Reflection: Ins and Outs
(01/07/26 8:15am)
In the spirit of the New Year, a friend of mine recently sent me her “2025 ins and outs” list, which she rediscovered in the depths of her notes app. For those who might not be on New Year’s resolution TikTok, an “ins and outs” list is a compilation of things one brings with them into the New Year and leaves behind in the past year. I laughed to myself as I read through my friend’s list from last year, clearly a result of New Year’s brain — that fleeting rush of adrenaline and ambition that washes over people come January 1st. It’s the reason why open treadmills in the gym are nearly impossible to come by for the first couple of weeks of winter term.
Reflection: Silence in Winterim
(01/07/26 8:10am)
The thing that motivates students most during finals season in Hanover is the promise of going home when it’s all over. Most students leave to go home for the 6-week break, while others have no choice but to stay. After 10 weeks of hustle and bustle, I waved goodbye to my friends and saw the campus usually packed with Dartmouth students suddenly empty. This winterim, the second I’ve spent on campus alone, the realization of my isolation became more apparent than ever.
Reflection: A Long Way from Hanover
(01/07/26 8:25am)
This past fall, I was the first Dartmouth student to study abroad, and now I’m hoping to be the first Mirror writer to write about it. During my three months away, I joined 19 other students on the English and Creative Writing foreign study program in London, which is offered every two years. While on my program, we toured different parts of London, along with the neighboring cities of Bath and Canterbury. Our classwork revolved around the ways that different authors interact with the cityscape of London.
Welcoming the Holiday Season: Early Holiday Celebrations on Campus
(11/17/25 8:10am)
As fall term winds down and campus prepares for winterim, some Dartmouth students find themselves celebrating the holiday season weeks earlier than its actual dates. Rather than dampening festivities, the long break schedule has produced an array of unique traditions — from cozy craft nights to full-scale Thanksgiving banquets — that bring students together before they scatter for the six-week break.

At the end of my sophomore summer, I found myself standing in the backyard of my sorority house under a canopy of twinkle lights and gold streamers. Everything glowed — the grass, the music, the people I loved, all blurred together in this warm, shimmering haze. We were laughing and crying and dancing in circles, hugging each other so tightly it felt like maybe, if we held on long enough, we could keep the night from ending. Later, after everyone drifted home, a few of us climbed out onto the roof, still in our formal dresses, staring out over the edge as we talked into the early hours of the morning. It was dramatic in the most delicious way, an ending that knew it was an ending.
Reflection: There Is No Perfect Time
(11/17/25 8:05am)
Lately, I’ve been feeling like a broken record. Whenever anyone asks me how my term is going, the first thing I can think to say is, “It’s flying by.”

13 days from now, the Dartmouth Coach will take me away from Hanover and will likely not bring me back until next fall. 13 days from now, I will say goodbye to the friendships I’ve had since freshman fall and those I’ve made this term, to my current favorite study spots — the Foco tiny booths and Novack high tables — and to the ridiculously cramped bathroom stalls in my dorm building. 13 days from now, my D-Plan will force me — or allow me, depending on how you look at it — to take a roughly nine month break from campus.
Shortening the Distance: When Long-Distance Partners Visit Dartmouth
(11/12/25 8:20am)
Between the crisp air and steady rhythm of students crossing the Green, campus settles into a leisurely pace on Saturdays. For many, it’s just another weekend. But for a select few, it’s a long-awaited relief because their romantic partners have finally arrived for a visit.

Freak of the Week: Third Wheel Blues
(11/05/25 8:05am)
My best friend has been dating this guy since last fall. Over the months, I’ve become increasingly annoyed with him. Lately, I’ve been really struggling to not be openly hostile when he’s around, which is very often — I don’t know if he has his own friends. He’s nice and all, but he chews with his mouth open and participates in every conversation by asking the most inane questions. My friend is in love with him, so I don’t want to tell her how I feel about him but I don’t know how much longer I can go on like this.

I’m currently taking a class called Jane Austen’s Afterlives. I’ve always considered myself an Austen fan, despite the fact that until recently, I’d only read “Pride and Prejudice.” But Austen feels like one of those authors you can claim even with minimal exposure. Her characters and stories seep into the cultural consciousness through so many retellings and adaptations that you almost feel like you know them before opening the book. Between “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Clueless” and the endless stream of TikToks about Mr. Darcy, it felt safe to say I was a fan.
How Students Support Learning as Tutors, Fellows and Assistants
(11/05/25 8:10am)
When students think of learning at Dartmouth, they might picture a professor at the board, writing out equations as rows of undergraduates frantically scribble notes. However, plenty of learning happens outside the lecture hall, whether it be late-night tutoring sessions, small lab groups or office hours run by peers only a year or two older than the students they’re helping.
Pong Paddles, Pints and the Perks of Turning 21 in Hanover
(11/05/25 8:20am)
A couple of weeks ago, my friend celebrated her 22nd birthday. Being the Type A person that she is, she spent days meticulously planning a bar crawl for the big night, but a few friends and I were determined to do something special to surprise her. During the week leading up to her birthday, we collected decorations and cupcakes to prepare for a mini celebration pre-bar crawl.
Inside the Dartmouth Libraries Sticker Collection
(11/05/25 8:20am)
You’ve likely seen the Dartmouth Libraries stickers dozens of times around campus, stuck to water bottles, computer cases laying out at the library's circulation desk. I first discovered them at the Baker-Berry Library open house, where a handful were out on display. There are 27 sticker designs in total, distinguished by their unique style: colorful, imaginative and playfully abstract. Each circular sticker represents a specific library or study space, designated in bold font on the bottom.

The Voices Crying Out on Wheelock Street: A Look Inside The Friday Afternoon Protests
(10/29/25 7:25am)
On a Friday afternoon, the aimless wanderer or even the dedicated speed-walker might hear the raucous sound of car horns bursting forth from the intersection just outside of Collis. No, this isn’t a traffic jam; it’s the site of a protest that has been occurring weekly for the past 35 weeks.
Reflection: A Bite of Every Fig
(10/29/25 7:10am)
The night before move-in day, I broke down in tears at dinner with my family — not because I was worried about leaving home or making friends, but because I was convinced that the courses I took, clubs I joined and social circles I situated myself in while at Dartmouth would shape my future. And even more frightening, I knew that there would be no redoing it.
