Hollisto's World
By Chad Hollis | May 24, 2012Full disclosure: This is the last Hollisto's World that I will ever write for The Dartmouth. Like most seniors on campus, it's time for me to move on.

I've been watching a lot of "Mad Men" recently, and I've started to notice a few things. First, Don Draper is an absolute boss.
This week, both my NHL and NBA teams were knocked out of the playoffs. A rational person would simply have been bummed out, but I was devastated.

If I asked a room full of people to share solely positive opinions about college football's Bowl Championship Series, I wouldn't hear anything but chirping crickets and muffled swears.

A couple weeks ago I discovered a new passion. Surprisingly, Hanover decided to give us one good week of weather, so I spent an entire Saturday afternoon enjoying the gorgeous sunshine.
Memes seem to be the new rage in the tiny, insular bubble we call Dartmouth College. Although I have not personally added my own creation to this newfound stream of social criticism, an old buddy of mine who goes to Princeton (don't judge his character by his institution, he's one of the few gems who just happens to live in the douchebag capital of the world) turned my excited face into a meme about things I cannot mention in this publication. My meme would be a picture of Kel from the classic Nickelodeon sitcom "Keenan and Kel" holding a bottle of orange soda.
When the NBA lockout threatened to destroy the entire 2012 season of one of my favorite sports, I nearly lost it.
Now that the winter is finally behind us, we can finally enjoy all that Dartmouth has to offer. It's still a little nippy outside, but I'm sure the good weather will come barreling in faster than a Harvard grad chasing an insider trading opportunity.
