Homecoming is the quintessential Dartmouth weekend. As Baker Tower shines its green light and alumni stream back to their old home, students put down their pens and laptops and run from the classrooms of Dartmouth Hall, the labs of Wilder and the stacks of Berry to the bonfire and the sunburn that comes with it.
No, really, wear sunscreen.
This weekend, Dartmouth will be transformed. Students will encounter 56-year-old alumni sinking cups in AD's basement (and often winning). Green men in antlers will run around skyrocketing flames on the Green. People might even show up for a Dartmouth football game.
But seriously, live it up this weekend. Go out and support your friends on the field, get a chance to talk to a few alumni about their experiences, hike Mt. Moosilauke and play soccer on the Green. Oh yeah, and definitely hit up the bonfire too.
Take the time to go out and meet new people -- expand your circle of friends. Just hope that you remember who they are when Dartmouth returns to itself Monday morning.
