How to Avoid a Hangover Without Really Trying

|

I dedicate this article to my two roommates of years past, who have bought me Powerade and oyster crackers in times of dire need and have generally tolerated me during days when I have kept our one-room doubles completely dark until 6 p.m. I've had a lot of hangovers in my time. In high school, I was a cocky little shit who thought I was constitutionally immune from the alleged feeling of illness that follows a night of drinking.

Welcome to the first edition of the Reboot and Rally Guide to Getting it On. Although the title might seem quite suggestive, remind yourself that you're reading a tech column and then remove your head from the proverbial gutter.

A Dorm of My Own: Cohen 101C

|

Marguerite Imbert / The Dartmouth Marguerite Imbert / The Dartmouth The first thing that catches my eye when I walk into Cohen 101C the room of Nicole Chiavacci '14 is a Gothic black wrought iron chandelier stuck flat against her wall. "It's a sticker," she says, peeling up an edge as she hops up onto her bed, displacing an overalled old bear in the process.

Hot to Make it to Your 9L

To be honest, I couldn't get up on time to make it to my 9L several times this term. Instead, I would go to the second session at 10.

Dartmouth's My Favorite

|

Last week, someone asked me why my column was so consistently ignorant of The Mirror's weekly theme. "Don't you think it's a little self-involved that you just write whatever you feel like?" Nancy Negativity asked. While I appreciated her honesty and felt she had a valid point, I couldn't help thinking, "Well, guess who sucks?" (Hey Nancy, it's you.) Luckily for me, my vengeance was clear and simple, thanks to the "How-To" theme of this week's issue; I could both show Nancy that I am capable of staying on topic and figuratively slap her soul in the face.

How to do Laundry

|

Dartmouth is rough on clothing, just in case you weren't aware. Between dirty frat basements, DDS spills, stains from the lab or whatever other else you may encounter, it's possible you'll need to do more than just throw your clothes in a machine.

How to Find Out Relevant Information About Someone You Only Sort of Know

|

Stop pretending this is exceedingly creepy. We all do it. I've seen you in Collis. The DND is your best friend. Arguably the most important skill to master for any aspiring stalker, the DND aka Dartmouth Name Directory is clearly a sign from the heavens that you should get to know your fellow Dartmouth community members better!

How to Talk to a Blacked-Out Person

|

1) Make no sudden movements. 2) Say things that make no sense. Claim it was a pun. Laugh loudly for 30 seconds. 3) Every few minutes, ask, "Remember when Michael Jackson died?" 4) If they start to cry, RUN.
