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.

West-Lebanon Adventures

West Lebanon is only 15 minutes away from New Hampshire and is always a fun and accessible get-away.  Here's some of the things I have done over the past two weeks!

  1. No. 1

    Italian food is always a good idea

    Dinner at Three Tomatoes

    They say that life is all about exploring all the pasta-bilities. Going for an out-of-Hanover dining escapade is one of my favorite things to do with my friends. Last Wednesday after class, two of my friends and I rented a Zipcar to go to Lebanon.  We first had dinner at an Italian restaurant called The Three Tomatoes. The food (and vibes) were spectacular. I would totally recommend. 

     

  2. No. 2

    Pit-stop at Target

    Me happily walking through the Target aisles

    After dinner, we made a Target run. This Target is 15 minutes away from campus and has everything you could need. One day you are young, and the next you really enjoy browsing through all the detergents in the supermarket. I unfortunately am becoming one of those people who cannot go to Target without meandering through every single aisle and looking at every item –despite the fact she’s not planning to buy anything. One of my friends was planning a dinner with her roommates so she needed to get all of the ingredients for the meal. 

     

  3. No. 3

    I scream for ice cream

    Getting ice cream!

    Ice Cream Fore-U is an awesome ice cream shop in Lebanon. They have amazing ice cream, in fun flavors. I’ve also heard that their hot-dogs are really good.  IC4U is a really popularly delicious destination amongst Dartmouth students. They are only open in the warmer months and have a season of spring to fall. This photo was the last night that they were open for the season! I tried the pistachio ice cream which was really really yummy.
