As I saw alumni come back with their families and reunite with their classes, I felt the sense that I belonged to something bigger. Amidst all my new experiences, Dartmouth gave me something old, too: a breakfast with some very familiar faces.
It's October, which means I have officially wrapped up my first month in college! Looking back, here are some reasons why I have enjoyed my time here so far, and why I decided to come here in the first place.
As we walked around the city, introducing ourselves and talking about our lives, I began to feel more and more comfortable with the strangers I had just met.
My First-Year Trip was a wonderful experience that gave me some close friends and some great memories. I can go on and on about going electrofishing, bonding through pranks, or taking a freezing dip in the river.
Applying to college was one of the hardest things I've had to do. I wasn't sure how to fill out the Common App, didn't know how to file FAFSA, or quite frankly do anything it took to apply to college.
