Within three hours of getting back to campus this spring, I found myself at Late Night at the Class of 1953 Commons.
Ever since ordering my first matcha frappuccino from Starbucks, complete with whipped cream and raspberry syrup it has become one of my go-to orders. While some people dislike the “grassy” taste or chalky texture of matcha, I quickly developed a liking for the distinct flavor, regardless of the form: ice cream, tea or latte.
Somewhere in the dark woods of Hanover, there’s a graveyard of every class I didn’t take. When I buried Formal Logic, Modern Iran, the Hebrew Bible and every economics class after Econ 1 in that graveyard, I mourned the ideas I’d never study. But in my last 10-week term at Dartmouth, instead of squeezing the last drop of value out of my tuition, I’m using a rare opening in my schedule to take, well, nothing. And what have I gained from my two-course term?
When I first purchased my Dartmouth-green, leatherbound journal from Staples nine months ago, I did not imagine that it would become my best friend. It was an impulsive purchase, inspired by the junk journaling hysteria on my TikTok For You Page. Last summer, I devotedly wrote and scrapbooked in my journal with the hope that I would eventually dive back into the life I was living. From Fourth of July polaroids to ripped receipts from a December trip to Prague, I stuffed the pages with a lifetime’s worth of feeling.

Eloise Langan ’27 poses a very important question.
“Drill, baby, drill!”— to quote President Donald Trump’s inaugural address — is an acute synopsis of the Trump administration’s environmental policy. In just four months, Trump has gutted the Environmental Protection Agency, dismantled federal environmental justice initiatives, reinvigorated coal mining and unlawfully blocked clean energy funding. Critically, he has done this with the support of fossil fuel executives he has placed in positions of power such as Department of Energy secretary Chris Wright, the CEO of fracking company Liberty Energy. He has doubled down on utilizing oil and gas, despite the scientific consensus on the need for a reduction in the use of fossil fuels. His administration cut nearly $4 million in funding to Princeton University on the absurd premise that climate research is adding to climate anxiety. In reality it is inaction by those in power that keeps us up at night — not scientists doing their best to understand, solve and communicate the problem.
Picture this: it’s Friday night after a busy week, and you and your friends decide to share dinner in town. When it’s time to pay the bill, you look at your server, reach for your Dartmouth ID, and say, “I’d like to use Dartmouth dining dollars, please.” Now, what if I told you that this scenario isn’t as far from reality as you may think?
On April 18, demonstrators gathered in downtown Hanover to protest recent changes in federal and New Hampshire government. For 75 minutes, protesters raised signs from “dump DOGE” to “free Mohsen Mahdawi,” a detained Palestinian activist, while cars and pedestrians passed by.
