My 10X goal: To single-handedly turn the label "tech geek" into a coveted social status. Let's be real: I want to make your new universal remote more exciting than Free Burrito Day at Bolocco. I am a geek, and I'm proud.

Deciphering Dartmouth Debauchery: 10X is not the real world

|

You're not yet ready to face the real world? Well, you're in luck: it's sophomore Summer! While some students are slaving away at desk jobs, dying in their impersonal cubicles, you are preparing for a summer of shameless shenanigans. Contrary to popular belief, sophomore Summer was originally instated by the College in order to reward students for their hard work during the year by awarding a term of academic credit in the absence of real schoolwork.

Fashion is a tricky business. As Mark Twain once said, "The clothes make the man," and no one wants to be caught in something hideously outdated.

Reboot and Rally: Ultimate Update

I have been penning this technology column for a long time since my freshman Fall in fact. There have been times when I have hated it for monopolizing my time and also times when I have loved it for the benefits it could get me.

Last weekend was pretty much the quintessential Dartmouth weekend. A cocaine scandal erupted in the pages of The D on Friday, with felony charges raining upon our friends, acquaintances.

It's been fun, seniors. I appreciate the example you set for me, as I viewed many of you as my role models or at least as a wake-up call to get my act together.

An '11 addresses separation anxiety

|

I distinctly remember that bare-throated feeling of seeing my brother Jack's empty room the day after he left for college, that sense of losing my protector, my built-in companion, the one who always forged all the new paths a year before I did and then came home from kindergarten and taught me how to spell "dog" and "fish" before all the other four year olds. I have a soft spot in my heart for the '10s because they're graduating with him, because again the thought of the seniors moving on to the so-called "real world" makes me feel vulnerable, like I've just been placed in an open field and the last line of defense has fallen. I don't want to get too sentimental here, but if I have to reminisce about graduation, these are the thoughts that come to mind.

The first time I said I was "a '10" I was 15, hungover and at my dad's 25th reunion, at a session on "How to Get into Dartmouth," more precisely.

'10: That's why you write a thesis, so you can make shit up. '11 Guy: The results were wrong or something because of the, uh...placenta effect. '11Guy to '11 Girl: Let's go back to single sex education...(thinks)...actually I probably wouldn't have come here.
