Before I arrived at Dartmouth last fall, I had not skied in over four years. Nonetheless, I eagerly bought a discounted student pass to the Dartmouth Skiway over winterim. I was ready to embrace the icy New England winter and revive my rusty skiing skills at a mountain just 13 miles away from campus. Sure enough, escaping to the Skiway, whether on a cloudy Tuesday morning or a bustling Saturday afternoon, has been a highlight of my term and made the season feel much less dreary.

In a 2021 AMC Theatres promotional campaign, actress Nicole Kidman struts into a movie theater wearing a pantsuit and heels, announcing that “we come to this place for magic.”

What roles have you held on The Dartmouth, and what was your role on the 181st Directorate?

Mirror, Mirror, on the wall: it’s Gretchen, writing from one of the mysteriously-stained, slightly-too-squishy couches that lives on the second floor of Robinson Hall — the same couch I’ve sat on for the past four years at Mirror story assignment meetings. To be honest, I’ve been dreading this Editors’ Note — the last of the 181st Directorate — because the end of my time on Directorate is akin to taking the first step on the path that leads to graduation. And that, in turn, feels somewhat like stepping off the edge of a cliff when you don’t know what lies beneath — not to be dramatic or anything. Clearly, our last night of production is filling me with the first twinges of nostalgia for my college experience.

As New Hampshire’s newly elected Kid Governor for 2025, fifth-grader Jade Adams from Wells Memorial School in Harrisville, N.H., hopes to make New Hampshire the 13th state to ban animal testing. The Kid Governor program is a national award-winning civics program for fifth graders created by the Connecticut Democracy Center and has been implemented in four states. In New Hampshire, the program is led by civics education organization N.H. Civics in partnership with the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, an academic institute at Saint Anselm College. According to Adams, she entered a primary in her classroom and won her school’s nomination during a school-wide election. With the help of her friends and family, she created a campaign video that focused on animal testing. Last November, fifth graders around New Hampshire selected Jade in the state-wide election for Kid Governor, against six other finalists. As she begins her one-year term, The Dartmouth sat down with Adams to talk about her experience with the Kid Governor election process, the position so far and her hopes for the remainder of her term.

This winter, 25 students have been learning about a subject that often feels as unpredictable as the New Hampshire winter weather: love. In SOCY 62, “Love, Romance, Intimacy and Dating,” sociology professor Kathryn Lively is teaching students to navigate the intricate terrain of human connection from a different perspective.

A dim light and muffled chatter fill the dark side of the Class of 1953 Commons. I sit across from my friend as we talk about the lives of people we don’t know. Our heads are on a swivel, scanning the space out of habit. I look down at my meal. It’s what I’ve been getting every night for the past few weeks: rice and chicken coated in teriyaki sauce, alongside a salad with balsamic vinegar and too many red pepper flakes.

Between “midterm” papers that, for some reason, fall closer to the end of the term than the middle, and the general burnout-induced slump that plagues campus, week eight historically possesses an unforgiving character. There are occasions when we hit the lottery and have perfectly linear schedules in which our assignments and exams space themselves out, but more likely than not, it’s the opposite.

Fifty-eight years ago, the Vermont state government razed Lewiston, Vt. to the ground — burning nine buildings and destroying more than 200 years of history in just 15 minutes. The former village, located across the Connecticut River from the College, was once a transportation and commerce hub in the Upper Valley.

Having chosen to attend college in a place that’s home to just over 12,000 people, one might hold a natural appreciation for small towns like Hanover. But even those allured by the quaintness of New England may yearn for some more excitement now and then — and a weekend in Montréal, Québec just might do the trick.

As an international student from India, I’ve found that I am just as much Delhi’s as I am Dartmouth’s. While I am often not fully present in either place, I am never truly absent either. Whenever I return to Delhi, I hyper-fixate on everything that is different — how my city has changed, how I have. For me, it’s usually only small details — my childhood park getting renovated, the family jokes I need to be looped into, having to look up the route to my best friend’s house — yet it still feels all-consuming.

When I think about my past nights out on campus, my cherished memories are accompanied by a musical soundtrack. There’s a reason why I had LF System’s “Afraid to Feel” stuck in my head all last winter, and why this year I can’t stop singing the main chorus from the NOTION remix of Chrystal’s “The Days.” These rhythms served as the backdrop to nights spent in a sweaty fraternity, packed into a room dancing with friends or a now-gone situationship. Whether bringing on a wave of nostalgia, releasing negative emotions, building shared bonds among friends or becoming incessant earworms, the sounds of Dartmouth — particularly those playing in fraternity basements — never seem to quiet themselves.

When I think about it for too long, the idea of originality makes me a little nauseous. In a fit of nostalgia — and a desire to procrastinate studying for an exam — I reread my Common Application essay earlier this week, which centered around the feeling that everything I write was destined to be a worse version of something that’s already been created.

In February, wintry weather is unavoidable at Dartmouth — from the freezing temperatures to the snow-filled walkways, the cold is sure to follow wherever you go. While some students respond by hunkering down indoors, students in BIOL 61, “End of Winter: Winter Ecology,” are instead choosing to brave the cold.

For some students, Dartmouth is best viewed through the lens of a camera. Whether capturing a campus event, the seasons of New Hampshire or classroom life, student photographers get to document the College’s history in real time — and share their work with students, alumni and prospective applicants across the world.

How do I write an editor’s note with Valentine’s Day lurking around the corner? That’s the question I have been asking myself for the past week.

Favorite love song?

Valentine’s Day is a mixed bag of a holiday. For some, it’s a fun excuse to celebrate their romantic partners, but for others, it may elicit negative feelings. While the holiday traditionally focuses on romantic love, that’s not the only form one can celebrate. “Galentine’s Day” — a holiday focused on women’s friendship — has made February a month for celebrating more than just significant others.

In the leadup to Valentine’s Day, we asked Dartmouth students to submit their burning questions about love, breakups and everything in between. We chose our favorite questions — some serious, some perhaps less so — and answered them below. While many of our answers offer our genuine, best advice for dealing with matters of the heart, others are more flippant — cheeky, if you will. Above all, keep in mind that we are college sophomores, not relationship counselors. We’ll let our readers decide whether to heed our advice.
