Drop the Bass

By Maggie Shields | April 30, 2015

The dance floor is crowded — it’s a Friday night after all. I wind my way around raised arms, shaking booties and that one person trying to twerk on the wall in the corner.

The Upper Valley's "Other" AT

By Hannah Hye Min Chung | April 30, 2015

Just as I was assigned to write a piece on riding Advance Transit for three hours, I ran out of ramen noodles and had to send some important documents back to Seoul for my internship in the summer. How handy — I could work on my story and run the errands at the same time! I decided to go to the FedEx shipping center in Lebanon and then drop by Walmart in West Lebanon.

Boots and Rallies

By Aaron Pellowski | April 30, 2015

At some point this weekend, I overheard Mikayla Delores-Burt — one of my associates — stumble over the last word of Sir Mix-a-Lot’s most famous line with hilarious results: “I like big butts, and I cannot die.”

What a week. Writing this column in the midst of crises in Baltimore and Nepal, this all feels silly. And yet here we are.

“Graduating in Your Class Is Overrated.”

By Kalie Marsicano | April 23, 2015

It could take 10 weeks, six months, maybe two years. That’s the thing with mental health — you can never predict with certainty when, how or even if healing will take place.

Nicholas Thyr ’17 denied that he was a nerd for years. After discovering Dungeons and Dragons novels, though, he became a proponent of the game.

Through the Looking Glass: A Place Where I Can Rage Late Into the Weekend

By Nicholas Thyr | April 23, 2015

\n Like many of us here, I rage every Saturday. Once 6 p.m. rolls around, I grab dinner with a couple of my friends and then head off for a series of escapades, often stretching into the wee hours of the night.

The Graveyard Shift

By Mary Liza Hartong and Andrew Kingsley | April 23, 2015

’Twas the very witching hour of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes contagion into the world. No, we are not Prince Hamlet, but his words (and some gentle nudging from our editors) drove us into the Dartmouth College Cemetery like Young Goodman Browns to witness the debauchery of students in this labyrinth of death.

Most of us enjoy at least some privacy at the College. We are not tied to a name, a past or a YouTube video. Others don’t have that freedom. It is difficult to have privacy when people associate ideas with your name.
