My freshman year is coming to an end, and I've taken a handful of STEM courses here to speak about my experience so far––it has been quite an interesting ride!

My freshman year is coming to an end, and I've taken a handful of STEM courses here to speak about my experience so far––it has been quite an interesting ride!
This term, I am taking BIOL 12: Cell Structure and Function as well as CHEM 6: General Chemistry II, and both classes have a laboratory component.
Spring term is beginning, and I'd like to provide a quick overview of the classes I'm taking this term.
When you imagine spring break, images of crowded beaches in sunny Florida probably come to mind. However, after being away for ten weeks, I wanted a chance to come home to be with my family. So I spent two wonderful weeks in Georgia.
I've been contemplating, for all of fall term, what extracurricular activity I feel passionate about—what activity I'd want to dedicate significant amounts of time towards. My conclusion was science research!
We're already at the start of week 8, which is crazy to even think about.
I applied to Dartmouth as a biology major what feels like ages ago, but I had no idea what it would be like.
In case you didn't know, Dartmouth operates on a quarter system, which means that in each term, students typically take three classes. However, they can also elect to add an additional course!
As a freshman who just went through the process of choosing my first classes for my intended biology major, I thought I'd walk you through the options for your first term and what I'm planning on doing for the rest of the year.
