Joe Kind, A Guy

By Joe Kind | October 15, 2015

I looked forward to last weekend, as does most of the Dartmouth community, and for good reason — there is nothing else quite like the Homecoming weekend experience.

Under stress, students turn to Adderall for academic, social help

By Savannah Maher | October 9, 2015

But after pulling two consecutive all-nighters cramming for a chemistry exam, intellect alone could not get Connie through an eight-page research paper. Bleary-eyed and sleep-deprived, Connie was thinking about calling it a night and turning in her first college essay a day late when a friend offered her some help in the form of a little orange pill.

How often in the past month have you felt hopeless, despondent, uninterested in activities you typically enjoy or lethargic?

Behind the façade: Helping, hurting and healing

By Caroline Berens and Kelsey Flower | October 8, 2015

A cursory glance around any area on campus — Baker Lobby, Collis’s pasta line, the Green -— will reveal an idyllic, picturesque scene. Smiling, chatty students eagerly discuss weekend plans and love life drama or offhandedly joke about how unprepared they are for an upcoming midterm, but deeper anxieties or troubles are rarely revealed. You may never know that the put-together, confident girl describing her busy social calendar over King Arthur Flour had trouble getting out of bed this morning.

Barthelmes a key resource for creative mental health care

By Priya Ramaiah | October 8, 2015

Caitlin Barthelmes’ office space — tucked away on the third floor of Robinson Hall in the Student Wellness Center — can appear a little mysterious to the casual observer. Equipped with a massage chair, free health-related goodies and bowls of candy, Barthelmes and the staff at the Student Wellness Center are working to empower students through holistic and preventative wellness processes.

Editor's Note

By Lauren Budd and Parker Richards | October 8, 2015

It’s come into vogue in the past year or so for national publications to cover issues related to mental health on college campuses. We’ve all seen stories about “excellent sheep,” “duck syndrome” and student suicide after student suicide. We set out to learn how these issues — and many others — present themselves here at Dartmouth, in our own home.

TTLG: An Anchor of Conscience

By Torrese Ouellette | October 8, 2015

Dartmouth and I had a toxic relationship. From matriculation in 2008 to academic separation in 2015, it lasted for more than six years. I now realize that if I had drowned myself in the fall of 2014 as I had attempted, I would have been ultimately responsible for the decision — but Dartmouth, nonetheless, would have been the catalyst.

I struggled to write this week’s column because I refuse to validate the job hunt experience as the debilitating, life-sucking endeavor that so many college students claim it to be.

A Song For Every Space

By Lindsay Keare | October 1, 2015

One Wheelock has a mainstream coffee shop vibe (but not like too mainstream, you know?). You might as well be sipping a soy non-fat vanilla cappuccino pumpkin spice latté in a non-Starbucks coffee shop in Seattle watching the rain.

Sam's Little Larks

By Sam Van Wetter | October 1, 2015

And what does that even mean? Being a “brother?” Is everyone pretending that you’re actually siblings? Like, did you all pop out of the same womb? And is the house the womb? Does that make your fraternity your mother? Who’s the father? Are you each other’s father?

Teach Me How to Rap

By Sam Forstner | October 1, 2015

Just like any performance art, freestyle — and more generally, rapping — requires a combination of innate talent and learned skill.
