Dartmouth's 6-week winter break is strange to get used to at first, but it can be a wonderful time to relax and reflect. I'll be doing just that in this post, by remembering some notable moments from my four Dartmouth winterims.
With the glory of the super fast paced 10 week term, an environment full of limitless opportunities, and a community of go-getters, it can be hard to stop moving for a day, let alone 6 weeks.
You might be thinking, "6 weeks?! What am I supposed to do for 6 weeks?" I had the same reaction when I heard about Winterim. Maybe, if I tell you how I plan on spending the time, it'll convince you that 6 weeks isn't too long at all.
When I was trying to decide what to do with the eight week break I had from Dartmouth this winter, the first thing that came to my mind was to take a trip!
