12X Playlist

By Tyler Bradford | July 12, 2012

I Wanna Go Summer HeartThis is of those songs that combines intriguing vocals and instrumentals to create an undeniable summer feel. Wishes Beach HouseThe Beach House sound is unmistakable because it has such a distinct youth to it perfect for 12X. Oviedo Blind PilotHopefully 12X is stress-free as is, but just in case you need a little more carefree, this one is the most soothing. Time to Pretend MGMTThis track has "YOLO" written all over it (as long as one is conscious of "YOLO's" inherent stupidity, it's still funny). We Own the Sky M83This song gets you feeling like you can conquer the world and like anything is possible.

Physical Education or Camp Dartmouth?

By Sharla Grass | July 12, 2012

Sophomore summer is arguably the best time to fulfill that dreaded P.E. requirement. With offerings like sailing, climbing, forestry, canoeing, golf, kayaking and cabin overnights, students can get that much closer to graduating while acting like a kid at summer camp. Many of the options, such as sailing, provide the perfect opportunity to venture away from Hanover.

The Mirror Guide to the Outdoors

By Amanda Smith and Seanie Civale | July 12, 2012

Summer is well under way, and we are collectively getting the hang of how Shakespeare doth speak while grudgingly setting our astro NROs (that midterm was a doozy). But the further we get into 12X, the harder it becomes to actually hit the books instead of the docks. The sun is hot, the sky is blue and the only thing we want to do is get outside and soak up some rays. Our hearts pine for the great outdoors! While we can't speed up the clocks in class, and we do not (officially) condone lack of attendance, we can provide you with ways to fill your free time with the best of the Upper Valley's outdoor activities. Straight from the mouths of experts of sophomore summers past and present with sprinklings of our own less qualified words of wisdom we bring you the 12X guide to outdoor fun.Get wet and wild: The Ledges Take a short drive through West Leb, continue South on 12A, turn left on True Brooks Road and you're there. You can jump off rocks into natural whirlpools and go for a dip in the swimming hole. "The ledges are a great place to go with a big group," Alejandra Herrera '14, who visited the spot early in the summer, said.

Summertime and the Friendship's Easy

By Diana Ming | June 28, 2012

Welcome to the best summer of our lives. That's right, sophomore summer is officially upon us. And even though this term is just getting started, we can already tell that it's noticeably different. Dartmouth has become a little quieter.

That's What Friends Are For

By Mackenzie Bohannon | June 28, 2012

Ask anyone on campus what their favorite part about Dartmouth is and at least nine times out of 10, the answer will not be the professors, the course offerings or the horrendous dining plans, but the friendships they've formed here. And why not?
