At 5:45 a.m. on Sunday, May 18, a hot air balloon lifted into the sky. It rose above a dinosaur sculpture made from scrap lumber and used nails and a wooden building filled with sewing machines, dusty beer bottles and plastic flamingos. This is the Post Mills Airport, located 17 miles from Hanover in the town of Thetford, Vt. For years, it has served as the site of the Experimental Balloon & Airship Association Meet, which took place this year from May 16 through May 18.

Springtime in the Upper Valley is in full bloom, and Dartmouth students can finally leave their rooms wearing fewer than three layers. Hiking is a great way to get off campus, clear your mind, take in the nice weather and watch the seasons change.

As I blew out the waxy rainbow candles of my Lou’s birthday cake two weeks ago, I have to admit that I didn’t feel all that different. I was one year older — and no longer a teenager — but still surrounded by the same friends, in the same dorm room, with the same ideas and aspirations. Being twenty felt … ordinary.

After a bleak winter and the rain of the past week, spring is finally in bloom at Dartmouth. Bright smiles and sunshine light up every corner of campus. But with all the excitement of warmth, it is easy to neglect the unique opportunities that lie just beyond Hanover. While many students may endeavor to hike local trails, paddleboard on the Connecticut River or spikeball on the green, if you are looking to stare nature right in the face this spring while supporting local conservation efforts, I highly recommend visiting the array of avian exhibits featured at the Vermont Institute of Natural Science Nature Center.

Dartmouth’s athletics program is among the College’s biggest selling points, bringing together students, alumni and Hanover community members for games and matches year-round. 75% of Dartmouth students are involved in sports, creating a vibrant sports culture on campus. It’s no surprise that the NCAA Division 1 men’s and women’s basketball tournaments — commonly known as “March Madness”— are followed closely by Dartmouth students during the spring term.

As my time at Dartmouth draws to a close and graduation quickly approaches, I’ve been trying to make sense of the four years I’ve spent tucked away in the woods of Hanover. The ultimate irony of college is that right as you’ve settled in and established your sense of place and friendships, you have to say goodbye and start all over again. Though there is beauty to be found in new beginnings, it doesn’t seem right to move on without gratitude for the present moment.

A row of red barns; a golden dog to herd cows; paint peeling where it is supposed to. A pair of friendly tenant farmers. The farm blends into the Vermont landscape.

“This is bliss / This is Hell / Forever is a feeling / And I know it well,” sings singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus in the titular track of her fourth solo album, “Forever is a Feeling.” These lines depict the central juxtaposition of the record which grapples with the ephemerality of love. Dacus knows “forever” is impossible, but she wants it all the same.

Students are overwhelmingly unhappy with the recent changes made to the Courtyard Cafe implemented at the beginning of spring term — which include new touchscreen kiosks and the construction of a wall between students and workers.

On Feb. 27, Dartmouth Divest for Palestine — a coalition of College students, faculty, staff and alumni — organized a protest to “tell the Board of Trustees to invest in workers not the war machine,” according to a flyer for the event. Approximately 60 students and community members attended the protest.

As of June of 2023, race-based affirmative action is no longer permissible, and even when it was practiced, it failed to achieve its goals. When former Supreme Court Justice Lewis Powell authored his 1978 opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke — which determined whether affirmative action violated the Equal Protections Clause of the 14th Amendment — he justified race-based admissions as a means to achieve diversity that fosters a “robust exchange of ideas.” The deference that universities were granted when selecting their incoming classes was thus carefully predicated on achieving the educational benefits that flow from “viewpoint diversity,” a point that is almost entirely overlooked in the modern discourse surrounding this issue.

In my sophomore year at Dartmouth, I auditioned for the Dog Day Players — a highly competitive campus improv group. At least 100 people showed up to the initial audition. We were packed into a lecture hall, way over capacity. We filled every seat, poured out onto the staircase and lined the walls. It was loud and boisterous. People puffed their chests, deepened their voices and exuded extroverted confidence. I knew I had to make a strong impression. Despite having no prior experience, I managed to make the room roar with laughter and was selected, among a few others, for a second round.
