Overheards

By The Dartmouth | February 3, 2011

'11 BG: After I brush my teeth, all I want to do is a little exfoliating scrub, but there's no way you can do that with drunk people next to you. '14 Cheerleader: I hate spending the entire night at GDX every night. '13 Girl 1: It's so awkward when you're playing pong with a guy that you don't want to hook up with.'13 Girl 2: Wait, then why are you playing pong with him in the first place? '11 Sigma Delt: I'm really good at having a fake lazy eye. '12 Girl: Did Sigma Delt have a theme for meetings or do they all wear flannels just because? '12 Girl 1: Who are you taking to semi?'12 Girl 2: I'm taking a '13 or a '14 because I'm scared of the '11s and I don't like the '12s. '14 Guy: Tri Delt is co-ed right?'13 Tri Delt: No.'14 Guy: Just kidding, I was thinking about Tri Kap. '12 girl about '14 Guy: he's cute.

Editor's Note

By Christina Wray | February 3, 2011

Justin Cozad / The Dartmouth Staff With Valentine's Day fast approaching, we tend to get a little selfish, caught up in the people and things we love as individuals.

Members only

By Kathryn Arffa | February 3, 2011

Congratulations, you have been admitted to the Dartmouth College Class of 2011! So read the first line of the college admittance letter we all received, give or take a few digits.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

By Tom Mandel | February 3, 2011

Every suggestion so far for a new Dartmouth mascot is stupid. You know why? Because none of these suggestions would please everyone. Let's put the Dartmouth mascot debate to an end.

Dartmouth Loves Dating?

By Zoe Williams | February 3, 2011

I can sum up my attitude towards dating at Dartmouth in three words: Don't do it. I have exactly three friends (all squash players, weirdly enough) who have thus far managed to forge lasting, happy and essentially balanced relationships at this romantic wasteland we call home.

Dartmouth's day out

By Mackenzie Bohannon | February 3, 2011

We all love Dartmouth. Dartmouth loves all of us. Despite all this talk about love, some of us here at The Mirror couldn't help but remember that we're drowning in mother-effing midterms.

I wrote this at 3 a.m.

By Kathleen Mayer | February 3, 2011

I talk a lot about apathy and try to hang it on masculine expectations of emotional detachment or the shallowness of digital communication or whatever else.

Dartmouth loves to complain

By Matt Lifson | February 3, 2011

If I hear one more person complain about something at Dartmouth, I'm going to lose it. I'm in the 1902 Room right now, so if it happens as I write this I swear to God I'm going to flip a table in here, flip it back over, stand on it, go on a long-winded and obnoxiously loud tirade about the tyranny of complainers and then sit back down and not do anything about it. Where do I even begin when it comes to complainers?

Dartmouth loves A medians

By Patrick Chen | February 3, 2011

I remember when an admissions dude came to my high school and told us something along the lines of "Dartmouth students like to challenge themselves by voluntarily taking difficult high-level courses with low medians." Wonderful I thought, Dartmouth is like MIT in the middle of the woods, filled with English majors that take orgo for fun and science majors taking seminars in European medieval history.

Just Press Play

By Patrick Chen | January 27, 2011

They say you can't judge a book by its cover. Does that mean you can't judge Dartmouth by an admission book?

'11 Social Chair: I'm trying to get my house on probation. Then I won't have to do anything for the rest of the term. '11 Girl: Last night I used a particularly scratchy pong paddle to file my nails. '11 Engineer: When life gives you lemons, make Four Loko. '11 Girl 1: I just can't figure out what year he is.

Dartmouth goes home

By Mike Urbach | January 27, 2011

Most Dartmouth students love this College. But what do the people back home think? We all have individual identities, but there's no denying that by choosing to go to Dartmouth, we associate ourselves to some extent with its reputation and not just the academic one. Initially, my parents were on the accepted-student cloud for months.

The Light at the End of the Tunnel

By Tom Mandel | January 27, 2011

Summer of 2007. I've just graduated from high school, I'm awkward, I'm set to matriculate at Dartmouth and I spend my days trying (and failing) to get with girls and find that mythical fun-and-booze-filled party.

Smart House

By Leslie Ye | January 27, 2011

Yeah, yeah. We're the inspiration for "Animal House" and the inventors of pong. We go out more days per week than we go to class (unless you are a poor soul with a 10A) and I've heard that 1 percent of the world's Keystone is sold here.
