Off-campus dining: Collis and FoCo are really getting old. Streaking the Green: When did this become a thing, and why is it so fun? Flair-abuse: Seizing our last opportunities to flair up and go wild. Class participation: Guess people just remembered that we actually get grades this term... Bug bites
You may judge me for saying this, but my spirit animal is a fly. Yes, that's exactly what I said.
Allison Wang / The Dartmouth Senior Staff Like architectural experimentation, Western democracy, epic poetry, philosophy and most other foundational pillars of high culture, the institution of spring break arose in ancient Greece.
Waking up groggily from my typical mid-day nap in my newly fabulous king-sized bed (did anyone know that two twin XL beds mashed together magically creates a king-sized sleeping heaven?), I am forced to contemplate the age-old question we have all been asking since it was cool to watch "The Land Before Time" to nap or not to nap? Truth is, getting enough sleep at college is a rare delicacy, like Beluga caviar or that awesome African Drumming 2A.
The deranged individuals at CNN Money that rated Hanover as the sixth best place to live in America were obviously off of their collective rockers have you seen how unsafe this town is?

When I was younger, a sleepover with a friend always felt like a blessing from the gods. To prepare, I would begin to eagerly concoct plans in anticipation.
It is almost always an exciting, joyous and eagerly anticipated event when vacation from Dartmouth rolls around.
