Could building a better Dartmouth help improve the world at large? Environmental consciousness is something that is easy to preach, but much tougher to act on.
Like just about every other returning Dartmouth student this year, my excitement to be back on campus was almost entirely fueled by the anticipation of setting foot in the building formerly known as the Thayer Dining Hall.
Okay so you should get by now that I hate the future. Not like the universal "future" where Segways replace walking, but no one's fat because all calories have been removed from food without any effect whatsoever on taste.
There are no plates in Homeplate. It no longer feels like home. Where does that leave the name? Imagine if they stopped serving food in Food Court.
The Drunkest Girls Write an Anonymous Note To the Mirror "sweetheart": The first night at AD when you left crying, Dartmouth made out with two girls and was grinding with multiple fat women.
Thayer's changes may be the talk of the now, but it's not the only construction that's going on. Two other hubbubs of development are the Visual Arts Center and the Class of 1978 Life Sciences Building.
People come from all over the world to experience New York Fashion Week. Here, designers premiere their new collections for the season while the fashion world eagerly awaits the genius that will inevitably grace the runway.
'11 International student: We've definitely talked about marriage because... I mean, I don't have a green card. '14: Anything that requires singing and dancing is really competitive here. '14 Girl: I can't decide whether to buy Ke$ha tickets or donate the money to that cancer charity. '13 Girl: My big mistake was eating spinach for dinner, because then at rush I had to get really creative with when to fart, how to fart and where to fart. '11 Girl looking at a picture of a Lion: This would be my husband if I was a lion. '11 Guy while filling out service-based trip application: I hope they ask you to attach your resume, that would be sick. Saturday during football game, Townie (on cell phone): Yes, $150 of maple.
What the heck is happening to Thayer Dining? So you read those little green posters titled "10 Things You Need to Know: The Class of 1953 Commons Construction Project Update." Still have questions?
People at Dartmouth love to brag about funding opportunities at our college. How many times a day do you hear tour guides mention how much money is available for Dartmouth kids to do cool things with.
When I arrived at Dartmouth a naive little freshman from the hippie enclave of Seattle I had no concept of the terrifying ordeal that is corporate recruiting.
Jobs are scary. Well, at least the idea of jobs is scary. Whenever I imagine "working," I picture myself in some cramped corner cubicle, hunched over one of those gigantic desktops from the 1990s, wearing the sartorial equivalent of that feeling you get right before booting while my boss and all of my co-workers stand behind me laughing. So maybe I have a super-detailed idea of working.
So, resume drop was last week and like clockwork, hordes of '11s scrambled to get themselves a solid foothold in the alleged "real world," which I hear is different than what MTV has led me to believe.
There are few words in the English language that elicit a more violent personal reaction from me than "networking." I find the word itself to be annoyingly cutesy one of those dumb corporate buzzwords like "synergize" or "matrix" which everyone loves to throw around but which ultimately lack real meaning and consider the process to be pointless, terrifying and depraved. Perhaps I'm biased by my deep fear of seeking out relative strangers for professional help.
Internships are the pledge terms of the real world. I can't stress the accuracy of this metaphor enough. You want to join a large organization.
'11 Guy: I would have sex with you if Morgan Freeman narrated it. '12 Guy in the middle on ENGS class: So professor this is a little off topic but is it true you were attacked by pirates?Prof: That is off topic but yes, I'll explain later. '11 SigEp: You're doing corporate recruiting?
