As a German major, I’ve learned about the student protests that swept Germany in the late 1960s more times than I can count. Most Americans are aware of the related protests that occurred in the U.S. around the same time, which were largely in response to the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement. Fewer, though, know about their European counterparts. In Germany, these protests were in part fueled by anger towards the Vietnam War, but their primary focus was the lack of critical reflection in German society on its past Nazism. At the time, it had not even been 30 years since Hitler lost power.

Outside of Guangzhou, China, atop Baiyun Mountain, I became deeply ill.

It’s reached the point in the term where I look back on the past nine weeks and wonder how the days passed by so quickly. This term, I’m feeling the fickleness of time even more so than normal — on Friday, my younger brother and only sibling will graduate from high school. It feels like just yesterday he was 14 years old and starting his freshman year.

Whether he’s spotted in Baker-Berry Library or waddling around the Green, Keggy the Keg always stands out in a crowd.

There’s a reason why we call Dartmouth a “bubble.” With many students lacking a car of their own on campus, it can be difficult to find a short reprieve from Hanover. Grabbing meals with friends can be an excellent way to de-stress — but while Foco is open seven days a week, and there are a handful of restaurants to choose from in Hanover, eating at the same spots year after year can get repetitive.

Hello, Mirror readers, and welcome to Green Key week!

I’ve always avoided saying goodbye and instead resorted to the “Irish exit.” Whether it’s slipping out of parties when it feels too awkward to alert people of my discomfort, or darting out of class to avoid an awkward conversation with a professor, I have always preferred not saying goodbye. After all, I’ll see them again, right? But with my four years at Dartmouth ending in four weeks, my point of view on saying goodbye has changed.

Five years ago, I began my Common Application essay with the following sentence: “To quote Ferris Bueller, ‘Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.’ I don’t intend to miss my life.” Half a decade later, those words still ring true.

With the leaves changing colors and campus buzzing with excitement for the arrival of a new freshman class, there is no term quite like the fall. For many students, particularly underclassmen, fall is a time to explore interests, which can lead to major developments in their academic and career paths. In fact, it was the classes I took during my freshman and sophomore fall terms that influenced me to declare both my cognitive science major and minor in Asian societies, cultures and languages. With fall 2024 course election coming up, I have grown curious about which fall classes have been students’ favorites.

On Jan. 6, 2021, a mob of Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol, attempting to prevent Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election. The attack prompted a year-and-a-half-long congressional investigation into former President Donald Trump’s role in the riot. Visiting professor Kristin Amerling, who served as the chief counsel and deputy staff director of the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the United States Capitol, has since shifted her focus from Washington to Hanover, where she’s currently teaching GOVT 86.54: Congressional Investigations, Law and Democratic Governance, a seminar on congressional investigations.

No matter how much preparation or thought I put into it, every three weeks I find myself in Sanborn between the hours of 12 and 4 p.m., staring at a blank Word document, trying to start my editor’s note. Most of the time, it’s not even staring at a blank screen — it’s writing several opening paragraphs and deleting them, the modern (but much less satisfying) equivalent of scribbling on a piece of paper, crumpling it up and throwing it into an overflowing trash can. It’s calling my mom to see if she has any insights, or re-reading parts of old Lena Dunham essays to see if I can excise their millennial undertones and make them my own. Always, it’s trying to find a seed of meaning in a quirky anecdote that either happened last week or a decade ago. Yes, believe it or not, Mirror — and its editors — are, for the most part, exceedingly self-aware.

One of Dartmouth’s many perks is the opportunity to learn from professors or guest lecturers who are highly decorated in their fields. Over the years, Dartmouth has hosted award-winning artists, writers and even former heads of state, allowing students the chance to take classes with an array of well-known instructors.

Walk down the stairs and into Han Fusion — Hanover’s Chinese, Japanese and Thai fusion restaurant — on a Friday or Saturday night, and you might mistake the eatery for one of the College’s dining halls based on the horde of Dartmouth student patrons. The restaurant, fondly referred to as just “Han,” serves as a go-to establishment for students to gather, get drinks and share a meal.

Just the phrase “catching up” is overwhelming. It implies that you’re behind.

For plenty of students, myself included, movies and TV shows are a great escape from the endless quest for maximum productivity. The 30 to 60 minutes before I go to sleep each night are spent watching some sitcom or another, breaking up my busy days in the name of relaxation and self-care.

While Dartmouth students have likely written more essays than they can count, many might have trouble remembering the last time they wrote for pleasure — to craft a story just for themselves. I personally love to write poetry but can never justify pausing in the middle of a problem set to pull out my journal. Making time for creative writing can be difficult at Dartmouth. As a result, some students find that joining writing-based clubs in college gives them a dedicated space for their passion.
