The drunkest girls at the party

So Charlie Sheen didn't teach you enough about winning? Pregnant, alone and standing on the roof of the church on West Wheelock with a Twisted Tea, Zoloft and a little bit of water?

Great minds keep it to themselves

Dartmouth is a bit of an anomaly. How can you take 4,200 of the most competitive students in the country and expect them to peacefully coexist in a world supposedly devoid of competition?

The cup half full

Like many Dartmouth students, I was first introduced to competitive drinking in high school. Our drinking game of choice was called Thumper, and it was basically a combination of Concentration and Indian Chief (we also played a sober version of it on Trips foreshadowing?).

The correct response, of course, is "To get f*cked up!" Things haven't changed much since then.

Dartmouth's my favorite

If you haven't seen Discovery Channel's "Human Planet," then you need to park your ass in front of an HD TV and start watching.
