While it may be too early to start the countdown to graduation, we can’t help but be reminded by our stressed-out peers in business suits, and the always popular “so what are you doing next year?” that, in a few months, we will have to say goodbye to the place we have called home for the past four years.

Hogwarts + Disney World = Dartmouth. In a world where smiles abound, students are (often literally) colorful and shiny, and Justice vs. Simian's "We Are Your Friends" is the theme song, it can be easy to forget that this famed equation requires a crucial addendum: Only for some. More »
So now that our intrepid freshmen have officially cemented their place in history as the worst class ever (apparently it’s possible to overlook a massive, belligerent mob screaming at you to “touch the fire already”) I think it’s time to take them to task for another serious fault: excessive friendliness. I realize they’re still desperate to network and meet some people who can get them on table and up their “college friends” count on Facebook, but attempting to make small talk with me in the line of quietly dying people waiting for a new pot of Collis coffee to brew is simply not allowed.

**Drunk version:** Blah blah blah Animal House blah blah. Where the f*ck is Human House. I want to go to there. Hiccup. **Sober version:** I don’t care if you hate Dartmouth, or if you love Dartmouth. If you have a brain in your skull you can understand what needs to change. We have 13 IFC fraternities and eight Panhellenic sororities, for a student body that is 50 percent men and 50 percent women (not to mention a freshman class which is 51 percent women).

There are a handful of complaints that will crop up in any rant about Dartmouth: Collis is always overcrowded, we’re in the middle of nowhere, we have too much work. More »
Think back to the moment when you signed the enrollment agreement form confirming your decision to come to Dartmouth. I can almost guarantee that, as we signed the next four years of our life away to the College on the Hill, many of us were thinking the same thing: Thank the SAT gods, I will never again have to fill out another Common Application.

Dear Miss Muffin Top, I really want to go to a sorority semi-formal. How do I score an invitation? —Lord of the Dance Dear Michael Flatley, Send a preemptive and unexpected blitz. Chances are she is wracking her brain for eligible young men she knows, so make sure she thinks of you. This is not to say you should ever mention the semi in your blitz — DO NOT. Thou shalt never reveal your agenda. More »
1. I hate reading about my sexual performance the next day on BoredatBaker. Disagree! Disagree! 2. There are only two to three weeks each year when it’s warm enough to complete the Dartmouth Seven. More »
In an era plagued by painfully artsy hipsters flaunting destroyed clothing and androgenous wardrobes, it is refreshing to meet people, like Max Moran ’12, who have an appreciation for the traditional. With his olive skin and effortlessly side-swept coiffure, Moran is a good ‘ole southern boy shipped to Hanover directly from Jackson Preparatory School in Mississippi. He loves clean lines and workable fabrics — nothing synthetic — but overall he values function and practicality. More »
’13 Girl : I just really want to hook up with a Yale boy because I wanted to go there. It will be like closure. ’10 Sigma Delt: You know you have a problem when you find your thesis notebook in the basement. On the bar. More »
