Just Another Manic Monday

Cindy's D-Plan

- FallOn Campus | Hanover, NH
  Favorite Class: The Price System - Econ 01 (Prof. Zarnowski)
  I unwittingly took three "01s" (intro courses) my Freshman fall. While it was a challenging term, Econ 01 stood out as the most engaging despite its difficult exams and the course inspired me to pursue a major in economics.
- WinterOn Campus | Hanover, NH
  Favorite Class: The Supreme Court (Prof. Kalish)
  (I also loved my Public Speaking class with Prof. Compton) All freshmen take Writing 5 and choose a section based on what their interests are. I took The Supreme Court with Prof. Kalish, who was a fun, insightful, and knowledgable professor who genuinely cared about all of her students. I would definitely recommend this section to any rising freshmen.
- SpringOn Campus | Hanover, NH
  Favorite Class: Macroeconomics - Econ 22 (Prof. Comin)
  Most core major classes have a reputation for being difficult. While the material was hard at times, Prof. Comin led a case-based course that helped us understand the real-world applications of what we were learning. He's also a super cool guy to chat with, and he's done fascinating research.
- SummerOn Campus | Hanover, NH
  Favorite Class: Intro to Drawing - SART 15
  Most freshmen won't be on this summer, but I'm scheduling my D-Plan around my internship during winter term. I'm super excited to meet more '20s! (because all '20s will be on campus for their sophomore summer) This summer, I'm taking microeconomics, physics, and drawing. Stay tuned for more details on my summer experience at the end of the summer! :)

Climbing out of bed on a Monday morning is bad enough. Remembering that growing pile of problem sets you neglected to do over the weekend is worse (yes, academic rigor is real). But it's a typical Monday, and I'm currently completing those aforementioned problem sets as I write this.

But as a note to myself, I should be more positive. It's May (finally)! The Green is actually green, strawberries are in season, and basically, campus is #thriving.

So even though it's a Monday, I actually had a great day. Here's what I did:

No. 1
Pet Campus Doggos

There's nothing better than greeting doggos on campus! Residents love to bring their dogs to campus because they get lots of attention from students like me. This beautiful boy was playing frisbee on the Green when I met him.
No. 2
Said Unplanned Hellos!

I ran into my friend Hayley on the way back to the River (our lovely, albeit faraway, home). Because Dartmouth is a small, tightknit community, you'll run into friends all the time!
No. 3
Scaled a Wall

I've passed Dartmouth's climbing gym almost every day this year without even knowing it existed. One of my friends goes there all the time and took me with her at the beginning of this term; she now takes me with her at least once a week. It's free your fall term, btw!
No. 4
Ate Delicious Food

*Insert heart eyes emoji here* Just look at that salmon.

Food explorations with friends is probably one of my favorite pasttimes.
No. 5
Took a Walk

It's PRIDE at Dartmouth! That means that Dartmouth Hall is decked out in the colors of the rainbow to honor the celebrations. Campus is also extra festive!
No. 6
Looked Up

Studying for midterms and cranking out problem sets may not always be fun, but Dartmouth's libraries are so aesthetic you sometimes feel like you're learning magic at Hogwarts. Among my favorite study spots: the Rauner Special Collections Library (pictured)
