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.

'16 Girl:I think he thinks I'm a B+ student because I use my phone in class. Fair. Geography Prof:A lot of my moral education came from "Star Trek." '16 Guy outside a North Fay bathroom:Bro, are you pooping? '17 Guy:Turning in computer science assignments is better than sex for me. '17 Guy:Is Sigma Delt a fraternity or a sorority? Editor-in-Chief of The D:I always look at people's formal pictures and wonder if they're going to get married. Blitz overheards to mirror@thedartmouth.com.

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

By Kalie Marsicano | February 20, 2014

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.

Off-Turmoil

By Sara Kassir | February 20, 2014

This is the article that I’ve wanted to write for almost a year. I’ve put it off for so long because I don’t like being controversial for the sake of stirring the pot.

In Case You Were Wondering

By Katie Sinclair | February 20, 2014

In case you were wondering, the Dubia cockroach, or Blaptica dubia, has the ability to move, twitch and stay very much alive even after you put a pin through its head, cut off its legs with scissors and rip out its digestive tract. This is a fact that a large chunk of biology majors at Dartmouth are well aware of, though I seem to be the only one bothered by it.

Editors' Note

By Erin Landau and Marina Shkuratov | February 20, 2014

Permanence is a funny thing, and something we have been increasingly thinking about recently. Though we have both made a few relatively permanent decisions, ranging from getting a tattoo to choosing where to get our degrees, our lives up until this point have remained pretty fluid. As children, others always made the most important decisions for us.

For the students studying this ROTC management process and the technical skills that underlie it, Dartmouth offers a unique opportunity.
