About 

Hey there! My name is Pau and I am a '25 from Nicaragua! At Dartmouth, I am a Government major modified with Economics and I also plan to minor in International Studies. A little more about me is that I have an undying passion for eating fruit, watching sunrises/sunsets, petting dogs, and finding myself in warm, cozy places. Feel free to ask me any questions on anything and everything that piques your interest about Dartmouth! I love to share :) Go Big Green!

Paulina's D-Plan

What's a D-Plan?

    • FallOn Campus

      Favorite Class: Religion 001: What Matters

      In this class we pondered essential questions centered around human existence. To tackle "What Matters" we took a quest throughout time exploring different events throughout our collective history that have de-centered us in space and time and made us question how we derive meaning and purpose in our lives.

    • WinterOn Campus

      Favorite Class: Geography 21.01: Global Health and Society

      This class was led by Lisa Adams, MD, and Dr. John Butterly, MD, who are both AMAZING. This class discussed several health issues such as diseases, malnourishment, and improper sanitation that still plagues the world today and various solutions that can be undertaken to increase the overall health and wellbeing of the world's population.

    • SpringHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: ECON 001: The Price System

      A hallmark of the Dartmouth education, ECON 1 "The Price System" is offered during every term at Dartmouth except the summer. Whether or not students want to major in economics, many decide to make the first plunge into the world of supply and demand through this introductory course. ECON 1 was a memorable part of my Freshman Spring as I became engrossed into the economics department through the teachings of Professor Diego Ramos-Toro. This class helped me and other students alike gain an understanding of economic policy and concepts that I continue to be useful today. ECON 1 is a profoundly helpful course that would be beneficial to all students regardless of their academic interests.

    • FallHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: ECON 24: Development Economics

      Development Economics is a course that focuses on using statistical methodologies to understand a fundamental question what makes some countries rich and others poor? And what can we do about it?

    • WinterHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: INTS 15: Violence and Security

      Violence and Security is a class offered through the International Studies Department that seeks to understand the underlying causes of human conflict. To answer this question, the class takes on a multidisciplinary approach and draws from the fields of biology, anthropology, economics, and political science. I loved the way in which the class sought to “illuminate the news” through our discussions and also created a vivid space for us to actively question human behavior and the implications of governmental policy towards security.

    • SpringHanover, New Hampshire

      Favorite Class: GOV 5: Introduction International Politics

      Government 5 is one of Dartmouth’s most popular courses. In it, students get a taste for subjects in the international realm by thinking critically about the multiple facets of international politics including questions of conflict and security, global economics and trade, climate change, as well as allegiances and cooperation. I loved the way in which Professor Daryl Press was able to expertly weave current events into the class in order to make students gain a deeper understanding of the topics at hand.

A Monday in the Life

A perfect Monday at Dartmouth! Spring edition!!

  1. No. 1

    Breakfast and Office Hours 8:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.

    Reading outside of the Steel chemistry building while waiting for my professor

    I love getting an early start to the day, especially in the spring as I can enjoy the beautiful morning glow that has overtaken all of Hanover. Today, I was at FoCo (Dartmouth speak for Food Court) by 8:00 a.m. to grab a meal with a friend. At 8:45 we were done and I headed over to the Steel building to have office hours with my professor. Given the beautiful spring day, the office hours were outside! During this time, we spoke about an upcoming class project and overarching goals and expectations for the class. 

  2. No. 2

    Class 10:10 a.m. - 11:15 a.m.

    Hallway on my way to class

    After my office hours, I headed out to my 10:10 class, Introduction to International Development. During class we discussed the pros and cons of microcredit directed towards women as a development initiative. 

  3. No. 3

    Still North 11:20 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

    Still North bookstore!

    After class I went to Still North, which is a bookstore in Hanover started by a Dartmouth alum from the Class of 2011. I bought a book my friend recommended to me and read it for a little while at the store before my lunch plans.

  4. No. 4

    Lunch on the Green 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.

    After finishing our food!

    For lunch we had some Collis stir fry (unfortunately not pictured) which was absolutely delicious! We decided to enjoy the day and sit on the Green. By now it was incredibly hot so we sat in the shade and I reveled in amazing conversation and weather that reminded me of back home. 

  5. No. 5

    Studying 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.

    Studying at Irving

    After lunch, I went over to the new Arthur L. Irving Institute to study with some friends. This is a brand new building devoted to the study of Energy and Society and is a gorgeous place to study. It also has a wonderful café with pretty tasty options. 

     

  6. No. 6

    Swimming at the River! 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.

    Walking towards the river!

    After studying for a little while and working on my economics problem set, we grabbed our stuff and headed out to the river for a swim! The water was still very cold but it was so thrilling to jump in! 

     

  7. No. 7

    Dinner on the Green 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

    Sunsets, friends, and food on the green :)

    After jumping into the river, I went back to my dorm to shower and change. Nothing better to conclude this perfect day with some more food from Collis where I got sushi. As always, Collis Sushi is really good! My friends got pasta and we all enjoyed the end of the day as we sat in the center of campus.
