Of all the awful people walking around, the ones I can't stand the most are the ones telling me to live every moment like it's my last.
How often do you "go out" at Dartmouth? Don't actually answer, or the person sitting next to you might mistake you for one of those schizophrenics that pretends to be having a Bluetooth conversation while walking their dog but is in fact actually talking to their dog.
I usually have no problem shirking the Mirror theme any given week, but ignoring the "Real Talk" theme made me anxious.
This column is going to be unpopular. Don't care. Real Talk: Alcohol makes you a terrible person.
We struggled to find a serious bone in our bodies after years of hiding everything behind jokes and the massive amount of hair on one of our heads.
When I sat down to write a "real talk" article on risk taking, I came to the stark conclusion that I may be the least qualified person on this campus to do so.
There is a chirp. It begins as a single chirp, but then someone responds to the call, and next thing you know all of campus is chirping.
So, the theme of the Mirror this week is "Real Talk." Which, just as a warning, is something I'm not particularly good at.
Amidst the chatter regarding the growing unease on campus following the departures of several female minority staff and faculty members, I have been enormously gratified to see a push for positive change where once there was complacency and apathy.
Deidra Willis / The Dartmouth Staff Too often at Dartmouth we try not to take things too seriously, and I'll admit that The Mirror is especially guilty of such frivolousness.
If we're gonna talk about numbers, let's talk about how many junk blitzes I've received in the last 24 hours: 48.
'13 Girl about a man in a club in barcelona: I told him he was a f*cking idiot, but he still took my number.'13 Girl: That's like the time I peed on a Psi U, and he still hooked up with me. '13 Girl: I feel like I've grown a lot in the past year.
Deidra Willis / The Dartmouth Staff I've never been good with math, so I'll admit I was a bit apprehensive about an entire Mirror issue all about numbers.
Stat: The phrase "alternative social space" has been featured in 208 articles in The Dartmouth to date 209 if you count this column. How's that for a statistic?
The Sparrow's Nest
New Hampshire is a very white state and I'm not referring to the snow that covers the ground in the winter.
Some people argue that you can't put a price tag on a Dartmouth education. Luckily, I can. The total cost of attendance for the 2010-2011 academic year is $55,724, up 4.6 percent from the 2009-2010 academic year, according to the College's Fact Book.
Fact: There are 4,248* undergraduates at Dartmouth. Follow-up fact: At least 4,000 undergraduates at Dartmouth are horrifically awkward individuals. Okay, little ones, don't panic.
I remember coming here freshman year and being stunned by how white everyone was. Yeah, maybe this is the sink calling the toilet porcelain, but coming from Atlanta, it was unsettling at first.
