The Drunkest Girls at the Party

By Matt Scott and Emily Duke | May 13, 2010

We know, you're shocked. The drunkest girls were asked to talk about a weekend that has nothing to do with anything besides blacking your face out to pregame nothing. Well, the two of us quickly realized that our memories involving this most holy weekend are scarce and that the most important detail is that this holiday means nothing.

We Used to Hang Out …

By Kevin Niparko | May 13, 2010

It's inevitable. This weekend, every single one of us will get sucked into a conversation with at least one crusty, close-talking alum with whiskey on his breath rambling on about the good ol' days.

Loving the Little Things

By BRIDGETTE TAYLOR | May 6, 2010

After a weekend of sunshine and spring weather, I woke up on April 28 to snowfall. Not the beautiful, light snow of January and February, but sloppy, wet globs of half-melted snowflakes.

Calculating Happiness

By Noah Dentzel | May 6, 2010

Are Dartmouth students happy? That depends, of course, on how we define happiness. Measured in units of consumption and standard of living, we seem a safe bet.

Mirror Mixtape

By Divya Gunasekaran | May 6, 2010

In a rare attempt at optimism, I just want to say that whenever confronted with dark times and troubled waters, we can always find solace in the thought that good times are around the corner even though that's often not true.

The Science of Happiness

By Jamila Ma | May 6, 2010

Happiness is probably the closest thing we have to a universal human goal. Much of what we can say about happiness is highly subjective, but is there anything about happiness that is empirically true?

The Gospel According to Matthew

By Matthew Ritger | May 6, 2010

When I am alone on a long run in the rain in May, heading out through Norwich, up past Maple Hill and down past Bradley Hill; when the pavement ends, and I pass those sad cows at Goodrich Four Corners (not people, cows); when, after miles of trying to visualize my legs (not legs, life) like a train on the tracks, I catch sight of Baker Tower between a crease in the hills, away across the river: This is happiness, for me. When I am running far and long and hard, I am happy.

Editor's Note

By Eve Ahearn | May 6, 2010

T `hinking about happiness makes me sad but it's a little hard to avoid. As Dartmouth students, what we choose to do with our time reflects a lot about our opinions about happiness.

Popping the Bubble

By Kate Farley | May 6, 2010

So I was just on Wikipedia clicking through random articles and accidentally spending two hours reading about bizarre UFO conspiracy theories doing research for this column, because when I first sat down to write this I discovered that apparently I'm a mildly disgruntled person who didn't have anything to say about happiness.

The first experience many of us had at this place was Trips, an experience carefully tailored to provide the most upbeat and positive portrayal of Dartmouth possible.

Enjoying the Off-term

By Karen Iorio | May 6, 2010

I never felt more in touch with my half-Italian heritage than when I heard the old country saying "dolce far niente" or "it's sweet to do nothing." Doing nothing is a little taboo at Dartmouth but I'm taking the first step and admitting that there's nothing I'd rather do. I could live without homework.

The Mirror Asks

By The Dartmouth Mirror Staff | April 29, 2010

If you could institute one rule of etiquette at Dartmouth, what would it be? "Say goodbye to the rando you've been studying next to in the library for the past five hours when you leave." - Jean Luo '10 "The Male Specimen Washing Hands After Urination." - Sarah Frostenson '11 "Always flush, and bathroom freshener should be sprayed to your heart's desire." - Priya Shanmugam '13 "No snoring on 3FB!" - Jamila Ma '12 "Stop referring to New York City simply as The City'. We're not all from the Eastern Seabord, after all." - Noah Dentzel '10 "Take a hint from the Southerners and say hello to everyone, it makes the world less awkward." - Jen Argote '10 "Show freshman boys some love.
