If nothing else, Dartmouth is a crash course in transitioning. Our Dartmouth lives occur in blips of class, parties and terms. Coming back from such a long Hanover hiatus was in some ways easy Dartmouth had long ago taught me to not get too comfortable in any one environment. I clicked right back into my old routine with my best friends, but something felt slightly off. I had changed, or Dartmouth had changed. In all likelihood, we both had.
DERBY
But maybe, in the same way we perfect procrastination and work best under last minute pressure, we will find ourselves most equipped to go out into the world when it's simply something we have to do. For some, myself included, it may seem impossible to ever be ready for real life, but when the time comes we will go. And we will have the benefit of these moments, breakfasts on Collis porch with people we love, times that a friend went above and beyond to help us and days we were sad and someone told us it would be okay.

The articles in this issue do not explicitly address the Dimensions protest and its aftermath, the administration's reaction or the programming that replaced classes on Wednesday. Instead, they feature a cafe we all hold dear to our hearts, one amazing race and the qualities we look for in the person delivering words of wisdom on our final day as undergraduates. But these topics are not irrelevant. Indeed, it is during times like these, when our social fabric feels torn, that it is most important for us to come together through our communities. Only then can we begin to build and rebuild a stronger, more respectful space in which all members feel safe and recognized. Happy Friday.

For some of us, it's hard to imagine a time when we weren't Dartmouth students. No matter how deep your loyalty to this college runs, we would do well to remember that it's just one part of our identity. This week, we explore the challenges of feeling depressed at Dartmouth, opportunities to explore the Upper Valley concert scene and balancing employment with being a full-time student.

We'd do well to remind ourselves that it doesn't have to be a perfect, sun-filled day for us to make the most of the season. Nearby hiking opportunities call our name, Jurassic Park is playing at the Nugget, in 3D no less, and gelato tastes good on any day.
SCARVES
This week's issue, explores students who defy the Registrar and opt for new majors late in the game, as well as the wild ups and downs of March Madness. A Dartmouth junior reflects on being an American in the Middle East, and we consider the changing nature of being a woman at Dartmouth over the last 40 years. None of these experiences are without flaws and roadblocks: when one team wins, another loses and being a female still has its challenges in the 21st century. It is these very imperfections, however, that make our lived experiences beautiful and shape our identities as Dartmouth students and citizens of the world. The "all" we want is constantly changing depending on who we are and where we are in our lives. For women, for men, for students, parents, winners and losers: define your own "all" and take setbacks as they come. Happy Friday!

In our content redesign debut, we look at cultural institutions as cemented as spring break and inquire the ways we share content with each other on social media platforms. We expose two remarkable individuals with life stories that amaze and inspire. We take a look at the current Hanover housing crisis (hi '14s in the Lodge). We hope these trigger dialogue about the way we interact at Dartmouth, discuss issues of importance and bond together as a community. After all, a society is nothing more than the individuals who compose it and its cultural imaginings.
This year, however, Trips are running a little differently. Changes to the Fall term schedule forced Trips to be pushed significantly earlier than usual, creating an overlap with the Summer academic term, namely final examination period.
Here at Dartmouth, we talk a lot about the "community feel," and we would sometimes rather forget our community is composed of some pretty competitive individuals. Indeed, it is this competitiveness that got most of us to Dartmouth in the first place. The articles in this week's issue explore the Olympians among us, poke fun at our competitive nature and offer a guide to completing Dartmouth with Olympic-level grace. The Games may only last two weeks, but the Olympic spirit lives on forever! Happy 12X guys, it's been great.
Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson hosted a forum on Wednesday to address student concerns about the proposed alcohol and hazing policy reforms slated to take effect in the fall, especially regarding proposed random walkthroughs. She responded to criticism raised in the Greek Leadership Council's July 17 forum and announced that 12 or 13 additional policies are also being considered for the 2012-2013 academic year.

In 2006, David Pierce, who is openly gay, was elected to represent District 9 in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, a victory for a demographic realm that is still largely underrepresented in state and national politics. This fall, Pierce will run to represent District 5 in the New Hampshire State Senate.
In the third installment of this summer's "Leading Voices in Foreign Policy" lecture series, Fallon discussed the past and future of United States foreign policy in the Middle East on Thursday afternoon in Moore Theater. In his more than four decades of experience in the United States Armed Forces, Fallon has spent time in numerous countries, including Vietnam, Iraq and Bosnia. His most vivid experiences in life have always revolved around people, he said.
