Dartmouth's my favorite

So I have a huge problem with the theme of this week's issue. Basically, I've been begging for this to happen since I joined The Mirror staff freshman Fall and had given up all hope that the "Harry Potter Issue" would ever come to be.

The man who taught me how to fish killed himself on Easter morning. It's not typically my style to use tragedy as a prop for my writing, but my mind has been consumed by thoughts of him since I heard the news.

Great minds keep it to themselves

Dartmouth is a bit of an anomaly. How can you take 4,200 of the most competitive students in the country and expect them to peacefully coexist in a world supposedly devoid of competition?

Lets play two truths and a lie. (1) I never worry about class medians. (2) Nobody here cares about his/her future.

The cup half full

Like many Dartmouth students, I was first introduced to competitive drinking in high school. Our drinking game of choice was called Thumper, and it was basically a combination of Concentration and Indian Chief (we also played a sober version of it on Trips foreshadowing?). During the game, one player shouts, "What's the name of the game?" to which everyone replies "Thumper!" The same player then asks, "Why are we playing?" The correct response, of course, is "To get f*cked up!" Things haven't changed much since then.

As a secret hoarder, I've kept many files on my computer over the years a file of successes, a file of failures (I'll let you guess which is larger) and more impromptu .doc journals than you'd care to know.
