Needless to say, things don't always work out perfectly. Let's back up to last Winter despite high hopes, my term didn't go exactly as planned: Orgo kicked my butt, I barely had time to use my season pass to Killington and I managed the long, cold walk to the gym like, twice. But you know what? I still had a GREAT term. As ambitious Dartmouth students, we often forget that we don't have to get straight As, rage every night and be all-around perfect to have a good term. The perfect term can largely consist of Dirt Cowboy coffee dates, or watching Lost reruns with your roommate.
That being said, as the new Mirror editor (hi everyone!) I have some pretty grandiose aspirations for this Winter. Thanks to our fantastic writers, columnists and my fellow editors, I'm sure The Mirror, at least, will have the best term ever.
