Overheards

By The Dartmouth | January 16, 2009

'09 Guy: Of course I'm drinking. Do you really think that I'm going to be sober and stand around a gross, smelly basement watching people try to awkwardly worm their way into each others' pants? '12 Guy: I only boot in toilets because I have class. '09 Girl: Triple sec is horrid.

Counterpoint: Hometown Friends

By Christine Paquin | January 16, 2009

Your home friends: They're the ones who knew you before you thought doming was a sport. Blitz is alien to them, they think large fires surrounded by teeming hordes signify something akin to the occult and, for these special some-ones, pong means Beirut.

Point: Hometown Friends

By Joanna Patterson | January 16, 2009

I admit it, I drank the Kool-Aid. I came to believe that all things Dartmouth were the best ever, and that all parts of my past life -- everything from lingo to pals -- were just that, part of the past.

Greetings From ... Mexico

By Eve Ahearn | January 16, 2009

Here's a short list of things I was warned not do in Mexico before leaving for the Spanish Language Study Abroad program: 1.Don't take taxis off the street -- to avoid being ripped off/being kidnapped. 2.Don't drink the water. 3.Don't eat food from street vendors, an extension of number two because of the water issue. List of those things that I've done since arriving: well, obviously, all of them. Before arriving in Mexico, my family and professor provided me with a phone number for a "safe" private taxi.

I'm having some issues...

By Carol Brown | January 16, 2009

Dear Carol, I had heard that the "morning-after" blitz was pretty standard practice at Dartmouth, but so far I have yet to see this fable reach my inbox.

Breaking Through: Double Helixir of Love - The Future of Sex

By Sandra Himen | January 16, 2009

2008 was a huge year for sex -- and I'm talking Ron-Jeremy huge. This was the year gay marriage was championed as a federal issue, the year a Yale student induced numerous abortions in the name of art and the year the big-screen debut of the "Sex and the City" movie spurred a theatre-bound, mass migration of young teenagers salivating over the lifestyle of the cosmopolite cougar. 2008 was also the year that Match.com boasted record-high 16 million members spanning 37 countries, and generated an impressive $350 million in revenues.

Greetings from ... Toulouse

By Dylan Leavitt | January 9, 2009

Editor's Note: This term, The Mirror will feature select staffers' thoughts on life abroad, everything from the day-to-day to how their experiences overseas affect their perspectives on life at home and at Dartmouth. I'm embarrassed to say this, but I arrived in Toulouse, France on the LSA+ expecting to be inundated with a different species of human -- the French -- that constantly smokes, drinks wine and feeds me baguettes for lunch.

THIS, Sir, Is My Case!

By Rembert Browne | January 9, 2009

"Here it comes the party of a lifetime/31st of December/Man I remember when the ball dropped for '90/Now it's 9-9/ten years behind me" -- Will Smith, "Will 2K" Time sure does fly by when Will Smith stops making music ... I don't really remember when the ball dropped for '90; I was two, and still couldn't walk, but I did know cursive.

The DM Manual of Style

By Stefanie Zychowski | January 9, 2009

Looking for a fresh way to celebrate the New Year in style? Ditch the same, old boring goals -- lose weight, spend less, exercise, eat healthy, get more sleep -- (you know you'll forget them by the end of the month, anyway) and make some fashion resolutions instead!

Editor's Note

By Jennifer Argote and Amita Kulkarni | January 9, 2009

We hate New Year's Resolutions. We always make them, and then we break them, and then we just feel bad about ourselves when late December rolls around and we look back on another failed year.
