Hi guys! The name's Tulio (yes, like the guy from Rio) Huggins, and I am a '23! I am from the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, where I have lived for the past couple of years. I am double majoring in History and English with a concentration in Creative Writing. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends at Dartmouth Apologia, my fraternity, and in Aquinas House! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I hope that you all have a blessed day!

History & English with Concentration in Creative Writing
Favorite Thing Right Now
Hanging out with my fraternity brothers and hanging out in Aquinas House!
This history class is dedicated to investigating the history behind current events. In this term, we looked at the history behind immigration, Silicon Valley, and affirmative action. And in the final weeks of the term, we were able to choose what we wanted to learn about, and we chose to look at the history of impeachment. It is a very cool class with great class discussions. I would highly recommend!
COSC 1 is an intro to Computer Science course. I had never taken a CS course, so learning the new Python language was definitely tough! Even so, I learned so much about how to code, and the help provided by TAs and the professors is invaluable in this course!
This was the first class I ever took in the African and African American Studies and Religion Department. It opened my eyes to the various ways African Americans in the Jim Crow era survived when the world was stacked up against them. I would highly recommend!
An interesting class where we focused on the spread of literature during this time period. Also one of my smallest classes; only five other classmates!
This class was a creative writing class, and it gave me a lot of insight into what I as an author should want my readers to do when they confront the piece. It was an amazing class, and it was so cool to be able to take it in London!
My desire to learn about religion and history was thoroughly fulfilled in this class, where we looked at the various Christian conversions in different European areas. I learned a lot, and I really loved the prof's lectures!

I'm not taking any classes this term! Instead, I am doing a fellowship through the Leslie Center for Humanities, where I am writing an interconnected short story collection set in an evangelical church youth group.
This was my senior seminar for my history class, and we learned about the many Native American treaties that occurred for the centuries of US-Indigenous interaction
I truly cannot believe that I am a senior already. Blogging for People Places and Pines has been a consistent part of my Dartmouth experience; a sort of journal of my time at this place. I remember going into McNutt Hall, the admissions building, in 2019 and taking my blogger picture--which shows a very younger me!
This year is going to have a lot of lasts. I will experience my last homecoming as a student, my last winter carnival, my last Green key, etc. However, there will also be a lot of firsts as well. I will get to be on campus for my first fall rush, experience a senior thesis (hopefully!), and have countless encounters with the new freshman, who I am so excited to meet more.
Had to get some Lou's before school!
This fall term, I feel as if I have already hit the ground running. I am taking an English course on literature up until the 17th century, a History class on the global history of human rights, and a creative writing course. Each of them are related to my major, and all of the professors seem really cool! I'm excited to learn more about each subject as the term goes on.
Since I was not on campus in the summer, I am also seeing a lot of my friends for the first time in a while. There have been so many reunions, and I am excited to strengthen these friendships this term.
Hopefully this year will provide more toads to find, like this one on trips!
Like I said before, I am excited for rush to happen. Last year, I was abroad in London for the fall, so I wasn't as active in the process as I would have liked to have been. So this year, I want to go all in. Today, all the fraternities held barbeques for those interested in rushing, and it was great to meet so many new people and get to know some of my future brothers.
This term and subsequent year are both going to be very memorable. I want to make the most of my classes, my clubs, and my friendships before I move on to the next chapter of my life. So let's go!
Most students have to go back to college after Thanksgiving to take their finals, but not at Dartmouth! We have a six-week winter break, known as "winterim!" Let me tell you how I spent my winterim!
As a second-year at Dartmouth, I've embraced leadership roles that foster community, creativity, and support! Here's a look at how each role has shaped my journey.
