Vacances

Rage is often a misnomer for what Dartmouth students do. Rage is a monosyllabic, multiuse verb that conveniently describes partying without limits. For example, last night, I started playing pong at 5:30, went to dinner with friends at 7, and was back in the basement playing pong at 9, just until 1 am. Sobriety was lacking throughout, as was sloppy drunkeness. The average age of those in the basment was 22 years, and I have never seen a less destructive or a more responsible evening of merriment. If that was rage, what about my 12 hour bender after taking the LSATs? Or that evening at the beginning of the term of which I have no memory after a certain point? To extend the moniker of rage to a normal night of moderate merriment is to seriously devalue the ponderance of a wild and ragey night of rage.
