In honor of Yom Kippur, this week The Mirror turns its eyes on the guilt that plagues us all. When I told my mom about the theme she said, 'What does guilt have to do with Yom Kippur?!" Exactly, Mom. Exactly. And f*ck you for breast-feeding me until I was 5. More »
This week, we sent some feelers across campus to see what Dartmouth students feel guiltiest about. Birth control. Mommy-Daddy issues. Sex in a professor's office (nbd). And so much more... More »

Allison Kay '09 and Sam Stimmel '09 are Health Services' Sexpert interns. Sexperts since their junior and sophomore years, respectively, they are in charge of educating new Sexperts, programming Sexpert events and knowing everything there is to know about sex.
