I wrote this at 3 a.m.

By Kathleen Mayer | April 28, 2011

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

By Gardner Davis | April 28, 2011

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?

Working hard

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

By Leslie Ye | April 28, 2011

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.

Frosty's corner

By Sarah Frostenson | April 28, 2011

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.

Frosty's Corner

Don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about. I know you read Harry Potter, though chances are you weren't quite as dorky as I was.

Home Away from Hanover

By Leslie Ye | April 21, 2011

For a group of students who love this college so much, we sure spend a lot of time away from it. Dartmouth has been ranked number one in study abroad participation among the Ivies.

A Life in Transit

By Lauren Vespoli | April 21, 2011

Over the course of 15 months (from September 2010 to January 2012), I will have moved six times: from home to Mid Fayerweather, then to D.C.
