This past Wednesday was my official last day of classes for freshman year. Spring term has passed in the blink of an eye, and now I only have a few days left here before I head home for the summer.

The very first time I stepped into Sherman Art Library was twenty weeks into my time here at Dartmouth.

I love music just as much (and maybe even more) than the next person, but I must admit, I’m not as hip about the top 50 or the popular songs kids listen to these days.

As someone interested in medicine, I believed that it was important for me to learn about the inequities in our healthcare system. I didn’t expect to find a community of peers and professionals who would inspire and motivate me. 

Lou’s Restaurant & Bakery, affectionally known as Lou’s, serves breakfast, lunch, and dessert. But if you ask most people, myself included, they will tell you that Lou’s is the perfect spot for brunch. 

Recently, my friends and I decided to take on an unusual challenge: baking cookies in college. Armed with nothing more than a few borrowed baking pans, we set out the day beforehand with the task of finding ingredients.

To all the high school seniors out there, I have a message for you: cherish this coming summer, as it will be one of the most relaxing times of your life. Travel, lounge around the house, and watch an exorbitant amount of TV.

On a typical Saturday, I find myself cozied up in the library, working through homework assignments with friends -- but this Saturday was not a typical one. I signed up to go on a day trip to Boston with North Park, my community house.

Congratulations to all of the Dartmouth ‘22s! It's weird to think that just a year ago, I was in your shoes.

This term, I’m taking a class called Biology 13, Gene Expression and Inheritance. It integrates a flipped classroom structure, which means that we learn most of the material through online videos the night before class.
