Valentine's Day is next week, but so is Winter Carnival, which means it's far more likely that, when Feb.

Counterpoint: Blitzmail - Cool Communication or so 90's?

|

Blitz is Dartmouth. I love Dartmouth, therefore, I love Blitz. My love for Blitz grew slowly, beginning with an initial fascination during my freshman fall, and peaking while I was abroad last term, cursing the frustrations of Microsoft Outlook and pining for the subtle delicacies that make Blitz so marvelous. There are several key components of the BlitzMail system that make it so usable, unique and defining.

Confessions of a Gmail Convert

|

"My name is Matthew and I'm a Gmail convert." "Hi Matthew." "It's been three months since I last used Blitz." (Gentle applause.) So in other, more pressing news, today I was thinking how relieved I am that no one asks anyone to "get lunch" anymore.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

|

As a senior, I have seen Hanover's restaurant scene change drastically. I was here before Quiznos, I loved The Wrap, and I'm pretty sure I matriculated 12 Murphy's menus ago.

Counterpoint: Eating alone - Time to chill, or total loser?

|

I have a confession. I am petrified of eating alone. Sit me down in a table at Collis with an open textbook, laptop and crossword and I'll be cozy, but dining solo sans props is an entirely different beast. It has occurred to me that I'm not alone in this boat -- I did a casual survey of Food Court on Saturday at lunch and found one brave luncher dining alone, tucked away in the back corner reading with her laptop open, and her head resting on her hand in an effort to block her face from the rest of the lunch crowd.

Greetings From... Mexico

|

Let me start this off by saying that I'm a huge fan of the Hop quesos. A crispy tortilla filled with tomatoes, salsa and oozing cheese: it's by far one of my favorite foods at Dartmouth. Unfortunately, I'm not such a fan of some of the other "Mexican-style" food in Hanover.

Amy Knows Everyone

The only time I ever lived off campus was during sophomore summer. Even then, I was in the Murphy's apartments, in which, if you hang your head out the window, or trot down to the street in pajamas -- as I did, often, with no shame -- you can still pick up the College's wireless. My apartment was intensely hot; class, if I chose to go, was a mere three-minute schlep, and all the people on my hall were other '09s -- and some were even my friends.

Convict Confessions: Anonymous stories of students' encounters with H-Po and S&S

|

Male '12: So basically my first encounter with H-Po was back in October. I had just come back from Heorot, and I was just being an idiot and was holding a Keystone can. "Oh, I'm not gonna get caught by H-Po, I can just, like, move the can to the other side of my body, and they'll never be able to see it," I thought to myself at the time. The girl I was with wanted me to walk her back to her dorm, so we were on this corner of indecision: She wanted to go home, and I wanted to go to EBAs.
