Through the Looking Glass: Lessons Learned from the Dartmouth Community
When I was looking at colleges, I asked current students a lot of questions. Their responses were plentiful, varied and usually helpful.
Knowing Nothing
During an especially introspective stretch of time, my 15-year-old self jotted down several quotes that fell within the boundaries of what I perceived to be profound.
Reevaluating the Victory Lap
I remember the first time Dartmouth felt like home. I remember the day — Jan. 3, 2015. I remember my outfit — a recently-bought wool sweater littered with pretzel crumbs.
On Taking Up Space
College is weird. Part extended summer camp, part boarding school for semi-grownups, part elitist neoliberal institution, part academia machine, college means different things to different people, but no one really knows what it’s going to be like until they’re there.
Embracing Identity
A writer for The Dartmouth once joked that staffers only know two things about me: that I’m from Hawaiʻi and that I have consistently arrived late to campus each term.
Through The Looking Glass: In Defense Of The Comfort Zone

Editor's Note: The Last Word
The last word. When everything is said and done, what is left? You spent four years here. Twelve terms.
Through The Looking Glass: Learning How to Remember
Last week, when I learned that Philip Roth had died, I searched my Notes app for the line from “American Pastoral” that I’d copied down last spring: “And since we don’t just forget things because they don’t matter but also forget things because they matter too much ... each of us remembers and forgets in a pattern whose labyrinthine windings are an identification mark no less distinctive than a fingerprint...” I was sitting on the grass outside of the River apartments on one of those first warm days of spring when being anywhere except in the sun felt like a sin, and I remember reading that line and thinking that it put into words something that I’d always known without knowing.
Through The Looking Glass: Ask Me Something
I ask a lot of questions. My friends frequently joke that I “grill” them with all that I’m wondering about.
