Dear Freak of the Week,
Dearest fine readers of Mirror,
If you are a frequent reader of these editor’s notes, you might have noticed that these are often rather personal reflections. They are vulnerable and self-aware, and I’ve loved reading them long before I became tasked with writing my own.
Only one minor at Dartmouth finds students building roller coasters into the wee hours of the morning and taking over dorm common rooms as they cut up pieces of paper into as many different square variations as possible — Human-Centered Design.

While simple, the smoothie had all the necessary characteristics: fresh fruit, the subtle use of yogurt and a refreshing temperature that avoids the dreaded brain freeze. Unfortunately, the Pine no longer offers smoothies, leaving me with a burning question: Where is the best smoothie in Hanover?
