Editor’s Note

If you want to get lunch, you have to let me know at least a week in advance. If you want to hang out on Friday, we have to decide right now which half-hour time span we are going to see each other. And if you want to have some spontaneous fun, we’ll first have to sit down and coordinate that together. Call me, text me, have your people Blitz my people.
For some reason, Dartmouth students have an impulsive need to be constantly overbooked, over-scheduled and overwhelmed. We constantly complain about our lack of free time, but when confronted with the actual possibility of having some, we quickly join another organization or find ourselves another job to fill all the time we don’t have.
Most of the Mirror staff was actually too busy to write about how busy they are for this issue. In fact, I’m rather surprised we even found the time to pull together one at all. So sit down for a minute and enjoy our frenzied hard work — but don’t forget to keep an eye on the time, or you’ll miss your second lunch date.
