About 

Hi hi hi! My name is Autumn and I'm a dreamy writer from Vietnam! Besides my huge (and obvious) passion for writing, I also like reading and cooking (I only cook Asian food though). I love cultures and traditions, so I'm really into majoring in Asian Studies, but I'm also having other options in mind like Media Studies or Econ (I know, who can resist the money-printing major?) And I don't know how to end this bio without sounding awkward so (I guess?) stay put for more posts from me!

Autumn's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: JAPN 1 - First Year Japanese

      I just love my professor and my classmates! (I had to wake up at 7:15 everyday to go to drill, but it was totally worth it) We were so close that we had breakfast together every morning, and called ourselves the Brekky Club!

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: FILM 33 - Screenwriting 1

      I've always loved writing scripts and seeing my writing being materialized into several scenes, so I thought this class would be perfect. Also, I'd love to take up some challenges in my second term at Dartmouth!

      Favorite Class: JAPN 10 - Intro to Japanese Culture

      Japanese literature really is my passion, and in professor Dorsey's class, I got to read many Japanese masterpieces along the history of the Sakura country. Also, professor Dorsey is AMAZING - he is just like our friend!

    • FallTokyo, Japan

      Favorite Class: Japanese LSA+

      I had the time of my life during the LSA+ in Tokyo. I learned interesting things about Japanese culture, made close Japanese friends, and improved my Japanese a lot!!

      Favorite Class: ECON 21: Microeconomics

      I like the maths - they explain the "common sense" I referred to a lot in ECON 1 in a much more logical way. The professor is great; her instructions are easy to understand, and she always eagers to help us understand the lectures better.

      Favorite Class: TUCK 01: Financial Accounting

      This course is super helpful if you're planning to go into finance or consulting. Taking this course has helped me so much in preparing for an interview for my junior summer internship!

What do first years do on their first weekend here?

I wasn't sure how I would spend my weekends when I got to Dartmouth, but it was busy right away! Here are a couple things I've done so far:

  1. No. 1

    Go stargazing at the Golf Course

    It was a spur of the moment, when I and my friends were walking back to a friend’s dorm and I suddenly said that I wanted to go stargaze. And we just did it! It was cold and the grass was wet and I only had a summer dress on me but everything was wonderful! We lied down on the grass and listened to old cheesy music and looked at the sky full of stars. Growing up in a city, I’d never seen the sky that beautiful. I saw four shooting stars that night, but I didn’t make any wish – lying under that sky made me feel like I didn’t need anything else. The stars and the sky that night made me feel fortunate that I chose Dartmouth.

  2. No. 2

    Hang out at Collis

    Autumn with friends outside Collis

    Collis, our student center, has everything: free drinks, wild music, dancing, pool tables, foosball, video games, and a good sofa to chill with friends! Last week a friend taught me how to play pool and though I was still very bad I enjoyed it a lot! Collis is also a great place to meet new people and make new friends! And whenever I feel tired of people (I’m actually quite introvert) I can always escape to the super cozy One Wheelock room with a friend and enjoy nice free coffee~

  3. No. 3

    Do the Lou’s challenge

    The Lou’s Challenge is to basically stay up all night and get to Lou’s, a popular restaurant downtown, in time for breakfast and then go to class. I know that this challenge is quite pointless and it messes up your schedule but it’s college and you worked hard for all week so why not?? I did the challenge last week, and I was one of the three people who didn’t cheat! We watched movies, had late pizza, played cards, or simply just talked about everything. And Lou’s pancake was totally worth the challenge!

  4. No. 4

    Go to Starbucks with a friend on a chilly night

    Coming from Hanoi, I really miss the cozy atmosphere of great music and hot cappuccino inside a café on a winter night. Therefore, the small Starbucks on the corner of Main St. and Lebanon St. makes me feel like I’m back home. I went there with my friend last night, and we had a great time.

  5. No. 5

    Go to the moveis

    Right across from Starbucks is Nugget Theater, the small town’s cozy theater that shows the latest movies! And the best thing about Nugget is that it’s full of Dartmouth vibes! We were watching Kingsman The Golden Circle at Nugget (awesome movie!), and everyone laughed when they knew the devil of the movie was from Harvard!
