The adventures of a South Asian girl, approximately 13,718km away from home, shivering in weather that apparently "isn't that cold" and navigating college as a first-generation student! Welcome to the story of my life at Dartmouth.
Midnight, August 30. After 10 hours 40 minutes on the plane, 2 hours waiting at the Boston Logan Airport, and 3 hours in the Dartmouth Coach, I finally set foot on campus.
I am back! For a traditional college, Dartmouth is a little bit ~untraditional~ this year. One year later, our sophomore class was able to experience matriculation and the Twilight Ceremony. Read all about it!
Would I like my roommate? Would I fit in on campus? Would I make friends? These questions swirled in my mind as move-in day crept closer and closer. Thankfully, all of these worries were quickly assuaged once I settled into college life.
