Welcome to my page, I am a '27 from central New Hampshire! I came to Dartmouth for the liberal arts curriculum, so I plan to explore the academic disciplines before deciding what to focus on. I am currently looking at environmental science and religion. In addition to blogging, I work as an Interfaith Trip Fellow with the Tucker Center for Spiritual and Ethical Life. I enjoy mountain biking, running, skiing, singing, and drawing.
Academic Program
Intended: pre-health, anthropology, environmental studies, and religion.
Hello, my name is Lily Rose! I consider myself somewhere between an introvert and an extrovert; sometimes I am a quiet observer, and other times I am the spark that drives a conversation. My hometown is in central New Hampshire, an hour from Dartmouth College. I have grown up in a rural lifestyle where things like gardening, firewood, and hiking are a regular part of my life.
Other than my parents, I have a younger brother who likes to remind me that he is taller than me. My family also adopted an older rottweiler named Zoey; she is a sweetheart and I am missing her as well as my family at college. I have been athletic from a young age and really enjoy mountain biking, running, and skiing. I competed in sports from fourth grade through my senior year of high school.I was fortunate to attend a small private school from first through eighth grade, and this is where I was exposed to the concepts of service, respect, kindness, and responsibility, and I am thankful that those values permeated into me. At that school, I was immersed in discussion-based learning and encouraged to be intellectually curious, so my formative experience is why I am pursuing a liberal arts college education.
In addition to what sparked my academic interest, you may be curious about other relevant aspects of my life. Spirituality is a big part of my life; I attended a unitarian universalist church with my mother for years before developing an interest in a path that my father practices which is related to Sikhism and has been a large part of my life for the last four years. My artistic interests are singing, photography, drawing, and zentangle- look it up! My career goals are within the medical field with the reason being to help people improve their daily lives. However, with that said I am an open-minded person, and I am excited to choose courses that will prove to be the most insightful and rigorous for me.
After experiencing this Dartmouth winter term, I am ready to write an ode to this cold weather! Here is what a weekend in the Hanover winter feels like.
My first week back on campus– full of lots of hugs and an extensive amount of time spent making my Google calendar! Cold days and walking to classes after six weeks at home can be an adjustment, but my friends at Dartmouth make it all the more fun!
