I have a challenge for you: find the changes in the Mirror. (Hint there is more than one and probably less than ten.) It is kind of like an early Easter egg hunt, but not really. I guess it is more like those “find the differences” things that they print in little kids’ publications. I always found those things fun. More »
Dear Hannah and Anna, There’s this guy who keeps asking me to play pong at his frat but I suck — I really struggle keeping the ball on the table, let alone hitting or sinking a cup. Given my lack-luster pong skills, I keep telling him I have something I have to do (not a complete lie), but I am interested in him as more than a friend. So, how do I let said pong-lover know I’m interested in him without letting on to my horrible pong abilities? More »
You’ve seen it around campus, down in A-lot or sidled up beside Robo. You’ve seen it and you’ve wondered, “What gives?” You’ve gotten the auto-replies about “changing the world —- one expensive, time-consuming diesel school bus project at a time” (hi Hancock). It’s driven past while you lounged on the Collis porch, and you thought to yourself, “Well, frisbee practice must be over. Bulk-foods aisle at the Co-op, look out!” But what else do you know about the Big Green Bus? More »
Seven months ago following an intense sophomore summer, I sat down to write a paper for my Spanish class. As I sat in Novack in the wee hours of the morning amidst fellow procrastinators, I found it incredibly difficult to focus on the writings of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. With each sentence completed, I could not help but check updates on cnn.com about a category five hurricane that was pummeling towards my home and my beautiful city of New Orleans. More »
Well, spring is in the air, and as the flowers blossom and hemlines rise, it seems from this week’s quotes that the birds and the bees are also back to their old tricks. In preparation for this pheromone explosion, grab your copies of “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “The Player’s Manual” and the most extensive anatomy textbook you can lay your hands on. Looks like you are gonna need ‘em, folks. More »
Instead of sunbathing and officiating wet T-shirt contests on a beach, my 50-60 degree spring break 2K6 consisted of the choice between beer bonging in a lukewarm hot tub with obese heifers from Arkansas, replaying a Don Vito fingerbang in my head and watching Lifetime Movie Network in a skanky room that smelled like these-bites-are-made-for-pooping Pizza Hut. (Call Studentcity.com today to sign up for 2007! 1-888-SPRING-BREAK.) One day, I decided to break up that monotony and hit the movies to see “V for Vendetta,” mainly because a) Natalie Portman stars, b) no one else wanted to see Amanda Bynes’ “She’s the Man,” and c) I heard that Natalie Portman gets shaved on camera.

Ladies, gentlemen, freshmen, etc.: Welcome back to Dartmouth. Spring is in the air, Main Street’s Goth Bench is blooming, the Froyo Machine is chirping, and I’m happy to report that the Green is, well, on its way to being greenish. Old Man Winter still hasn’t shown up for our annual beating — word is he finally croaked. Hopefully he won’t surprise us with a miraculous resurrection this Spring. That would be pretty unoriginal.

There is nothing fashionable about Real Life — which makes spring break analogous to haute couture. More »
