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

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!
SpringOn-Campus
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 cannot believe that it is 2022 already. The past two years with the pandemic have made time seem like it doesn't exist anymore, and that has definitely had its pros and cons. However, I am looking forward to this year, and all that it will bring.
Me, cautiously optimistic, ringing in the New Year
In a couple of days, the winter term will be starting up. And interestingly enough, at the last minute, I decided to take classes instead of being on an off term. So instead of doing an internship or research, I will be back on campus! Because I am still outside of the US since my study abroad ended, I will be arriving on campus a little late, however. Even so, I am really looking forward to being back at Dartmouth since it has been so long. I have to admit, I am a little concerned about Omicron, but given that by the end of January, pretty much everyone on campus will have their booster shots, I feel like I can breathe a sigh of relief.
During the Winterim, I have been visiting my mom's side of the family in Panama!
This year, I will also be looking for internships for the summer. It is crazy that I am now thinking about my time after Dartmouth. It feels like just yesterday I was going to my freshman dorm in the River cluster, excited to start my first Fall term, then as a government major (my my, have the times changed).
I know that 2022 is going to be interesting. From ending my junior year, starting my final one, (hopefully) seeing the end to the pandemic, and narrowing down career aspects, it will be hectic. Nevertheless, I am going to make sure that I cherish every single day of my time at Dartmouth, from the good days to the bad. This place is special, and I am glad I have more time before I leave the College on the Hill. Let's go 2022!
Growing up in New England and transitioning to living at Dartmouth, I'm all too familiar with the unpredictability (and beauty) of New England's weather. Let me tell you about it here!
Bonjour! It has been a while since you've heard from me, but I was indeed on a Language Study Abroad (LSA) program in southern France (Toulouse) for the winter term. Here are my reflections on being back!
However, as I conclude my junior winter and prepare for my last few terms at Dartmouth, I've realized that this has been one of my most fulfilling and gratifying terms at Dartmouth.
