Favorite Class: ENGL 80- Writing and Reading FictionImagine what Shonda Rhimes/any fiction writer does and that’s what I’m learning how to do. I write my own stories and develop them, bettering my descriptive and writing skills. For my final projects, I submitted two short stories which I crafted. At first, it was challenging because I had no idea what I would write about, but enjoyed the creative process.

Favorite Class: AAAS 56- The African Political NovelIn this course, we examine the relationship between politics and the novel in order to understand how novels have affected Africa. The course employs a comparative method of looking at the novels, employing other fields of study as a method of study. The readings were incredibly interesting and complex as we tried to unpack the politics of Africa through novels.
I'm traveling.. No one is at Dartmouth!!
Upon coming to Dartmouth, you'll quickly realize that we do a lot of traveling. Whether you go on a FSP (Foreign Study Program) or LSA (Language Study Abroad), or you go traveling with your friends, we move around a lot.

An odd yet totally cool intro post
Most first blogs start out by telling you the writer's name, where they're from and some interesting thing about them.
