To everything there is a season, and at Dartmouth it seems that our years as upperclassmen are the season for getting fat and going insane. If you disagree, take a quick glance around the basement on any recent evening of our waning sophomore summer: We are all well on our way to becoming campus clichés. More »
However much you would like to deny it, Summer term is coming to a close. Finals are approaching, the weather's cooling down and Beta alums are busy setting up Betavision 2.0. For those still holding on to that summer fling, it's time to drop him or her like cutter. Here are a few hints on how to cut your losses and start fresh this fall. More »
If you ignored my earlier advice to hook up with half of the campus, you may have found yourself with a permanent pong partner (known outside of our bubble as a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" with whom you go on "dates.") As sophomore summer draws to a close and the junior class scatters to our respective Bridgewater-provided abodes or overpriced student hovels, the question of what to do with this person looms large. Do you buy extra cell phone minutes, memorize every variation of his Blitz nicknames and (gulp) actually put yourself "In a Relationship" on Facebook? In keeping with my theme of hedonistic irresponsible advice: NO! I even have a list of handy little reasons why not. More »

So you've only gone to the River three times, and the Copper Mines zero. Where are your fun summer fling(s)?

All around you, friends are living out their sophomore summers: random midnight drives to Montreal, pursuing the frat hookup quota, playing copious amounts of pong -- and getting significantly better than you -- running 17 miles a day, finally hanging out, being wild, and taking only two classes to enable all of this behavior.

Halfway through our time at Dartmouth, we are either motivated by our conscience or by our parents' threats to stop supporting us financially, to put down the pong paddle and pick up a copy of the "Case in Point." This fall, many '10s will be interning in different parts of the country, and some will even go abroad. Let's be honest, none of us are really ready for this, but we might as well pretend we are. Here are the Fashion Do's and Don'ts. on how to look the part in your real-world job... even if you have no clue what you are doing. More »
Holga Camera + Starter Kit $70.00 In the age of the ubiquitous digital point and shoot, the Holga is a refreshing breath of air with its use of 120mm film. It emphasizes snapshot photography with a soft focus and hazy feel, especially when shooting in black and white. The Holga has appeal for both the casual shooter (who only takes inebriated pictures in basements) and the seasoned veteran with a fancy D-SLR. www.shop.lomography.com More »
'10 AZD: God, that makes our hook up so much more legit now that he's won Masters. '10 Theta Delt: Man, I wish we could have room to room blow jobs. Too bad no sorority would be down for that More »
