Now that the winter is officially over, I have been finding a lot of joy in rediscovering Hanover's unique beauty under much sunlight. Spring has officially sprung!

Theatre has been present in my life for s long as I can remember. So here is a shoutout to the professors who made me feel at home on the stage!

At Dartmouth, we are lucky to live in an extremely scenic environment. Among all the fun activities one can find in and out of campus, my favourite has to be visiting the Montshire Museum of Science!

As some of you may have heard about, Dartmouth is known for its prominent party culture. As someone who particularly enjoys that aspect of college life, I was really excited to arrive to Hanover and start going out with my newly made friends. 

I can name you thousands of reasons why I decided to come to Dartmouth – from the natural landscape to the academic rigour, this is exactly the college I dreamt about as a high school student.

After a long conversation with some friends who come from similar – yet very different – backgrounds, I realised an important part of my experience at college has not been recorded here yet. That is being multicultural.

As I get ready for classes to start again this week, I cannot help but get nostalgic over the memories I created this spring break.

I have been at college for two terms now. Although it has been such a short time, I already feel like I have found my own routine and strategies to navigate the class schedule and all our assignments.

At Dartmouth, students have multiple options to choose from when talking about extracurriculars. This term I had the incredible opportunity to act as the main character for one of my friend's short-films!

After getting into Dartmouth, I remember getting anxious to choose classes, majors, minors, and all that. Here is my experience dealing with the time we have before arriving in Hanover!
