Reboot and Rally
Every now and then, something catches my eye and makes me say "wow." Sometimes it's a car that looks like it was pimped out by MTV's Xzibit or an incredible NFL touchdown pass that defies the laws of gravity.

Do you think the only interesting things to see in Hanover right now are the '14s? Peel your peepers away from those fine freshmen and expand your horizon.
Well, hello there. You are reading my column. That is very nice of you. I like your taste in skimmable-items-in-The-Mirror-I-can-read-while-waiting-on-the-Novack-line.
When Danielle Short '13 first arrived at Streeter 209 this term, it was covered in cobwebs. "I lived in McLaughlin freshman year," she laughs, tugging on her flannel shirt as she leads me into the small inner room, jazz streaming into her single window from Gold Coast's lawn party outside.
The nacho the food with which I have the biggest love-hate relationship. If we had a relationship status on Facebook, nachos and I would definitely be "it's complicated." It's the only thing I want from the concession stands at concerts, but it's also the one thing that makes me feel most like I'm going to boot after I eat it.
It's easy to get lost in the monotony of your day-to-day routine and activities. Mix it up this term!
"Remind me to do the Polar Bear Swim this winter. I'm gonna be so pissed at myself if I don't do the Polar Bear Swim before I graduate.
'14 at the lodj: Freestyle is my least favorite part of "Blame it on the Boogie." '14 guy 1 to '14 guy 2: I hear you can major in leaves here. '13 guy: Don't you love it when people talk so fluently in foreign languages?'13 girl: That was English. '14 1 walking into Collis: What do they even have here?'14 2: Pasta!

Correction Appended I often hear many comparisons between Dartmouth and camp. I feel that.
Moral: Never trust a graduating senior's advice. Chances are it's biased, blatantly untrue, or just really bad advice to begin with. Senior Fall.
Saturday, Sept. 25: Pancake Breakfast in Norwich We all know Lou's is more than capable of satisfying your pancake craving (if you haven't tried the very berry pancakes, stop reading and go get some right now), but if you're looking for a change of scenery, check out this pancake breakfast in Norwich on Sept.
This September, the new worst class ever will arrive in Hanover, sad to be leaving their high school friends, confused about Dartmouth terms like "facetime" and "blitz" (RIP) and inevitably looking for guidance on this oh-so-large and bustling campus.
I try to be a glass-is-half-full kind of person.
We are at a crossroads (visual aid: X). So far, I've managed to convince myself that because it's called "sophomore Summer" I'm still an underclassman, but as the term winds down I'll be forced to accept the bitter truth that as '12s, we've officially transitioned to the other side of the X. Whether or not you see the X factor in terms of relationships, after two years of learning and beginnings I'm sure we all have our fair share of regrets, or at least things we would have done differently.
This weekend's Fieldstock is a rite of passage for us '12s. It represents the last hoorah, that last OMG IT'S 10X moment before the reality of finals (insert generic astro joke) and 10F kick in.
This past weekend, my three best friends from high school decided to road trip up to Hanover to pay me a visit.
We're halfway there, or so The Mirror and Bon Jovi tell us. But halfway where? Halfway finished with "the best four years of our lives" is a pretty depressing thought but these four years have been damn good ones. In order to take advantage of our time left at Dartmouth, here is my list of resolutions for the next few years. Meet new people.
'12 Guy to '12 Girl: You want to know my one pick up line that always works? "Urg, I'm so sexually frustrated!" '12 guy 1: You should go to Collis and get some fresh blueberries.
