Blitz is Dartmouth. I love Dartmouth, therefore, I love Blitz. My love for Blitz grew slowly, beginning with an initial fascination during my freshman fall, and peaking while I was abroad last term, cursing the frustrations of Microsoft Outlook and pining for the subtle delicacies that make Blitz so marvelous.
