You're writing about WHAT?!

By Dylan Hume | May 2, 2008

By Dylan Hume I'd like to think that someone once said, "The glories of academia are reserved for those who study the atypical." Thesis season always brings out the best and brightest among us, encouraging them to step out of the dark shadows of the library to discuss with the rest of us what exactly it is that they've been working so hard on for the past year or so.

Defending the Thesis

Shirley Hu / The Dartmouth Staff For most seniors, senior spring means kicking back and finally relaxing: catching up on lunch dates that have been put off for too long, soaking up the last weeks of Green facetime, and re-racking to run it back just one more time.

Editor's Note

By Caitlin Kelly | May 2, 2008

It's May, which means the thesis is making hundreds of seniors miserable across campus and is beginning to have its way with juniors, too.

Overheard

By The Dartmouth | April 25, 2008

Female Prospie [on a cell phone outside Thayer]: I think they're at someone's house. She's named Katie E, I think? '08: You know they call those hoodies? '11: Why? '08: Because they wear them in the hood. '11: No, it's because they have hoods on them. '08: [pause] Oh. '08 Girl: I really need to study for my GEDs. [Girl skids into bicycle rack] Other Girl: Use your brakes, not your legs! '08 Panarchist: I love the new chandelier fixture, even though it cost me my baby. '10 Girl: Lunch tomorrow at Collis after 10As? '11 Boy: Sure.

The DM Manual of Style

By Dylan Leavitt | April 25, 2008

I have trouble focusing on class lately. Like many of you, I've found myself packing up my book bag with texts, notes, my computer and a beach towel to go and "do work" since it's gorgeous outside.

Sunshine Blotter

By Rembert Browne | April 25, 2008

I, Rembert Browne, am 98% sure I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder. I know this because this past week -- my horrendous midterms week -- I have never been happier in my life.

Breaking Through: Senior Spring Break-Up Blitz

By Sandra Himen | April 25, 2008

Oh the joys of senior spring. It's a time to celebrate your reckless youth one last time before the ruthless thrust into that proverbial belly of the beast: the "real world." While many seniors will spend the last few months carefree, skipping their ENGS 5 class every day, lounging out in the sun and stumbling along nostalgia lane in an alcohol-induced haze, there is also another, slightly more panicked group.

Point: Study Abroad

By Amy Davis | April 25, 2008

The study abroad experience makes your years at Dartmouth worthwhile. There, I've said it. It's just undeniable fact, a kernel of truth that can only be known by the select few -- or rather the majority of Dartmouth students -- who spend 10 weeks somewhere else for a change. Thing is, it isn't the time abroad that changes you.
