Hi guys! The name's Tulio (yes, like the guy from Rio) Huggins, and I am a '23! I am from the beautiful state of Pennsylvania, where I have lived for the past couple of years. I am double majoring in History and English with a concentration in Creative Writing. In my free time, I love to hang out with friends at Dartmouth Apologia, my fraternity, and in Aquinas House! Feel free to ask any questions you might have. I hope that you all have a blessed day!

This history class is dedicated to investigating the history behind current events. In this term, we looked at the history behind immigration, Silicon Valley, and affirmative action. And in the final weeks of the term, we were able to choose what we wanted to learn about, and we chose to look at the history of impeachment. It is a very cool class with great class discussions. I would highly recommend!
COSC 1 is an intro to Computer Science course. I had never taken a CS course, so learning the new Python language was definitely tough! Even so, I learned so much about how to code, and the help provided by TAs and the professors is invaluable in this course!
This was the first class I ever took in the African and African American Studies and Religion Department. It opened my eyes to the various ways African Americans in the Jim Crow era survived when the world was stacked up against them. I would highly recommend!
An interesting class where we focused on the spread of literature during this time period. Also one of my smallest classes; only five other classmates!
This class was a creative writing class, and it gave me a lot of insight into what I as an author should want my readers to do when they confront the piece. It was an amazing class, and it was so cool to be able to take it in London!
My desire to learn about religion and history was thoroughly fulfilled in this class, where we looked at the various Christian conversions in different European areas. I learned a lot, and I really loved the prof's lectures!

I'm not taking any classes this term! Instead, I am doing a fellowship through the Leslie Center for Humanities, where I am writing an interconnected short story collection set in an evangelical church youth group.
This was my senior seminar for my history class, and we learned about the many Native American treaties that occurred for the centuries of US-Indigenous interaction
I was not expecting to play hockey when I was in college. I hardly ice-skated as a kid, and most of the sports I played were either track & field, cross country, basketball, or soccer. However, this term I had a chance to play in the intermural hockey league. Anyone can create a team, and the team will play a couple of games to get to the championships. And even though I was only able to play one game, I had a blast and made so many fond memories!
The cold weather here makes College activities happen indoors!
The team I played with was with my fraternity brothers, and our first game was late on a Monday night. Our group gets to Thompson Arena, which is the ice rink Dartmouth has. Watching the other game before us, our team gets giddy with excitement. We have been waiting to play, and for some of us, it is our first game. However, we find out that our team will be playing against a team made up of mainly the field hockey team, a discovery that makes us realize this game will probably not end well for us. I am one of the first to suit up, and when I get to the rink, I almost immediately fall. However, I can get my bearings and can stand up and somewhat move around, but I feel like a child skating for the first time.
The puck drops soon afterward, and in the first minute, the other team scores their first goal. It doesn't look good. We continue to play, but as time goes on, the other team's score goes up, while our number of goals stays at zero.
It was the last game for some of our teammates!
However, throughout the entire game, our team is laughing and cheering on our teammates. We have fun, even though we eventually lose the game 8 to 0, and one of our teammates broke his collarbone (he is okay now!) We didn't make the championship game, but we all had a blast. And not only that, my ice skating skills got better, in which I could skate pretty quickly by the end of the game (though I still couldn't catch up to the other team, lol). I'm glad we were able to have a Dartmouth winter experience; it really made my term!
In addition to blogging, I work as a Fellow for the Tucker Center, which focuses on promoting spiritual and ethical life on campus. As part of this role, I'm leading the Interfaith Alternative Spring Break Trip. Read on to learn more about my work!
