Reading period is the period between the end of classes and the beginning of the examination period.
All around campus, students can be found either frantically looking for a proper place to study or are already well into the fifth chapter of neuroscience.
However, although the intensity of the reading period can often be too much to bear, Dartmouth organizations and members of the local community have found a way to bring a little bit of cheer into what otherwise might be considered a stressful period.
Today, as I was studying, I was greeted by a enormous (yet approachable) gingerbread man (courtesy of Agape, a Christian fellowship of campus) and was offered a Pavillion cookie.
Only a few hours later, I was greeted by an even friendlier community member who was walking around handing out candy to everyone. When I asked what this was for, she simply replied, "Nothing. Just wanted to wish you good luck for finals!"
Same gestures of kindness make a difference. Only at Dartmouth.
