Spring. Sprang. Sprung!
After a winter away missing everything from classes to friends to Hanover itself, I love every aspect of campus just a little bit more. That's why this spring holds a special place in my heart.
Here are the highlights:
- No. 1
Studying under the sun
- No. 2
Eating gelato
- No. 3
... lots of gelato
I think I'm addicted, honestly.
- No. 4
Lively birthday celebrations
Birthdays on campus are the best birthdays because you get to celebrate with all of your friends!
- No. 5
My roommate
I've loved every roommate I've ever had at Dartmouth. This term's no different! I love having a roommate because it means that there's always someone there for me. Besides, who else are you going to share all the highlights of the day with? Double life > single life. (I would know; I had a single all of freshman year.)
- No. 6
Fencing nationals
The fencing team traveled to Pennsylvania to compete at Collegiate Nationals this year. Although I was running a high fever, I had lots of fun bonding with (and contaminating) my teammates and even took home the gold in women's foil.
- No. 7
Answering all of your questions
- No. 8
Learning to write decent geography papers
My geography class is hard. I've learned a lot though, and I feel like I've gotten much better at writing!
- No. 9
Running Dartmouth's annual debate tournament
It might've been 70 degrees out and sunny, but directing great debate in an underground auditorium was worth it... right??!
- No. 10
When my parents visited!!!
Since I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah, my parents can't just hop in the car and see me. This spring, they made the trek to campus! I got to spend a rare weekend hanging out with my two favorite people.
- No. 11
Photoshopping my friend all over this photo
One of my closest friends, Sarah, couldn't make it to her own event. The solution? I photoshopped her in! She's in this photo five times. Can you spot all the Sarahs (and endorse my photoshop skills)?
- No. 12
Getting pie all over my face
My friend nominated me to compete in a "Minute to Win It" event for charity. As part of that event, I ran across a lawn with an egg in my mouth, scarfed down a donut on a string, and stuck my face in a pie.
- No. 13
Running around campus
We stan a good run.
- No. 14
Cuddling baby chickens
Each spring, Dartmouth hosts a cuddling session with many local baby animals for midterms stress relief. I met this baby chicken and simply adored him.
- No. 15
Meeting public figures
So many public figures visited campus this term. I've been trying my best to keep up.
- No. 16
IC4U with the fencing team
In the spring, the fencing team gets IC4U (Ice Cream Fore-You) together to celebrate the warm weather!
- No. 17
Socializing!
- No. 18
... lots and lots ...
- No. 19
... of socializing!
Basically, everyone's back on campus in the spring. That means you get to see friends you haven't seen in almost a year. Naturally, that means that spring is a very social term.
- No. 20
Pretty sunsets

Over the past few days, the campus had been buzzing about Winter Carnival. I even watched a Loch Ness Snow Monster come to life. You know, typical Dartmouth for you.

A place that I have wanted to explore for forever is Quechee Gorge in Quechee State Park. For my friend's birthday over the summer, we planned an adventure of a day with brunch, a trip to Quechee, and dinner at her favorite restaurant.

Now, I did my online research before coming here, but even then I am easily overwhelmed by the sheer number of weird, quirky, but undeniably fun traditions Dartmouth has to offer.

As a southerner, my biggest concern about Dartmouth was how I was going to cope with the cold. Luckily, I have a lot of friends that are also excited to embrace the snow with me, so I wanted to share how we've been enjoying winter term so far!

I've taken to sitting and watching, treating myself to the slowness of green tea and silence of an uninterrupted morning. But that's one of the best things about college—it offers ample moments for reflection.
