"I don't like to only do biology and not anything else," she said. "It's really helpful to go and do something creative, work with my hands, and make something that's tangible, and hopefully beautiful and functional."
"I love every single medium," Hueston said. "I'm not great at every medium, but I like to try at least everything. And I have, which is fun because the classes are so tiny and the professors are amazing."
"I had the friendliest, most constructive conversation, and it was the greatest moment of my life," Garczynski said. "I stepped out of the theater that night knowing that I wanted to do [comedy]. That might be a little bit of a romantic view, but I keep looking back at that moment. To me that was a good omen, and it convinced me that I'd like to do this."
Munger said she first became interested in filmmaking at the start of high school and came to Dartmouth knowing she wanted to pursue film studies.
"I have been doing art since I could walk, essentially," Linkhorn said. "My grandfather worked for GE but he did cartoons on the side, and he taught me how to draw at a very young age. I've just been doing it ever since."
Even while the College celebrates its Year of the Arts and the Hopkins Center honors its 50-year history this weekend with a variety of events that spotlight our artistic alumni, actress Connie Britton '89 now the star of ABC's "Nashville," which premiered last night continues Dartmouth's artistic tradition outside of Hanover. Best known for her Emmy-nominated roles in "Friday Night Lights" and "America Horror Story," Britton, who was known as Connie Womack while a student at Dartmouth, now plays country singer superstar Rayna James, opposite actress Hayden Panettiere, in a television show that integrates music and drama.
"Night Hunter House" is a physical sculpture, but its multimedia aspect is what gives the display its meaning. The unique display is the companion piece to Steers' short film "Night Hunter" (2011), which was entered into the short film competition in the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Music professor Larry Polansky composed the score for the film.
Lord best-selling author of "Spring Moon: A Novel of China," "Legacies: A Chinese Mosaic" and the well-known children's book "In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson" serves on the Board of the Newseum, Freedom House and the Council on Foreign Relations. In 1998, Lord was also awarded the Eleanor Roosevelt Award for Humans Rights by President Bill Clinton.
After finding success on "The Sing-Off" last fall, the Dartmouth Aires have been reaping the benefits ever since, and next on their agenda is the fundraiser and a cappella showcase "A Cappella Palooza." Taking place on April 29 at Boston University's Agganis Arena, the event will be hosted by Ben Folds and feature groups from "The Sing-Off," with all proceeds going to Massachusetts General Hospital's Cancer Center.
Finally, a new blog is asking this imperative, long-standing question: Is Ryan Gosling cuter than a puppy? The Tumblr blog, which began in October 2011, has posted almost 100 pictures of Ryan Gosling, a puppy or, better yet, Ryan Gosling and a puppy together. It does a surprisingly impressive job of finding pictures that actually compare the two in very similar situations, like swimming, sleeping, playing the guitar or wearing sunglasses. My personal favorite is Ryan Gosling with George Clooney versus a puppy with George Clooney.
The 2012 Sundance Film Festival which opens today in Park City, Utah will feature a nominated short film scored by Dartmouth's own Larry Polansky, a composer and a professor of music at the College. The animated short, "Night Hunter" (2011), has been entered into the Shorts Competition
Coming out of holiday break, why not continue reveling in the New Year with the adorable duo from "(500) Days of Summer" (2009) in their rendition of Nancy Wilson's song, "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" This is a seriously adorable video of Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who decided to show off their musical talents to their fans via YouTube. Homemade videos like this are usually made by aspiring internet celebreties, but Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt are already megastars, which makes this video especially cool and intimate.
Dartmouth can be a very busy place throughout the school year, but balancing academics with extracurriculars and other activities can help provide a bit of relaxation.

The Summer Orchestra is a group of musicians in the class of 2013, many of whom play in other Hopkins Center ensembles such as the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra or the Dartmouth Wind Symphony during the regular school year.

Its repertoire is vast, ranging from Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" and Coldplay's "Viva la Vida" to MGMT's "Kids" and Tori Amos' "Snow Angel." Over the past five years, the Chorus has gained a following on YouTube (with over 29 million views of their videos) and has attracted the attention of celebrities such as Perez Hilton, Oprah, Kylie Minogue and the hosts of Good Morning America.
The most recent "Bad Romance" parody to rock the web is the Hui Zheng Lab's submission for the Molecular and Human Genetics Retreat at Baylor College of Medicine, titled "Bad Project." The nerdy lyrics are insanely clever and realistically explain the pain of a toiling scientist who is "caught in a bad project."
For Tuesday's sold out performance, Bell will play three major works by classical composers Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg and Franz Schubert.
Whoever said that grandmas can't be cool has definitely been proven wrong. Eighty-year-old great-grandmother Janey Cutler wowed viewers out last week on the British reality show "Britain's Got Talent." Although the judges were initially skeptical of her talent despite her endearing accent and delightful chuckle, Cutler had everyone in shock from the moment she opened her mouth to belt out Edith Piaf's "No Regrets." Soon the entire audience rose to its feet to cheer, and even Simon Cowell broke into a wide smile. While Cutler has been considered to be the next Susan Boyle, I contend that she will be even more popular. She is just too adorable.
The show began with a drum beat and "mic check" actually a surprise opening to the performance. Choir members streamed in from the back of the auditorium, singing a medley of popular tunes. The full choir reached the stage, forming a huge presence with even larger voices to match.
