, because after wracking my brain, I cannot think of a single resolution I have ever kept. I didn't get more rest. I didn't eat less dessert. I still procrastinate and, sadly, I have not yet learned how to cook, unless you count the microwave. I am a Microwave Goddess.

Raise your hand if this sounds like your typical schedule: Leave Hanover at 1 a.m. on Friday. Drive out to Cathedral Ledge. Sleep in the car. Wake up early. Climb all day. Walk down the mountain. Drive home.

The latest show of extravagantly wealthy teenagers running around and wreaking havoc on each others' egos comes in the form of "Gossip Girl," on the CW Network Wednesdays at 9 p.m.. While the dialogue often leaves much to be desired and some scenes are annoyingly over the top, the show itself has just enough back-stabbing, juicy drama to keep viewers coming back for more.
"What is this supposed to be about anyways?" a girl asked her friend in Moore Theater before the beginning of Dartmouth's Nov. 8 mainstage production of "Hair." "I think it's about hippies," her friend said.
Do your Facebook interests include blacking out, Mary J. and slam pigs? Are you passed out next to a box of Keystone, eyes glazed over, boot by your side, in all of your Facebook pictures? Would Googling your name bring up a YouTube video of that really bad decision you made freshman year?
With Halloween right around the corner, I decided I wanted to put my questions about ghosts to rest. Do they exist? In a quest for truth, I sought out two haunted inns in Vermont to talk to staff members about the mysterious happenings they have witnessed. Put down your spiked cider and decide for yourself if you believe.
What if you went on a freshman tour where strange men kidnapped a prospie, stripped him to his underwear, duct taped his hands and shoved him out of a van? Or on a DOC trip where crazy Dartmouth-hating through hikers tied a freshman to a tree?

It's summer -- the season of sunshine, sweat and skimpy clothing. Only this time around you're at Dartmouth, land of hot hookups and quick goodbyes where connections are formed as fast as pong balls flying across the table. These bonds are often broken in the time it takes to chug a beer, but sometimes, with a role of dice, people fall for each other after falling on each other.
