Favorite Moments of 23Winter
Continuing on my post in the fall, I decided to share a few of my favorite photos from the term so far that offer a glimpse into student life, or at least one take on it!

Polar Plunge
Jumping into the (very) cold Occom Pond alongside my friends is one of my favorite moments thus far in winter term. We waited in line for about half an hour, but it was very much worth it. Watching our friends, who had already completed the plunge, walk up the ramp and warn us of the cold only heightened our excitement. The amount of support crew (EMS, firefighters, student volunteers, construction workers who built the entry and exit platforms) is a testament to how committed Dartmouth is to its students and traditions. Thank you guys!

Club Ski
As overwhelming as it is to enter a new school with almost 5,000 new faces, finding smaller communities on campus has provided me with security and belonging in more niche places. Club ski has been one of them—with biweekly practices, races, and tuning/waxing clinics, I have developed some really great friendships (especially with upperclass students) and a passion for racing, even after just starting this year. It's a very fun organization that is very beginner-friendly and open to many skill levels. Check out the photo above from our costume race this past weekend!

Friends
I've found that some of the best moments here are ones that are spontaneous and last-minute. Yesterday, on a Sunday night, after we'd finished our studying, we decided to go out to dinner in Woodstock (a town about 20 minutes from Dartmouth) to watch the Super Bowl and celebrate our friend's birthday. Doing little things like this and exploring the surrounding area provide a much-needed break from campus life.
