Review: The 10 Albums That Defined 2025
(01/09/26 7:06am)
2024’s music scene was rife with chart-topping releases and cultural landmarks – from the Kendrick Lamar-Drake feud to Brat Summer. Against that backdrop, 2025 was never going to compete on spectacle alone. Instead, it emerged as a more reflective year, with many artists leaning into more emotionally intentional projects. Japanese Breakfast turned inward on “For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women),” resisting the urge to recreate the euphoric immediacy of “Be Sweet,” while Justin Bieber surprised listeners with “SWAG,” a raw R&B pivot rooted in faith and introspection.
Guillermo del Toro’s ‘Frankenstein’ does justice to Mary Shelley’s gothic classic
(01/09/26 7:13am)
Those familiar with Mary Shelley’s 1818 classic gothic horror novel “Frankenstein; Or, The Modern Prometheus” know that the central creature is nameless — not, as many think, named after his mad scientist creator. Built from various body parts and electric currents, rejected by humanity for the body he did not ask for, he wanders alone with neither a name nor a companion. Featuring trademark whimsical cinematography and standout acting, Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” loyally and memorably interprets the classic. The latest in a long line of adaptations, del Toro’s film insightfully explores the background of the creator Victor Frankenstein (Oscar Isaac) while giving due place to the perspective of the creature (Jacob Elordi).
Alahyari: The Case of Bari Weiss Is a Warning About Institutional Restraint
(01/09/26 9:15am)
When the College announced its policy of institutional restraint in December 2024, it entered uncharted territory. There was no precedent for such a policy in Dartmouth’s history, which left room for much debate over its implications. Now, however, the policy has found its analogue in a surprising place — not at another university, but at the CBS headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. And yet, rather than reassuring us about Dartmouth’s policy, the case at CBS News is quickly becoming an omen about what exactly could go wrong with institutional neutrality at Dartmouth, and how a policy designed to promote free speech could be co-opted just as quickly to restrict it.
McKenna: Context Matters When Discussing Greek Life at Dartmouth
(01/09/26 9:30am)
As the 2025 summer president of Dartmouth’s Interfraternity Council and a member of Greek Life at Dartmouth, I feel as though I have a unique perspective from both a macro and personal level that I’d like to share in response to The Dartmouth's article about Greek Life.

(01/08/26 10:05am)
At the beginning of the 2025-26 academic year, Dartmouth brought in 30 new tenured and tenure-track scholars across disciplines, including atmospheric science, studio art, economics and East European studies. Two of the 30 new members are Dartmouth alumni.
Taneja: Think Thrice Before Dropping Out To Join The Tech Craze
(01/08/26 10:00am)
The other day, another Dartmouth ’27 announced they were leaving, after receiving the first round of funding of venture capital for their start-up from an alum. They join at least five students from the Class of 2026 who departed after admission to Y Combinator. All of them, unsurprisingly, are building artificial intelligence business-to-business, software-as-a-service companies. I love that Dartmouth is generating entrepreneurs, and I have written in the past about the need to recognize them. However, I am critical of how some glorify leaving college and treat it as a rite of passage in building a successful business.
Arzoumanidis: Crack Open A Book
(01/08/26 9:15am)
The Dartmouth Green is the heart of Dartmouth’s campus. It’s quintessentially college: on a warm, sunny day, students populate the Green playing various games, doing homework and catching up with friends. Lately, however, it feels one activity has been missing: reading. Even though I have been at Dartmouth for just over a year, I can count on one hand the number of times I have seen students reading physical books.
Moyse: The Billion Dollar War For Your Mind
(01/08/26 9:00am)
Upon returning to campus this term, I had a moment to catch up with friends. My winter breaks are generally pretty quiet, so when asked how I passed the six weeks, I usually say, “I read and wrote.” Upon hearing this, two of my close friends earnestly confessed to me that they couldn’t remember the last time they had actually finished a book cover to cover. One of them smirked ruefully at me. “Am I like, totally fucked?” He asked, already seeming to know the answer to his own question.

(01/08/26 10:10am)

Freak of the Week: Dr. Jekyll and Mr.…
(01/07/26 8:20am)
Dear FOtW,
Reflection: Ins and Outs
(01/07/26 8:15am)
In the spirit of the New Year, a friend of mine recently sent me her “2025 ins and outs” list, which she rediscovered in the depths of her notes app. For those who might not be on New Year’s resolution TikTok, an “ins and outs” list is a compilation of things one brings with them into the New Year and leaves behind in the past year. I laughed to myself as I read through my friend’s list from last year, clearly a result of New Year’s brain — that fleeting rush of adrenaline and ambition that washes over people come January 1st. It’s the reason why open treadmills in the gym are nearly impossible to come by for the first couple of weeks of winter term.
Reflection: Silence in Winterim
(01/07/26 8:10am)
The thing that motivates students most during finals season in Hanover is the promise of going home when it’s all over. Most students leave to go home for the 6-week break, while others have no choice but to stay. After 10 weeks of hustle and bustle, I waved goodbye to my friends and saw the campus usually packed with Dartmouth students suddenly empty. This winterim, the second I’ve spent on campus alone, the realization of my isolation became more apparent than ever.
Reflection: A Long Way from Hanover
(01/07/26 8:25am)
This past fall, I was the first Dartmouth student to study abroad, and now I’m hoping to be the first Mirror writer to write about it. During my three months away, I joined 19 other students on the English and Creative Writing foreign study program in London, which is offered every two years. While on my program, we toured different parts of London, along with the neighboring cities of Bath and Canterbury. Our classwork revolved around the ways that different authors interact with the cityscape of London.
First members of Class of 2030 ‘excited’ to join Dartmouth community
(01/06/26 10:05am)
On Dec. 15, the College offered early admission to the first members of the Class of 2030. In the aftermath of the decision releases, admitted students reflected on the people and resources that drew them to the College.
From internships to outdoor trips, students make the most of winterim
(01/06/26 10:00am)
Over winter break, students participated in a wide range of activities, from internships to trips with the Dartmouth Outing Club. Dartmouth’s winter break — also known as “winterim” — is unique compared to that of many other colleges. From Thanksgiving until after New Year’s, students are off-campus for approximately six weeks, providing them extended time to pursue opportunities.
