Chase's D-Plan
What's a D-Plan?-
FallHanover, NH
Favorite Class: Marine PolicyAs someone who did not know the ins and outs of marine policy, I loved learning about aspects of the blue economy. This class encourages us to be aware of the human aspect of marine problems regarding coastal erosion, pollution, and climate change. Professor Webster is the coolest!
WinterHanover, NH
Favorite Class: From Beethoven to Now (Modern Classical Music)I could not recommend this class enough to anyone who goes to this school! Professor Beaudoin has truly influenced me as both a musician and a student. We learn the music from the 1800's to present day including famous composers like Tchaikovsky, but also music by Beyonce and even the music of Dartmouth's professors. This is much more than a music history class. It is a class about music, our lives, and exploring the concept of sonder through musical lens.

A Weekend of Firsts
It's winter everyone! Although I definitely have enjoyed my time inside drinking hot chocolate and tea, I finally set much time aside this weekend to have fun outdoors!

It's Cold Outside!
Before coming back to Hanover for the winter term, I definitely was taking my warm, southern days for granted.

From Winterim to Winter Term
After my six weeks back in South Carolina for Winterim, it was finally time to come back to my new home, Dartmouth.
Five Favorites of F21
Wow! The first term has finally come to an end! Below are some of my favorite experiences of my Freshman Fall.
- No. 1
Meeting Friends
My first core experience was meeting many amazing people. As someone who has lived in one town my entire life, it has been amazing to meet so many people from all over the world. In addition, I have spent the last 10 weeks making cool, new friends. With Dartmouth being such a small campus, you can expect to leave your room and say hi to many people on your way to grab lunch or dinner.

The DCWE
Another great experience of mine is joining the DCWE! The wind ensemble has allowed me to meet so many other people who share the same love for music that I do. In addition, it has allowed me to meet some of my closest friends. We have done many events together and have gotten to know each other quite well over this term. It was amazing to have a concert indoors and in person after nearly two years. If you want to know more about the DCWE, check out my post about the DCWE in my profile
- No. 3
Fall Foliage
Aside from getting to know people, I have loved experiencing my first true foliage here in Hanover. Every day I have walked past beautiful trees of yellows, oranges, and reds. My camera roll is absolutely filled with pictures of the trees and landscapes around campus. On all my hikes, the views at the top have been amazing, and I plan on doing many hikes throughout the rest of my time here.

On Homesickness
As someone who has never been that far away from home in general, I definitely experienced some homesickness this last term.

Applying Regular Decision
When I was planning out my college admissions process, I did not truly know exactly what I was looking for. Simply, I never understood why people are so passionate about being a Dartmouth student.

Taking a Break: Winterim
We often find ourselves in times where we feel immensely stressed, exhausted, or simply tired of our banal tasks. Relax and go take a break because you deserve it!

My Why Dartmouth
Dear prospective students,
I remember when I had to write my "Why Dartmouth" essay. However, I am actually going to describe why I actually decided to commit to Dartmouth and how my why for Dartmouth has changed.

DCWE Adventures
After many weeks of rehearsals and social events, the Dartmouth College Wind Ensemble (DCWE for short) had finally conquered its first live indoor performance in many months. Yay!

The Festivities of Fridays
Although you may think Hanover is a small town in the woods with nothing to do, you would be quite surprised. It's a small town with a lot of opportunities. What will you choose to do?
