After some deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that our friendship has been built (in part) upon a love of two things: messy buns and elastic waistbands. While there is definitely some camaraderie in consistently looking like you just woke up or wearing gym clothes to create the illusion of fitness, you may be surprised to learn that the vast majority of people don’t view sweatpants with quite the same admiration that we do. Searching desperately for a community that would appreciate our unique sense of style and disdain for restrictive clothing, we ventured down to Mighty Yoga in Hanover for a class.

In recent months, colleges across the country have seen a spate of demonstrations regarding issues of identity, with students demanding greater inclusivity on their campuses. Many resemble Dartmouth’s April “Freedom Budget” protests, when over a dozen students occupied College President Phil Hanlon’s office for two days, demanding a point-by-point response to a list of over 70 demands regarding issues of diversity.

As we head toward the final Dimensions weekend and “commitment day” for high school seniors everywhere, the question on every Dartmouth student’s mind is: Will our yield rate follow the pattern of the recent application rates? Will we miss out on some of the best and brightest students? This past year has seen both a decline in applications to Dartmouth and an increase in our acceptance rate. Yet the administration continues to display its ignorance of everyday student life around campus, acting seemingly independently of popular opinion.

I walk to the locker room precisely three and a half hours before each game. And every time, my hands start to shake, and questions begin racing through my head: Is my team ready? Am I ready? How will the game turn out?

Walk around FoCo on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and you’re bound to notice a common theme among the diners. Many are slumped in their chairs, elbows on the table to support the weight of their heads, with looks on their faces that resemble those of extras from “The Walking Dead.” We’ve all been there.

As a Title IX investigation continues at Dartmouth, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand ’88, D-N.Y., announced Monday that she and Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., will work together to combat sexual assault on college campuses. As a first step, Gillibrand and McCaskill released a letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee requesting $109 million in new federal funds to be used for Clery Act and Title IX enforcement on college campuses, according to an April 7 press release from Gillibrand’s office.

Students breezed in and out of Collis Common Ground, meditating, finger painting and playing with therapy dogs at a mental health fair on Wednesday. The fair, attended by over 400 students, offered free depression and mental health screenings as well as meetings with counselors and nutritionists.

At Dartmouth, life moves at breakneck speed. We’re booked by the hour, sleeping in the stacks and studying in the KAF line, but as long as things go according to plan, we manage.

For a final project in a design thinking engineering class, Sophie Sheeline ’16 and her team proposed a new social network called the “Granite system” to replace the Greek system. Freshmen would be sorted into one of 30 houses based on the results of Myers-Briggs personality tests, with each house containing various personality types. Basement vending machines would sell beer, and the proceeds would go toward financial aid stipends.

One day, while working in my dad’s office during the summer of 2008, he asked me to look up a clip from “Deliverance” (1972). Instead of finding the clip, I discovered the full-length movie, legal and free, nestled in the arms of the warmest place on the Internet: Hulu. My dad and I looked at each other, knowing that we had just discovered every movie buff’s dream.

In February 2013, 10 administrators, faculty members and advisors gathered to discuss forming a stand-alone suicide intervention program. The effort, coordinated by Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson, set out to create a program that encompassed suicide prevention training, increased community outreach from the Counseling and Human Development Department and developing a website where students, parents and faculty could go to get more information on suicide prevention.

When things are normalized, they are tolerated — even in clearly problematic cases. The recent discussion about sexual assault has made me, and hopefully others, think critically about where we as a community and culture go wrong with our obligation to treat others as we wish to be treated. I believe that the national obsession with a normalized and destructive party culture, one that prioritizes unhealthy substance use and casual sexual behavior, contributes to the prevalence of sexual assault on college campuses. This infatuation with unrealistic and demeaning behavior is an ugly truth that spawns many of the problems that exist at Dartmouth and beyond.

Books will be written on the awfulness of “Winter’s Tale” (2014). The odd decisions, stale lines and questionable career choices will keep film scholars and BuzzFeed writers at bay for decades. If you were dragged to this movie on a Valentine’s Day date, rethink your relationship. If a relative decides a few months from now to give this movie as a gift, cut off all contact and disown him or her. If you’re on a plane and this is the in-flight movie, fake a heart attack. The resulting legal proceedings and hospital bills will be better than subjecting yourself to two hours of “Winter’s Tale.”

At 249 million miles away, astronauts living on Mars may face loneliness, depression and other forms of mental illness. To help those in remote areas, like outer space, find relief from depression, Geisel School of Medicine professors Mark Hegel and Jay Buckey and Harvard Medical School psychiatry instructor JamesCartreinedeveloped a computer-based therapy program called electronic problem-solving treatment, or ePST.

In its most recent issue, The Dartmouth Review published history professor Russell Rickford’s speech at the 22nd Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Candlelight Vigil in full. He explains the ways in which King’s legacy — the legacy that mainstream American culture has embraced — serves to blind us from the structural racism that still plagues our society. Our annual honoring of King — rather, his sanitized, commercialized counterpart who never actually existed — is a means of self-congratulation on our nation’s supposed achievement of racial harmony.

Depression can feel like staring down from the top of a precipice, said Wei Wu ’14, speaking in a student panel on anxiety and mental illness Thursday evening. Asking for help early, she said, is key.
