Hi all! Welcome to my blog! My name is Robin. I am a senior studying Economics and the Digital Arts. Outside of class I'm a guitarist, amateur rock climber, and seasoned billiard player–if you're on campus, there's a good chance you can find me at the Collis pool hall. I love Dartmouth and am sharing my journey through this blog. So if you're a prospie, parent, or Dartmouth enthusiast, you've come to the right place!
In this class, I'll be learning about stellar evolution, the origin of the elements, the deaths of stars, black holes, the structure of our Galaxy, other galaxies, dark matter, the expanding universe and the big bang.
In this class, we explore the issues of mark, line, scale, space, light and composition. I'm not naturally a great artist, but I love art and am taking this course to improve my skills.
This course studies the economic behavior of employers and employees as they interact in the labor market, covering topics such as human capital investment, the structure and determinants of financial compensation and benefits packages, contract negotiations and arbitration.
Painting I is an introductory class in oil painting techniques, painting language, and critical thinking. Major topics that will be covered include: basic color theory, color mixing, paint application, and color composition.
This course explores how the brain controls our motivation to pursue goals and how drugs of abuse hijack those systems, exploring in detail how narcotic drugs (opioids, stimulants, alcohol, cannabis) act in the brain and the mechanisms underlying the transition from drug use to addiction.
As summer comes to an end, Dartmouth is prepping to welcome the class of '24 to their first year on campus. So, one of the questions they and their families have in their mind is: what's the food like?
If you are curious about food at our dining halls, you can check out this awesome blog by May Oo Khine '23. But if you're curious about the food scene outside of campus, take a look below for my top 5 favorite restaurants in Hanover.
1. Lou's
At Lou's, you can find some of the best breakfast in town. Besides the classic selection of eggs, biscuits and sandwiches, Lou's has awesome pastries. Their bakery makes fresh muffins, donuts and scones, and can even make cakes to order—perfect for birthdays!
This restaurant is also famous for the Lou's Challenge—in which Dartmouth students stay up all night and eat breakfast at Lou's when it opens. '24s, you might think that sounds like a bad idea right now, but trust me, it's worth it.
2. Molly's
Molly's has been around longer than any restaurant in Hanover, and for good reason. It's the perfect place for lunch between classes—here you can find all kinds of sandwiches, tacos, soups, and salads.
3. Sushiya
If, like me, you can't go without sushi longer than a week, Sushiya is the place for you! They make their sushi with the freshest ingredients, and have great lunch specials (perfect for broke college students). Besides sushi, you can find great rice bowls, noodles, soup.
4. Pine
Being the fanciest restaurant in Hanover, Pine is the perfect place to celebrate any special occasion—birthdays, parent visits, anniversaries, anything! Their menu ranges from burgers to lobster rolls—there is something for everyone.
In addition to blogging, I work as a Fellow for the Tucker Center, which focuses on promoting spiritual and ethical life on campus. As part of this role, I'm leading the Interfaith Alternative Spring Break Trip. Read on to learn more about my work!
