The Drunkest Girls at the Party

|

As we sat innocently at 6:30 p.m. on Friday eating our pesto pasta special from FoCo (RAGE, we know), we didn't expect anyone to take offense that we were being the drunkest girls in the place (although we were, in fact, sober). "PING...PING," both of our crackberries (yeah, so obnoxious) simultaneously begin to seize on the table.

Psst... Gossip on the Green

Oscar Wilde once quipped that, "The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about." What these words may lack in poetry they certainly make up for in pithiness.

I have always despised gossip and those who participate in it. We all know that gossip-mongers are just devious haters in disguise and no one likes a hater (that's part of the definition of hater after all). For that reason, whenever I hear someone spouting rumors, I well, actually I keep my mouth shut and listen intently.

Editor's Note

This week The Mirror turns to gossip and we're focusing on Bored@Baker, the gorilla in the room of Dartmouth smack-talk. I admit that I feel a little regret about highlighting a website that deserves to have less traffic, not more attention, but B@B is fun to read about and interesting to analyze.

In the midst of the pressing campus dialogue over dolphinz and really freaking brutal pledge terms (the yacht was last seen in Occum Pond, FYI) a more serious issue has egregiously been overlooked THEY ARE TAKING AWAY BLITZ.

Ask Miss Muffin Top

When she learned of this week's gossip' theme (from the source, guys, like, seriously), Miss Muffin Top decided to boldly go where no muffin had ever been before.

Counterpoint: Is it good to gossip?

About a month into my relationship with my ex, or former-somewhat-exclusive-hookup, he told me that he had been surprised that he liked me, given all that he had heard of me before our relationship started.

Breaking free of that spring thing

Due to the consequences of the fickle financial system, I will not be able to make my journey into the season of rebirth and revelry, of fertility and romance, of conches and coolers and knock-off Corona bikinis.

Greetings from Nairobi

As you're sitting holed up in the library at 1:00 a.m., looking out the window and wishing you could teleport back to your dorm room instead of trudging through the snow in the cold, I am walking to work in a T-shirt.

Walking into Collis to see what soups have been cooked up that day is like checking your sent blitzes' folder the morning after an especially rage-y night you never really know what you are going to get.

What better way to expand your horizons and learn about new cultures than to travel? Of course, the real reason for traveling now is just to escape the barren, soul-crushing dreariness that is a New Hampshire winter.

Dartmouth clearly has the most emo motto of all the schools in the Ivy League (add some mournful melodies and black nail polish to "A Voice Crying Out In The Wilderness" and you've got a half-decent Bright Eyes song), which is probably because Eleazar Wheelock was Hanover's first official case of Seasonal Affective Disorder.
