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
It's that time of year! When the weather gets cold and the snow starts to fall, Dartmouth's annual Winter Carnival commences!
So at Dartmouth, every term has its own "big weekend." Fall Term has Homecoming, Spring Term has Green Key, and Winter Term has Winter Carnival. And since I was itching to participate in the Carnival's events, I joined a couple of friends and participated in various activities on Campus.
On Saturday, I went with my friend Peter to Occom Pond for the various activities happening. There were ice forts, snow slops for people to slide down, and a couple of different ice sculptures! However, one of my favorite things was the "Sugar on Snow." The workers took warm maple syrup and poured it over snow in order to make a snow cone-esque treat. It was my first time having anything like that, and I gotta say, it was tasty!
Just Give Me a Flannel and Call me A New Englander!
After replenishing our energy, we walked over to the ice sculptures and looked at the finished products of talent. I was really impressed to see the amount of detail and work put into the different sculptures. There were dragons, sea creatures, Yetis, and even Baby Yoda! It got me wondering for next year if I should try to participate in my first ice sculpting competition.
Icy!
We ended the festivities with a good old-fashioned Chili contest, hosted by Phi Delta Alpha. For just five dollars, I got to taste a variety of different chilis and see which one was my favorite. It was something that reminds me of back home, and it was nice to participate with a couple of friends!
Just Having Chili on a Chilly Day(But not in Chile)
My first Winter Carnival was a success. I was worried that, with my schedule, I wouldn't be able to participate in the Carnival. Thankfully, I was able to go to a couple of events and have a fun experience in the winter of New England!
On Monday, April 8, 2024, a phenomenal total solar eclipse occurred — and we happened to be within the path of totality. As a result, Dartmouth hosted a variety of eclipse-related events on- and off-campus. Find out how I spent the eclipse!
