With the beginning of Week 5 of spring term already upon us comes an outline of my schedule for the term. From trying new activities to settling into courses and club positions, this is what I've been up to during my most beloved term!

With a solar eclipse sweeping across North America for the first time in nearly seven years on April 8th came a road-trip with hundreds of other Dartmouth students to a zone of totality near campus: St. Johnsbury, Vermont!

This term was defined by its learning experiences and personal firsts, from snowsports to winter traditions. As I wait to board my flight back home for spring break, I reflect on the most memorable parts that made this term one of my favorites.

With the start of winter term comes the beginning of winter sport season! Between academic courses and clubs, one class served as both a helpful learning experience and a fun winter activity where I could destress and unwind: Ice Skating!

Each winter, a celebration of the Upper Valley's beauty is hosted on Dartmouth's campus: Winter Carnival! In honor of its 114th year in existence, I wanted to document its kick-off and the variety of activities students can participate in during it!

When I first applied to college, one of my most important factors was the food source. There are many dining areas scattered throughout campus. Today, I invite you to join me at a few as I show you all what I eat in a day as a Dartmouth student!

My schedule for this winter is jam-packed full of classes and extracurriculars, and instead of taking the typical three courses this term, I'm taking four! So, what exactly am I keeping myself busy with this term?

Hello, People Places Pines readers! After a refreshing break, I wanted to reflect on everything that I did in the six weeks I was away from classes, and the techniques I adopted to revitalize myself before a busy four-course term.

As I settle into the comfort of my hometown, I reminisce on a day-trip to Boston I took this fall term with a few of my friends! With Dartmouth being a simple bus ride away from several major east coast cities, this is possible AND affordable!

What an incredible term! From out-of-state travel to campus traditions, this fall term has been non-stop fun, and as I settle into my couch at home for winter break, I reflect on what made the last two and a half months as memorable as they were.
