What I’m thankful for: Dartmouth edition

Ah, another fall has come to a close. It’s a magical time where:

• Freshmen try to lick their wounds after experiencing their first finals – it’s easier to celebrate mediocrity if you start now, guys…
• Sophomores despite donning their fresh new Greek gear, fade into obscurity and non-importance when they realize they’re not as cute and innocent after getting a year under their belt…
• Juniors stumble home exhausted after finishing their fifth term in a row…
• Seniors start realizing their time at Dartmouth is quickly coming to an end and the anxiety sets in:
  

  So, do you know what you’re doing after graduation? 

  Do you have a job?

  Wait, what do you mean you haven’t done your swim test yet?

Whatever our differences, coming home for Thanksgiving/the holidays is something many can relate to. There’s something about dealing with prying eyes from relatives and probing questions from your parents that really make you miss that place where the biggest issue in your life was someone talking too loudly on 3FB during finals.

While you’re all dodging awkward questions about relationships and Dartmouth’s drinking scene and at the same time trying to figure out if you could murder your deadbeat cousin without any serious repercussions, here are some Dartmouth Yaks so you can reflect on why you should be thankful for Dartmouth this Thanksgiving…
