How to Have a Long-lasting Relationship

|

Since my engagement last spring, a num-er of my friends have asked about my approach to relationships -- an approach which, I suppose, has been more fruitful than those of most 21-year olds. Because questions about relationships seem to occupy the minds of many Dartmouth students, I have decided to chip in my two cents by presenting my list of preconditions for a successful relationship.

Sea Monkey World

Saving the planet is definitely becoming a popular cause to support. I was shaving the other day, and I noticed the can of shaving cream said: "Contains No CFCs, Which Deplete the Ozone Layer." Well, that's good to know.

A Random Snowy Day

|

I had a really random day last Friday. Some days, I feel like I need to take on the system, and other days just getting my laundry done is the only kind of moral victory I need.

'Doorstop' Theory

|

I went through an egocentric phase a few years ago. Friends might argue that my use of the past tense is a bit optimistic; however, with "foofie" hair like mine, I assure you that egocentrism is nearly impossible these days. In any case, when I was six, I argued quite a bit with my parents, and I usually got my way.

Volunteering for Planned Parenthood

|

On November 13, a bulletin was posted by the Women's Resource Center: a "Call for Volunteers" for Planned Parenthood of Northern New England. I object to the posting of this bulletin, not on the grounds that the Women's Resource Center has acted wrongly per se, but rather because of the faulty and dangerous message which the bulletin (perhaps unwittingly) promulgates. To be sure, the WRC has every right to post a bulletin of this nature.

Sophomore Slump

Okay, all you 2000s, is this term killer, or is just me? Originally, I thought I was one of few who thought this term was not the greatest, but I have since revised my opinion.
