Catching dragonflies at the Organic Farm during my Agroecology lab, plunging feet first into the Connecticut River after class, and exploring the Upper Valley by electric scooter… all in one day! Welcome to Sophomore Summer.
I thought I'd use this blog post to share a bit more about Dartmouth's profound sense of place my first in-person (non-Zoom) term— particularly, the people, the place, and the pines.
Like the college application process itself, I thought starting college in person would be equally as vague and difficult to navigate; however, Dartmouth was there for me in ways that I will forever be grateful for.
These past two weeks have been particularly revealing and nostalgic for me as I've come to realize the immense sense of pride, belonging, and community I feel at Dartmouth.
In the weekend after Indigenous Peoples' Day, I was able to join Hōkūpaʻa (Dartmouth's resident Hawaiian Club!) in the preparation of a traditional Hawaiian pig roast for the community Harvest Dinner.
Now that fall is here to stay, I want to share a weekend from sophomore summer featuring X-Fest and Farmaroo (which are not as crazy as they may seem).
