The introduction of the hashtag #dartmouth17s on Twitter is one of many measures the Admissions Office has taken to increase its social media presence. Admissions initially intended to use the hashtag to help track conversation on Twitter, but it has evolved into a way for current students, alumni, faculty and staff to reach out to accepted students.
My social media accounts have begun to pick up on an interesting trend. I see tweets along the lines of, "Today Student X said such and such," Instagram photos depicting a ridiculous answer to a test question and Facebook posts flooded with comments on how weird it is to be called by your last name. These posts force me to take a step back and think, "Wait, did Student X give you the permission to make that public?"
I like everything. Literally everything. For perspective purposes, remember last fall when I detailed my huge man-crush on Russell Wilson? Take that affection, and just spread it out everywhere, and obviously send it to everyone.
'13 Guy: Instagram is like a fine wine.
Full disclosure. It's 7 a.m. on Sunday morning and my playlist consists of Katy Perry, the Script, Jesse McCartney and the Lumineers.
With social media these days, you can find out anything you want to know about your favorite actors, singers or athletes. At this point, it's not even that you can probably find out anything you can actually find anything. Look at Manti Te'o. His life was exposed and then torn to pieces through Twitter, Facebook and mainstream media.
Then the years passed, and you discovered that this nice little dating scene was a devious fabrication of the entertainment industry, and your Friday nights were not going to include red roses, good night porch kisses or even legitimate conversation. Fictitious dates had completely poisoned your mind, leaving you with fantasy ideas that had no bearing on reality. And now, even though you know in your heart that IKEA employees don't actually let you make out in the beds and that any date that takes place at this furniture store will just leave you bickering over Swedish meatballs, a tiny piece of you is still holding out for that playful romp through floor displays from "500 Days of Summer."
After the long wait — and the extended shots of former president Bill Clinton and his extremely white teeth — Obama was sworn in and began his inaugural address. The crowds quieted and everyone concentrated on the President’s words. Families held each other close, and those around me waved flags and shouted words of approval in agreement with his firm and resolute stances on divisive social and political issues. Although we could only see him on the monitor, Obama appeared to have been speaking from the heart. It was powerful to watch the crowd respond and recognize that they were a part of something important.
Welcome back to campus, everyone! I hope you all had a great off term winter break! After so much time off, I am sure you are all tired of Instagramming photos of your Christmas tree.
When I first sat down to write this column, I figured I would reflect on the major sports stories of 2012. Oh, and Happy New Year everyone! Did you really think we weren't going to make it to 13W? I mean, for one, nothing was stopping me from finally reaching "nonnerdom," and definitely not some awful prediction from the Mayans. Yeah, I told you the Trojans were going to win the Bowl Championship Series. But the world ending? C'mon, man.
Quick, take as many Instagrams as you can of those pretty fall leaves before the trees shed them all! Now in the same vein: quick, check out all the seasonal offerings at these Hanover restaurants before their menus change for the winter! Below is a listing of autumnal menu items being served up at some of our beloved in-town establishments in order of what you should nosh on first.
The Great Vermont Corn Maze does not mess around. Four friends and I arrived at the maze in Danville 20 minutes after the maze's "last entry" at 2 p.m. They require arrival at least two hours before closing to leave yourself adequate time, and we joked that if necessary, we'd run through it to get out by 4 p.m.
While the U.S. Supreme Court prepares to hear a challenge to race-based affirmative action at the University of Texas on Wednesday, India's Supreme Court is hearing a case on caste-based affirmative action, The New York Times reported. In addition to considering students' race, religion and national origin, Indian universities currently reserve spots for students from "backward castes." This practice is in response to long-standing social and economic disadvantages of the Dalits and other "low" castes. Separate from the court case, the Indian Parliament is expected address this issue in the form of a possible constitutional amendment within the next few months. If approved, the amendment would allow caste-based quotas for university admission, government hiring and federal promotions. Some critics have argued, however, that many traditionally disadvantaged castes are currently prospering and that such quotas would be unfair. In the past, India's Supreme Court has not allowed university admissions quotas to surpass 50 percent of all admitted students. Anti-discrimination programs similar to India's quota system also exist in Brazil and Malaysia, according to The Times.
Three months following the announcement of a book deal with St. Martin's Press, a 69-page PDF file of a book proposal purportedly by Andrew Lohse '12 has been leaked on the Internet. The book, "Party at the End of the World," chronicles Lohse's time at the College, including his arrest for cocaine possession and witness tampering in 2010 and the hazing he claims to have endured as a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
What does Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson have in common with Angelina's Right Leg, Paul Ryan Gosling or Kim Kierkegaardashian? Well, thanks to the mysterious folks behind the Twitter account @DMouthsJohnson, Johnson may well be on her way to becoming the next celebrity online personality — whether she had ever planned to or not.
At Dartmouth, we like to win. It's no secret we were all the best in our high schools and we all want to be the best now. Everything, it seems intramural sports, a volunteer event like the Prouty or the chariot races comes with a prize, whether it's money, a T-shirt or even just bragging rights. You can't always win, but The Mirror is here to help. We've compiled a list of the most important things one needs to do to win Dartmouth, year by year, complete with a point system. Don't forget to count repeats!
In recent years, the blonde-haired, socially adept heroine of popular culture has undergone a drastic change: She has abandoned her snark and snobbery in favor of earth tones and idiosyncrasy. Cultural fodder like "Legally Blonde" (2001) has given way to the edgier material like "500 Days of Summer" (2009).
