Hey everyone! I'm Cooper from Wayne, Pennsylvania, which is right outside of Philadelphia. I am a '28 here at Dartmouth, and plan on studying Quantitative Social Science and Cognitive Science. In my free time, I love getting food with friends, playing pickleball, watching sitcoms (personal favorite is Modern Family), and going on walks. I am super excited to be here and cannot wait to take you along my journey at Dartmouth!
I took this class with Professor Binkoski, and I absolutely loved it! We explored numerous theories regarding time travel and the existence of time, and it just completely blew my mind. Professor Binkoski is such an engaging lecturer and explains everything so thoroughly, which makes the class so incredible! After taking this class, I have become more interested in philosophy and cannot wait to take more classes in this department.
My Dartmouth winter has been such an incredible experience so far. From the late night hangouts in dorms to the annual snowball fight, I have fallen in love with winter term already! Let me tell you about the highlights of the first three weeks.
The Weather: You have probably heard by now that Dartmouth is quite cold. This is definitely true, but I have found that if you bundle up, it really is not that bad! This week we are experiencing pretty intense cold weather, so my friends and I have been sure to hang out inside as much as possible. Although the cold at times can definitely be hard, it does in fact force us to be inside more and hang out with friends, which I think is super important! In addition, I do have to note that when it is not snowing, it is typically very sunny here, which makes it feel warmer and makes the vibes on campus substantially better.
Snow in the town of Hanover!
Midnight Snowball Fight: This past Sunday night, there was heavy snow, which started to pile up quite quickly. After a few hours of snow, the entirety of Dartmouth received an email from Dr. Seuss himself, telling us to meet at the Green at midnight for a campus wide snowball fight. My friends and I were super excited for this iconic tradition, and got bundled up to walk there. Once we arrived at the Green, the snowball fight began, and it was simply so much fun. Getting to play around with friends and also just random people made the experience so incredible!

Winter term has been phenomenal so far, and I cannot believe it's moving so quickly!
Winter at Dartmouth has many special traditions, but my favorite winter activities so far have been the "little things": the random, spontaneous adventures Dartmouth students experience daily. Read to learn about my encounter with the "Winter S's"!
Oftentimes, life can be stressful. Though it's easy for me to feel anxious, I have found that identifying the things I am grateful for can be rather helpful. Read on to hear about what I appreciate.
Whether you're braving the cold on your way to class or participating in classic winter activities, there are plenty of ways to make the most of a Dartmouth winter!
I am a lucky member of the Dartmouth Decibelles, the oldest all-female acapella group on campus, and my first term with them was filled with so many fun moments.
