Arriving on campus as a sophomore, I felt comfort in knowing I made it back to my second home. It may sound a tiny bit exaggerated, but there's something magical about the campus at 9 p.m. on a Thursday night.

As a student here, I know that there are resources readily available for me, and that's why my experience in classes has been wonderful so far. I know that I will be supported well throughout my experience here.

Now, as I'm wrapping up the last days of my freshman year in college (UNBELIEVABLE), I want to share some things that I learned throughout my first year here as well. 

Despite the vast ocean that separates me and my dream school, I applied to Dartmouth College as an international student from Bangkok, Thailand in the early decision round. This wasn't just a leap of faith, I assure you.

Things I wish I knew before moving in :)

A list of my fav foods in Hanover :)

Mimmo Cuticchio shared his perspective on living with more than 1,200 puppets as a master puppeteer. The best thing, however, is he said that we were the first and only people to see his version of La Storia Del Soldato!

My third Thursday of the term started at 9.15 A.M. per usual, except it was a warm, beautiful day outside. In fact, this was probably the first time the temperature reached 27 degrees Celsius (80 Fahrenheit) in months!

The title of our research project is 'DALI Lab Mobile App Design and Development.' The coolest part of this research experience is the freedom to create any mobile application we want!

I COMPLETED THE LOU'S CHALLENGE!
