Given Dartmouth’s long history, the number of traditions that students participate in should not be shocking. However, that does not mean I was prepared for all the fun and crazy ahead of me coming into Dartmouth.

I knew I wanted to go to medical school early on, so when I was looking at potential colleges, the ability for undergraduates to become involved with research was high on my list of requirements. 

This year, Brewhaha was also zero-waste, so everyone brought their own mug as a way to reduce waste and encourage environmental awareness.

My house community organized a canoeing event. They rented out canoes from the Ledyard Canoe Club from 2-4 pm, allowing us to canoe for free , so for the second time that weekend, I made the trip to the river,

It was the spring that allowed me to really appreciate what’s unique about Dartmouth and experience those things with my friends.

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.
