When the Friendship Sails

|

All the lonely people where do they all come from? Winter term at Dartmouth of course! While Princetonians and UPenners are linking arms and singing kumbaya at the sight of each other for the first time since winter break, many Dartmouth students have no one to embrace but the nearest snowman. A significant portion of the '15s and '14s have flown south for the winter, but what about the rest of us?

'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.

A Banker and Teacher Walk Into a Bar...

|

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.

Through the Looking Glass: Who We Ought to Be

|

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.

Editor's Note

/ The Dartmouth Staff There are a million things that we are encouraged to do with our dreams: chase them, follow them, achieve them.

Nap Nap City

|

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.

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.

The Bucket List

|

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.

And Then I Woke Up!

|

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.

Moderately Good Advice with Gardner and Kate

|

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.

Dartmouth Was My Dream School

|

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.

Editor's Note

/ 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.
