Since it's the senior issue and everyone is writing a reflection on their college career, here's my own self-serving trip down memory lane: I wasn't real sad about the '08s graduating as a freshmen I was too caught up in the thought of spending a summer with my friends from home to really care.

An open letter to my 14-year-old sister

I'm about to give my last few tours of this campus which means that there are precious few opportunities for someone to fulfill my dream and pull off the next Drinking-Time-level prank with my tour group as the unsuspecting audience (June 2nd, 11:15 a.m.

Every person has that one random summer job he or she is constantly trying to forget about. You know what I'm talking about that time when you gave Duck Tours alongside a group of elderly women, cleaned animal feces out of the cages of your city zoo or served as a branch manager for a local McDonald's (Yes Danny, I saw the pictures).

It has been over six months since Verizon released the Motorola Droid, and that makes it a senior citizen in technology terms (or maybe just a '10). That is probably why Verizon recently announced the new HTC Droid Incredible.

A Date in the Hand is Worth Two on the Bus?

As senior Spring draws to an end and formal season begins, I find myself approaching my 13th and final Dartmouth formal unless you want to invite me to a 14th or 15th?! With so many formals, finding a proper date can be quite an adventure.
