Delulu, Rizz, Skibidi: When jokes become language

(08/22/25 8:05am)

For international students like me, the Cambridge Dictionary isn’t just helpful for essay writing. It’s also a survival tool during dining-hall conversations and the occasional lost-in-translation group chat. Sure, it can help polish grammar and untangle obscure terms in class readings. But dig a little deeper and you’ll find something else entirely: words straight from the internet, slang that feels miles away from anything academic and is surprisingly similar to what your younger siblings are probably texting right now.

Editor’s Note

(08/22/25 7:00am)

The end of every term at Dartmouth feels like a reckoning. Finals bring chaos: panicked cramming, desperate office hours, the startling Vox Daily notification reminding you that you’ve overstayed your welcome on 3FB and should really go to bed. The quick pace of these weeks always sparks big questions for me: What am I doing? Will I pass my classes? What do I even want from my life? The finale of sophomore summer, of this momentous chapter of Dartmouth life, only intensifies those feelings. With half my college experience behind me, the pressure to feel certain about who I am, what I want, where I’m going presses heavier on my chest, my lungs, my arms. I’m pinned to the ground. I’ve never been especially religious, but studying for my organic chemistry final has me sending up prayers.

Reflection: A Tour of Annabelle’s Room

(08/22/25 7:10am)

A memory: My roommate and I collapse into our seats across from each other at the dining table of our apartment in Prague — home for the next 10 weeks. Between us are bowls of couscous, roast chicken thighs, grilled eggplant and roasted carrots. As we begin to eat, our conversation drifts from excitement about being abroad, to weird cake ideas, to concerns about pigeons in the apartment. Warm sunset light bathes our meal. Like my study-abroad friends often said, this must be the point.
