The Elephant in the Bathroom

By Matt Lifson | October 14, 2010

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.

Dartmouth's my Favorite

By Emily Hirshey | October 14, 2010

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.

Overheard

By The Dartmouth Staff | October 14, 2010

'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.

Identifying Your Office Type

By Mackenzie Bohannon | October 7, 2010

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.

The Mayers-Rigged Type Indicator

By Kathleen Mayer | October 7, 2010

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.

Networking: What Career Services Doesn't Want You to Know

By Zoe Williams | October 7, 2010

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.

Thinking Outside of the Job Box

By Lauren Vespoli | October 7, 2010

I came to Dartmouth to get a world-class education and eventually, a great job. And as much as I am loving every minute as an undergraduate, I'm SO excited for the options that abound after graduation I can go through corporate recruiting and work in consulting/finance, OR take the LSATs and go to law school!
