There have been times in our society's history when progress starts unraveling. Bush's reelection in 2004, the production of sexually objectified Bratz dolls and any reality television series currently airing or even being imagined stand out as prominent examples of moments when America saw growth and the potential for change in the horizon and then turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, plateaus in the evolution of music often occur as well.
Conventional wisdom holds that Hanover is really, really small and in the middle of nowhere. Granted, when your Classics 4 notes are heaped next to those forms you've been meaning to turn in for that club you're running and you're stuck in the stacks anyway, then the Appalachian Trail is no better nor worse a place than anywhere else to be.
Flashback: it's the end of Spring term, and I'm sitting outside of Collis "studying," "getting facetime," or "people-watching,"whatever you want to call it.
'11 Tri Delt to '11 KDE: You need to knock some Keystone into her! '11 SAE (on a cell phone leaving jungle party): Dude, I just need it back.
We all joke about living in the "the Dartmouth bubble" in which all sorts of social norms about things like dating and drinking become deeply skewed.
Steve Elliot Proponents of Dartspeak may argue that our strange dialect sets us apart from other campuses.
'11 KDE: Hurry up let's start, I'm getting sober. '11 Kappa: I don't feel like drinking tonight.
"He has the face of a bandit," my Argentine host mother decided after meeting a date who had come to pick me up.
If art imitates life and life imitates art, then that leaves little room for any distinction between the two.
Today I had to call my mother and admit I broke my phone this weekend. Since I had called her exactly one week ago to tell her I dropped my phone's battery down a sewer, she was not exactly pleased.
Ok, so we all know that there's nothing new to discover on Main Street. But with Foco as the only dinner option, what to do when the entrees costing you $7.95? Let's be real, with an off-campus meal plan, DBA is basically just real money.
Shirley Hu / The Dartmouth Staff The plus sides of Sophomore Summer are obvious but the food thing just doesn't seem right.
Did you miss out on Dartmouth's coveted Organic Farm CSA shares? Are you jealous of the size of my kale?
You've seen her running up that hill on West Wheelock St.: shorts swishing and iPod blaring. She's at the gym on the elliptical reading Us Weekly, checking the clock and looking in the mirror.
Spring term at Dartmouth is possibly one of the best times of year. However, each June becomes more bittersweet than the last as another class says goodbye to dear ol' Dartmouth, and it gets even closer to being our turn. This year, we are forced to say so long to the Class of 2009.
After four years, I've picked up some pretty critical Dartmouth survival skills. Sean knows my breakfast wrap order, I've memorized the pattern at the traffic light and I know to count the remaining cups to figure out whose turn it is to drink. My pants are hemmed about two inches shorter than they should be, and my favorite pair of frat shoes is made of plastic, so any griming up leaves them only a quick rinse away from being wearable again. I've accepted that the paths on the Green are both asymmetrical and nonsensical, and happily cut across the grass. With this skill set happily in place, I've begun to realize that these don't exactly hold up as exemplary transferable abilities.
Since the day we arrived at Dartmouth, we have been repeatedly told how much this school has to offer in terms of academics, extracurriculars and campus life.
