A dim light and muffled chatter fill the dark side of the Class of 1953 Commons. I sit across from my friend as we talk about the lives of people we don’t know. Our heads are on a swivel, scanning the space out of habit. I look down at my meal. It’s what I’ve been getting every night for the past few weeks: rice and chicken coated in teriyaki sauce, alongside a salad with balsamic vinegar and too many red pepper flakes.

As an international student from India, I’ve found that I am just as much Delhi’s as I am Dartmouth’s. While I am often not fully present in either place, I am never truly absent either. Whenever I return to Delhi, I hyper-fixate on everything that is different — how my city has changed, how I have. For me, it’s usually only small details — my childhood park getting renovated, the family jokes I need to be looped into, having to look up the route to my best friend’s house — yet it still feels all-consuming.

For some students, Dartmouth is best viewed through the lens of a camera. Whether capturing a campus event, the seasons of New Hampshire or classroom life, student photographers get to document the College’s history in real time — and share their work with students, alumni and prospective applicants across the world.

In classic SZA fashion, the deluxe version of her second album “SOS,” titled “Lana,” arrived later than expected — a testament to her perfectionism. Although teased to release at the stroke of midnight on Dec. 20, 2024, SZA spent the morning making finishing touches, sweetening the deal by dropping a teaser music video, featuring actor Ben Stiller, for the song “Drive” at the original drop time. It wasn’t until 3 p.m. when my Spotify refreshed and I was finally able to embark on my latest SZA-inspired spiritual journey. A winterim-emptied and situationship-drained receptacle, I sat on a park bench near my home in Florida and pressed play. Dropped two years after its parent album, the deluxe version was well worth the wait. On that perfectly sunny afternoon, I floated away to the tune of the opening flute synths on “No More Hiding.”

Ever dreamed of posting your very own fish picture on Instagram, posing proudly with your catch of the day? Look no further. Since the spring of 2023, the College’s ice and fly fishing classes have provided Dartmouth students with hands-on, unique outdoor adventures.

As the College’s six-week winter break, or “winterim,” drew to a close at the beginning of January, I found myself torn. On one hand, I felt the comfort and excitement of reuniting with the Dartmouth community. On the other, though, I found myself experiencing a growing dread of winter in Hanover. I would not be returning to the mild, sunny Mediterranean shores of my childhood, but instead, 10 weeks of genuine New England cold. I knew then that the term would be defined by snow and ice, treacherous falls, relentless colds — and the occasional plumbing mishap. As I navigate this new climate — my first winter as a Dartmouth student — what I realize is that the challenges of the term do not just stem from physical hardships, but more from the unspoken difficulties that many students face during the term. These struggles deserve more open acknowledgement.

This week, the Supreme Court may rule on the constitutionality of the Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, a bipartisan bill that will ban TikTok in the United States if the company is not sold by Jan. 19. Once in effect, TikTok — a subsidiary of Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance — will be removed from app stores, while users in the United States will no longer be able to update the app, CNN reported.

On Jan. 7, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Meta is ending its “fact-checking” program on its social media platforms. The system of community notes written by platform users “decide[s] when posts are potentially misleading or need more context,” according to Meta’s website. In an online video, Zuckerberg said that “It’s time to get back to our roots around free expression on Facebook and Instagram.” Some on social media fear the decision will allow for “the freedom of disinformation” and the valuing of “misinformation over democracy.” USA Today even released an article headlined “Why Meta went MAGA.”

Somewhere in West Texas last September, Bond Almand IV ’26 lapped water from a cow trough. The cyclist was out of water, and the next town was 20 miles away. He sweltered under 106 degree heat as a forest of oil rigs stretched out before him.

This August, many of us will peruse through the endless aisles of IKEA with our parents, arguing over comforter patterns and pillowcase sizes. In September, we’ll pack up our lives and drive or fly to Hanover, eager to start anew. Yet leaving our homes behind is far more complicated for some of us. For Omar Rashid, an incoming member of the Class of 2029 currently living in Gaza, the journey to Dartmouth is fraught with unimaginable challenges, and his dream of joining our community hangs by a thread.

There’s nothing like buying good quality, well-sourced clothes — a conscious effort in our current era of Shein hauls and Depop scammers. Luckily, in nearby Woodstock, Vt., lies a hidden gem: the vintage boutique Mahshu.

On Dec. 13, 2024, the College offered admission to the first members of the Class of 2029 from a pool of 3,550 early decision applicants. Though the College has not released the number of accepted students, the rate is consistent with previous years, according to Dartmouth News.

If you are a regular visitor of the Class of 1953 Commons, it has been difficult to miss Dartmouth Dining’s new hand scanner initiative that promises the ability to scan into Foco with just a wave of your hand. It seems that Dartmouth Dining has a table set up in the building entryway to sign students up for the program almost every time I pass through. Dining workers have been offering candy and other incentives for students to scan their hand prints. Although it might seem like a small change, I believe Dartmouth Dining’s aggressive push towards using this technology at Foco is a shameless attempt to cut costs that presents unaddressed privacy concerns about the storage and protection of student biometric data.

The Fling, a rock-focused student cover band founded in spring 2024, has its roots in a late night Denny’s visit, according to keyboard player and vocalist Darby Waller ’25. At 4 a.m., Waller and guitarist and vocalist Greg Hirsch ’25 — then classmates in MUS 22, “Creative Music Theory II” — found themselves discussing the possibility of a new band over eggs and pancakes.

For many Dartmouth freshmen, the first taste of college comes in the form of First-Year Trips. Trips showcase the best of Dartmouth’s community and deeply-rooted traditions, which come to life while stuck in the woods with a group of relative strangers. It’s easy to fall into the trap of “Camp Dartmouth” and forget the difficulty of the journey ahead.
