This week, the NARP duo decided to take on the ultimate beast— intramural soccer, known colloquially as “IM”. Some friends of ours started a team, and knowing our athletic prowess, have been begging us to join for weeks.
Before we officially commence our column, we want to let you all know that we are aware that many of our NARP activities involve self-defense, and this week is no different. We are unsure what this means, but we are rollin’ with it. Seeing that it is the 21st century and we go to school in an incredibly ...
To be very straightforward, we decided to do capoeira this week because we wanted to learn how to beat people up. As trendy girls living in a downtown world, it seemed like a necessary life skill — or at least Maddie’s worrisome mom made it seem that way. **insert sweet, southern, high-pitched ...
Before we jump into this week’s NARP activity, we just wanted to use this column as a platform to get a date. We still have not seen 50 Shades of Grey, and after the teen who buttered our popcorn for the Spongebob movie thought we were dating, we decided we should branch out and bring new people (boys). ...
For most Middlebury students, Winter Carnival means having an extra day to procrastinate on homework and to party in fun locations at new times like on a mountaintop at 11 a.m. However, for Maddie and Izzy, it means one thing and one thing only — the College’s annual Ice Show spectacular!

What would have been our last week of training was instead spent recovering in bed and wallowing in Adam Levine’s new hair color. Reminders of the upcoming race proved to be overwhelming throughout the week. A walk into town meant passing a screaming neon sign announcing road closures on Sunday, May ...
Although we wanted to start our last week of training with more energy than ever, the universe once and for all, proved its wish to sabotage its two favorite NARP first-years. Izzy dealt with a recurring foot pain that left her walking like a teetering pregnant woman — swollen feet and cankles included ...
Although we pushed ourselves to adopt the “early-riser” mentality that other active students all share, our attempt to cut the ties to our beds in the mornings failed. We may not have made the cut for this exclusive group of kids who wake with the sun, but we have decided to make our own clique: ...
As we walked into the dining hall for our seasoned potato cubes on Saturday morning, the student body was shockingly hyper, reminiscent of Charlie Sheen on tiger’s blood (#winning).
