Not Your Mother's Finals Survival Guide

By Amanda Winch and Hayley Adnopoz | March 6, 2014

As part of a movement we’ve dubbed “Productive Procrastination,” we have forgone online shopping and 45-minute KAF breaks for a more lucrative time-wasting occupation: penning an unorthodox yet accurate list of tips to help you stay sane this frosty finals period. Consider this your comprehensive how-to guide for going out with a 14Win instead of 14Whimper.

Off-Turmoil

By Sara Kassir | March 6, 2014

When I selected my college major, I didn’t fully appreciate the dichotomy that often exists between choosing to make a lot of money and choosing to make a difference in the world. I decided on the latter without really understanding that the former would consequently be more difficult. My argument isn’t that finance bankers cannot effect, but you’re kidding yourself if you say that’s why people chose to work on Wall Street.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | March 6, 2014

In case you were wondering, Douglas Tompkins and Kenneth Klopp established The North Face brand in the 1960’s. For the first 10 years or so, the company only made tents, backpacks and mountain-climbing gear. It then branched out into high-performance outerwear designed to withstand the freezing temperatures on Mount Everest. All of this makes me wonder how exactly Dartmouth students kept themselves warm and stylish before North Face introduced the iconic Denali polar fleece jacket.

Dartmouth: The Next Generation

By Hayley Adnopoz | February 27, 2014

The survey was simple, comprised of only five questions: Gender? Class year? Are you affiliated or unaffiliated? Would you send your son to Dartmouth? Would you send your daughter?

Once Upon a Timer

By Mary Liza Hartong | February 27, 2014

Like most Dartmouth students and humans under the age of 75, the prospect of knowing exactly how much time I spend on Facebook and other time-wasting websites strikes fear into my heart.

Alphas with Ambition

By Victoria Nelsen | February 27, 2014

In the two times I have been to Alpha Delta fraternity since coming to Dartmouth, my senses were awakened to sights, sounds and smells I had never known (or necessarily wanted to know) existed. Yet, my senses must not have been fully alert. What I did not observe during my first moments at AD was the air of creativity and entrepreneurship that runs rampant throughout the house.

What Have We Done?

By Seanie Civale and Amanda Smith | February 27, 2014

There’s something about dealing with big things that makes us catastrophize the little ones. Looking into the mysterious labyrinth of our futures, we manage to stay calm by directing our sweat at the small stuff instead. Many self-help books would call this tactic counterintuitive and deeply flawed, but, as Fernando Pessoa once said: “In order to understand, I destroyed myself.”

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | February 27, 2014

In case you were wondering, the first Academy Awards ceremony was held on May 16, 1929. Some speculate that Rin Tin Tin, a German shepherd, received the most votes for best actor that year but could not win the award because the Academy decided it should be limited to humans.This is not a cool fact, minus the dog part, since anyone who can do basic math knows that if the 86th Academy Awards are being televised this weekend, the first ones would have occurred in 1929.

Dartmouth students, Dragon’s Gate Tattoo Studio owner Scott Ibey said, usually appear more nervous than his typical clientele.

I Ink...Therefore I Am

Half of me expected Dragon’s Gate Tattoo Studio to be filled with the sounds of heavy metal and the smell of cigarette smoke — the other half secretly hoped I’d be walking to some sci-fi, fantasy tattoo wonderland.

Putting Stress to the Test

By Mirror Staff | February 20, 2014

I’m nervous about publishing this piece. I’m nervous about whether you’ll like it, whether you’ll think my statements on stress and anxiety are too trite and overstated, if my tone will come off as too needy or unoriginal. As I was writing, I could feel a really cute, almost cartoon-like grimace forming on my face. I know, unbelievable.
