It's All in the Family

By Lauren Huff | January 30, 2014

As I sat in FoCo last week, I noticed yet again how close even the most seemingly mundane parts of campus make me feel to my family.

The Stall Street Journal

By Luke McCann | January 30, 2014

In the finely crafted art of distributing information via flyers, there are three keys to success, much like with real estate or electrical outlets. In no particular order, these are location, location, location. This mantra is the core of The Stall Street Journal, whose single-page publications are strategically poised at eye level in restrooms across campus.

Profile: Theater Professor Peter Hackett

By Mary Liza Hartong | January 30, 2014

When imagining a theater professor, I would not immediately think of Peter Hackett. Instead, I picture a man in a black turtleneck and beret, someone who sports the sort of mustache that belongs in an 18th century portrait and drops French words into every conversation.

Unplugged: A Digital Saga

By Michelle Li | January 30, 2014

First-world problems had never been so relevant until a week ago, when I took my phone out of my pocket and realized with horror that it would not turn on.

HELL WEEK SUN GOD RETURNS: Why is he still here? The world may never know. GETTING TAPPED: Even if you didn't get that incredibly trolly blitz from the Sphinx, we're sure you've heard rumors about cryptic blitzes and the magic of secret societies.

More Than Just a Number

By Amanda Winch | January 23, 2014

As the oldest and self-proclaimed favorite of my family’s three children, I was the guinea pig while my mom and dad tried their hand at the whole parenting thing. As it turns out, my mom had heard that the other (presumably more learned) mothers had started supplementing their infants’ diets with sweet potatoes for extra nutrition. Perhaps a heavier emphasis should have been placed on the word “supplement,” because they ended up feeding me so many sweet potatoes that I actually turned orange. I repeat — I was the guinea pig. I was back in the hospital two weeks later. Everyone thought I had jaundice.

Editors' Note

By Erin Landau and Marina Shkuratov | January 23, 2014

For as long as we can remember, we’ve been surrounded by rankings. Our dads shouted at the TV when there was an upset (Erin’s about basketball, Marina’s about assorted Russian music awards). We were both bummed when that girl from PE class suddenly removed us from her Top Eight on MySpace. And don’t even get us started on the Neopets games room.

I Can Teach You, But I'll Have to Charge

By Michelle Li | January 23, 2014

Outrageous fees are part of the college admissions process — it’s no big secret. With preparation books for every standardized test imaginable, application fees that stop you from adding that one last safety school to your list and pricey volumes with oddly specific titles like “The 437.5 Best Colleges in the U.S.” and “100 College Admissions Essays That Really, Truly, Actually, Honestly, Definitely Worked,” it’s impossible to escape the process with your wallet unscathed.

Memory Lane

January 23, 2014

On a winter night my freshman year, I jolted awake from a poorly planned nap crammed between midterm study sessions. With a devastating sense of loss, I realized that my mother was nowhere to be found. I called out to her, my eyes bloodshot, then fell back into bed. I was not in my house in Korea, 6,600 miles away, but rather in my dorm room at Dartmouth, my supposed home away from home.

Off-Turmoil

By Sara Kassir | January 23, 2014

I couldn’t even tell you the number of times my editors cut out the Dartmouth cliches I used in my first Mirror articles during freshman year. References like #facetime, the weather being unbelievably cold and all forms of “so/too real” were akin to profanity. But for me, these were the easy jokes because as a freshman, I understood them. I could even execute them. And it never occurred to me how little insight they conveyed to the upperclassmen that had heard the punch lines thousands of times before I ever stepped on campus.
