With the FoCo Runway out of commission (R.I.P.) and the docks off-limits this summer, what's a '12 to do to get seen?
Never fear: The Mirror's got you covered. Here are our suggestions for adding some facetime to 10X:
ASTR 3, COSC 4, CLST 4:
Anyone who thinks that taking easy courses over sophomore Summer is a waste of time has clearly failed to realize the unimaginable facetime gained in attending any of these classes. (And yes, it IS possible to be enrolled in all three kind of makes you wish you had thought of it sooner.) Ways to pump up the facetime: join a "study" group before an "exam," play charades in the overflow room or show up to class 20 minutes late.
Admissions Tour Guides:
With only a quarter of the student population on campus and a million Dartmouth-wannabes visiting Hanover this term ('15s = Worst Class Ever), tour guides are enjoying greater campus visibility than previously thought possible. The Office of (Facetime) Admissions trains guides to lead tours along the following route: the Green, FFB, Webster Ave. and Collis. Being a tour guide over 10X will give you almost as much facetime as joining a Croo plus, you might even score some facial-recognition among next year's freshmen.
Collis Porch:
Whoever says The Hop is the new FoCo is a liar. Collis is classic. But be aware, eager facetimers: dining indoors makes it much harder to see and be seen. Instead, soak up prime facetime (and some sun) while sitting at the tables outside. The open architecture of the Collis porch creates far more facetime surface area than the curved, narrow courtyard at The Hop. Peak times are between sunrise and sunset.
First Floor Berry:
A classic facetime hot spot, FFB is the epitome of what a good study location should not be open, centrally situated and strategically near Novack. Most importantly, it's air-conditioned, so you won't look sweaty while you pretend to do work.
Talking About Masters 10X:
Verbal facetime that's on par with chatting about the first Astro exam what IS Occam's Razor, anyway? Discussing the intricacies of your house's bracket, the player with the sickest left up-spin serve or your partner's forehand throw-saves will surely attract nearby attention.
The Gym:
With this heat, who wants to risk overly bronzed skin by running outside? The treadmills and elliptical machines are enjoying a spike in popularity this term even guys have traded the lifting machines in the corners of the gym for more centrally-located treadmills. Tip: wearing a lax penny with your Greek letters will amplify the facetime power of the gym.
Unannounced Parties:
Panarchy Rave last weekend proved that nobody goes to the house that blitzes out to campus.
Up and Coming:
Storrs Pond.
Just kidding. Open the docks!
