Happy Cinco de Mayo.
My Spanish skills end there, but I respect the traditions of other countries, so I will be celebrating anyway. I heart cultural relativity. More »

A rallying cry for equality
The customary Dartmouth color palette of Hanover Co-op greens, J-Crew blues and Lily Pulitzer pinks came together with neon oak-tag banners and Mexican flags to create a rainbow of color at last Monday’s rally where hundreds congregated in solidarity of the immigrant community in the United States. Combining pastels and neons normally leads to fashion disaster; on May 1, however, such a jarring collection of colors brought attention to an important issue. That issue being immigration rights.

You Ponder This Dartmouth
Dear Hannah and Anna, I’ve really been crushing on this girl lately. She lives on my hall and we’ve gone through a full year of flirty banter. This weekend, we finally hooked up. Everything was going well, but I was really tired and unfortunately I fell asleep mid-hook up. I was mortified and thought that for sure she’d never go for me again, but the next night, we went to a party together and ended up going back to her room. We were both crunked and I ended up booting mid-hook up. She said not to worry and that it happens to everyone, but I’m really afraid I’ve screwed up forever with her. More »

Steal This Column
If you’re anything like me, you have a hard time waking up and making it through your first class without the ranting, obscenities, and awkward boners of “Guy & Fellow,” the stick-figure comic strip/social commentary of Paul Heintz ‘06. More »
Alice Unchained: Brothers in the basement
Once upon a time, there was an only-child named “Me.” I was a happy little girl, content to hang out on my own, to play flip-bottle by myself and to boot on my rattle without being judged by any cradle-crampin’ siblings. I had the playground convinced I’d been the coolest kid in the womb and no tattletales were around to expose me as a thumb-sucker. More »
Hang(over) Out!
I was asked to write this at the last minute, so rather than write a well thought-out, actually meaningful or at least coherent article, I am going to take you through my day: my day with a hangover. More »
