What the '15s Think About Our 14X Photos
(08/08/14 7:34pm)
As the weeks go on, '15s off-campus have been enviously eyeing our Facebook albums and recalling their own carefree days of sophomore summer. Some albums have acquired witty X-themed titles, some are still “14X” and waiting for that perfect what-x-word-has-no-one-used-yet vibe, and all of them are inspiring the upperclassmen waiting to come back to campus to try and somehow relive sophomore summer in whatever city their current internship is in. This, dear '16s, is what the '15s actually think about your sophomore summer album.
Unconventional Advice for '18s
(08/08/14 7:21pm)
As summer term winds down, the imminent arrival of a whole new Dartmouth class is starting to dawn on the rest of the student body. You may be feeling nostalgic, looking back to those last months before you came to campus, reading through The D’s freshman issue and panicking over the possibilities for your future roommate. Back then, your knowledge of Dartmouth was confined to what was present in the mass media and maybe some tidbits of advice from your Dimensions host or an older sibling or friend who went here. And now you, the ’18s, are experiencing similar sentiments. However, there are some things the freshmen issue won’t tell you, and things your siblings or friends wouldn’t think to tell you. But don’t worry, Dartbeat has your back.

(08/07/14 3:02pm)
Over sophomore summer, you imagined the weather would be sunny and 70 every day. Unfortunately, over the last few weeks, it has been raining a little too much. Here at Dartbeat, we know all too well that when it’s raining — and when your plans to go to the River after your 12 have been ruined — it can feel like it’s just you against the world. So to help you feel a little less alone, we’ve compiled a list of five famous people who hate the rain just as much as you do.
Things We Could Replace KAF With
(08/06/14 3:07pm)
As December draws closer (what) and with it comes the date when KAF may forever disappear from our lives — and by disappear I mean that you’d have to drive a whole six minutes to the factory in Norwich — I’ve started brainstorming a list of things that could replace KAF, and maybe, dare I say it, be even better?
How Recruiting Actually Went
(08/06/14 12:37pm)
It’s July 6, and you’re ready to submit your resumes and cover letters. You’ve triple-checked every last one, and you’re ready to cast your fate into the void of Dartboard, confident that your hard work and meticulous editing will bear fruit… psych. We all know that’s how it was supposed to go, but it’s sophomore summer, and no one’s spent more than a contiguous hour working since May. This is how corporate recruiting actually went.
New Single Shows 18's Cluster Pride
(08/05/14 8:29pm)
Marcus Reid '18 — perhaps better known by his rap name "Ill Fayze" — might have just dropped the most fire single of 14F one month before freshman trips. The McLaughlin Anthem is as much an ode to Byrne, Berry, Bildner and Rauner as it is a diss track to all the other clusters. It's clear he's still working on Dartspeak — he's excited he won't have to live in the "coats" cluster — but it's just as clear he can't wait to get on campus, where his "room's got drank and space." Find his soundcloud here, or follow him on Twitter at @MarcusCantReid1.

Looking at you, Astro 1. 1. When course election rolls around, you’re pumped to see the easy professor is teaching this term. Fulfilling a requirement and still having time to go down to the river all day every day? Awesome. Courtesy of A Band Apart/Via awesomegifs.com 2. Day 1: You go over the syllabus as a class. There’s something about weekly quizzes, but it’s kind of a blur. Wait, how long was that final essay supposed to be? What’s the policy on late work? Whatever, syllabi aren’t real. Courtesy of Disney Channel/Via rebloggy.com 3. Day 2: The professor is flying through the first lecture, and you’re trying desperately to keep up with the notes – SLOW DOWN, WHAT ARE WE EVEN LEARNING RIGHT NOW!? I STILL HAVEN’T BOUGHT ANY BOOKS FOR THIS CLASS YET. Via reactiongifs.com 4. Night before the first quiz. You glance at your notes while watching Netflix and got to sleep. It’s a layup, so how hard could a quiz be? Besides, you get to drop your lowest quiz grade, so who cares? Courtesy of Spyglass Entertainment/Via blogs.olin.edu 5. Walking out of first quiz: Okay, relax. They have to get easier from here. Via teen.com 6. They don’t get easier from there. Via giphy.com 7. Sitting in class becomes unbearable. Every once in awhile, you’ll exchange glances with the person sitting next you and just sigh. Neither one of you has any idea what’s going on. Via imgur.com 8. Tedious labs? Hours of work outside of class? What is this? SOMEONE LIED TO ME. Courtesy of Warner Bros./Via mashable.com 9. First test – you’re fine. Just breathe. Why would so many people take this class every summer if it wasn’t easy? Right? Via goodreads.com 10. You get the first test back. This is your face. Via gifsec.com 11. Week 7: You’re exhausted and have never been more ready for a class to be over. Is it too late to NRO? Via giphy.com 12. Walking out of your final: It wasn’t pretty, but it’s over. FREE AT LAST.

Eight Fundraisers That Will Never Be, But Should
(07/29/14 9:07pm)
Blitz inboxes have been full of Prouty updates and Deltas all over campus have been pelted with giant, rubber balls. This can only mean one thing — summer is here, and it’s full of fundraisers that benefit cancer research, children’s hospitals and everything in between. But with so many great fundraisers, what about the ideas that will never come to fruition? We dug deep into the recesses of our post-midterms imaginations (read: not very far, brain is fried) to imagine what kind of fundraising ideas might never make it off the drawing board. And for most of these, it’s truly a shame we will never see them on campus.

(07/28/14 7:00pm)
As any upperclassmen will tell you, sophomore summer is full of unforgettable experiences. Just to make sure you never forget any of those moments, it’s important to document as many of them as possible. But with so many great “iPhone camera” moments (forget Kodak, it’s 2014), how can you possibly pick just one to feature on your aesthetically pleasing, extremely-thought-out Instagram page? Answer: you can’t. Instagram all of them.
Family weekend wrap up
(07/28/14 5:46pm)
When my family started making plans to visit campus this summer, I was ecstatic to show them everything about my life at Dartmouth. As Sophomore Family Weekend starting getting closer and closer, though, I started to wonder how I was going to entertain so many people for a weekend in Hanover. Lou’s is great for breakfast, but what do we do for the rest of the day? I mean you can only take so many tours of the clock tower. With my mom, sister, cousins and just about every other person I’ve ever known coming to see me, it seemed like my Sophomore Family Weekend was about to be one for the books. It was.
How To Prepare for Random Downpours
(07/21/14 5:03pm)
It’s sophomore summer, a time of tanning by the river and reading on the Green. Of course, each beautiful Hanover day we get comes at a price: the ever-looming threat of a sporadic downpour. There’s no rhyme or reason to this crazy New England weather, and even the forecasts can’t seem to get it down. Ever since I had to dump my bag on two of my roommates I saw walking so I could finish biking home through a sudden downpour a few weeks ago, I’ve been extra paranoid about making sure I’m prepared for the all-too-common swings in New Hampshire weather. Here are some tips I’ve accumulated through my own rainy experiences to avoid getting caught unprepared in the rain.

Don’t worry, we know how you feel.
