'13 Guy: A firm doesn't want to hire me because they saw pictures of me blacked out on Facebook? Well I didn't want to work for them anyway. '16 Girl: It's so cold.

Rummaging through a bin of old art projects, I came across my illustrated kindergarten journal. The obligatory memoir of my elementary school years had enough drawings of my puppy to dedicate a wing of the Louvre in his honor.
There is a security that being students affords us, [whether we acknowledge it or not]. We have to transition from high school to college, we have to pick classes, we have to elect majors and choose various clubs to join, but there are relatively few times when we are forced to see ourselves as something other than students.
/ The Dartmouth Staff There are a million things that we are encouraged to do with our dreams: chase them, follow them, achieve them.
Waking up groggily from my typical mid-day nap in my newly fabulous king-sized bed (did anyone know that two twin XL beds mashed together magically creates a king-sized sleeping heaven?), I am forced to contemplate the age-old question we have all been asking since it was cool to watch "The Land Before Time" to nap or not to nap? Truth is, getting enough sleep at college is a rare delicacy, like Beluga caviar or that awesome African Drumming 2A.
/ The Dartmouth Staff Remember being younger and watching sitcoms on TV, imagining the moment when you were going to be grown up and live an exciting life like the characters?
Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Regardless of who's crazy now, they were the most adorable twins out there. Peanut butter and chocolate, better known to some as chocolate and peanut butter. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield.
Note to readers (May 23, 2014): When The Dartmouth found thatJake Bayer '16 had fabricated a quotation, wedecided to remove his articles from our website. For a full statement, clickhere.
I have never pulled an all-nighter for academic reasons. This experience was on my bucket list not because I thought it would be fun, but because I feel like it's something people do that I haven't.
What do flying squirrels, opossums and Dartmouth students have in common? If you answered beady eyes and claws, you are sadly mistaken.
Dreams. Sometimes they're weird and sometimes they're surprisingly normal, but whatever you dream, it most likely reveals something interesting about you. Perhaps it's due to the cold air or lingering effects of Keystone, but Dartmouth students have some particularly strange dreams.
If Dartmouth was a person dressing to show off its best feature, that feature would be its academic flexibility.
Dear Gardner and Kate, I'm looking for fun little changes to make in my life. What is something small that makes you happy on a daily basis? Melancholy Mark '15 Gardner: Every morning when I wake up, remember how cold it is outside and see the snow drift deep along the road, I wonder why I didn't go to school in some tropical locale like Nashville.
For about six years, I dreamed of being an author and illustrator of children's books. Then I turned eight, had an existential crisis and dreamt a new dream I wanted to be a doctor.
To be honest, my dream school growing up would not have been Dartmouth. I knew what I wanted: a large university, preferably somewhere warm and not too close to home.
/ The Dartmouth Staff A little known fact about me is that I was a fairly unsuccessful child actress, starring in "When I Grow Up I Want to be... A Veterinarian." Though this was the peak of my acting career, it wasn't the end of my life as a performer.
To say you were gifted as a child would be an understatement. You were more than gifted. You were inspired.
The Sun God: '16s, this reference may be before your time, but since he actually made a living as a performance artist, we figured he deserved a shoutout. Ma Thayer: Performs every day at lunch and dinner. My Dartmouth ID: Which performs a disappearing act every time i'm trapped outside my door in the freezing cold. The Dartmouth vpn: Stealing the show and getting you netflix on your off-term.
The Year of the Arts, the Black Family Visual Arts Center, Sarner Underground: they're all new developments on campus.
'14 Girl: I like people who I don't even know. I can't imagine how it would feel to like someone I did know. '15 Girl: I really need to blitz this kid to figure things out.
