Life At Camp Dartmouth

The beauty of sophomore summer.

Life At Camp Dartmouth
Andi Norman

I am gonna come right out and say it: I love summer school. Maybe it’s the place, maybe it’s the people, but Sophomore Summer has been one of the best summers ever. Forget the 6:30 workouts and normal class load. The College on the Hill makes for a perfect summer spot. Here’s why.


Lazy days at the river

With no air conditioning in dorms and the heat of summer, one of the only ways to cool off (besides a cold shower) is heading down to the river. Time spent at the river is never time wasted.

Workouts with my people

Although 6:15 lift is not the most fun thing I have ever done, working out with the other '18s motivates the hell out of me. I absolutely love getting to train with my four best friends leading up to our junior year. Also, it is infinitely better than completing the summer workout packet at home (sorry squad...).

Homework on the Green (doing anything on the Green, really)

While homework during summer months is not an ideal situation, sitting out in the green makes it much more bearable. The green is a great place to make everything better, from eating meals to studying for exams to evening sunsets.

'18s everywhere!!!

I love the '17s and my '19s, and even my incoming '20s, but having only the '18s on campus is an awesome opportunity to meet other classmates. While I am not one to branch out much, I have more this term than the previous two years combined. And though I have made new friends this summer, I can assure you that it is rare to see me without my fellow DWB '18s.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
