Winter has arrived in full force this week, and alongside the onslaught of ice and snow, another familiar sight for older students has appeared as well — after two years, ice skating is back on the Green. This Editorial Board would like to thank Dartmouth Facilities Operations and Management for installing the rink, which proved a hit in previous years. However, one logistical hiccup is preventing all of campus from enjoying this activity to the fullest extent possible: a lack of skates.

In an age where our screens hum with constant activity and our ears crave moments of tranquility, a peculiar trend has emerged, painting the digital landscape with shades of white, brown and pink noises. These noises are meant for concentration, stress reduction and sleep enhancement, respectively. These subtle sonic hues, once confined to scientific realms and sleep therapists’ recommendations, have found a new stage — one that pulsates with the rhythm of TikTok challenges, YouTube loops and Spotify playlists.

The time has come when days get shorter and daylight becomes scarce. Unsurprisingly, these changes in our environments can drastically affect our mood. While it may be easy to succumb to gloominess and stay cooped up all the time, there are better ways to combat feeling down.

Among the Ivy League, Dartmouth College is arguably the most remote of the eight schools. The Dartmouth undergraduate experience takes place primarily in a town of just 8,000 people. Some students don’t leave campus at all for days, if not weeks, at a time. The land around Dartmouth is sparsely populated, and the nearest major city, Boston, is more than two hours away. All of this contributes to the feeling of being stuck in the “Dartmouth bubble:” the insular environment that Dartmouth breeds. When Dartmouth’s small campus begins to feel like the entire world, the pressures of being a student can feel much more significant than when we have some distance. .

It seems like one topic of conversation that all Dartmouth students can agree on is that Dartmouth Dining is ripping us off.

Dartmouth College’s history with mental health is complicated. It’s undeniable that the administration has tried to create spaces for struggling students, but the availability, accessibility and quality of these resources are still insufficient. In a high-pressure environment where depression and anxiety risk factors are exacerbated, heavy workloads and constant conversation surrounding future plans and transitions, it’s vital that students are given the resources they need to stay healthy. It’s equally as important to provide these resources with as few barriers to access as possible to prevent students from becoming discouraged by too many referrals or excessive waiting times.

Fall is right at its climax: Pumpkin-flavored desserts at Foco have soared in frequency, Gile hikes are occurring daily and round two of midterms are hitting students at full force. But as we approach the end of fall at Dartmouth, many students are already whispering about the cold and the coming winter: with excitement, nostalgia and for some, dread.

The most recent publicly available information about the size of Dartmouth’s endowment puts the value of the school’s savings at almost double the GDP of Liberia at nearly eight billion dollars.
