Bio 

Hi, I'm Youmi from China and Japan :) I'm intending to pursue a double major in CS and Philosophy. When I'm not coding or writing, you'll often catch me taking photos, exploring museums, and watching sunsets. My favorite activities at the moment include hanging out with friends in the Cube, cloud-watching on the Green, or reading in the Berry Library. I'm so excited to share all of Dartmouth's "people," "places," and "pines" with you through my blogs and photos!

      Favorite Class: WRIT 5: Understanding the Craft of Dramatic Writing

      Dartmouth offers a variety of different first-year writing classes across disciplines, but “Understanding the Craft of Dramatic Writing” caught my attention right away upon browsing the descriptions of all 32 classes offered this year. As an avid binge watcher of TV shows, movies, and short films, I couldn’t wait to explore my favorite pastime hobby in a classroom with peers. I also had the chance to explore theatrical plays, which is a literary medium that I’ve always wanted to explore but never had the opportunity or resources to. What I love the most, though, are the weekly check-in sessions led by Professor Carabastos — through these short life updates, our class formed a relationship beyond just being classmates. I’m so glad to have chosen this class!

      Favorite Class: SART 15: Drawing 1

      Dartmouth offers a wide range of unique classes, and this term, “Drawing 1” has been my favorite. Even though it’s not directly related to my academic interests, I’ve always been passionate about art but never had the opportunity to fully explore it before. This class has given me the chance to experiment with techniques and express myself creatively, but what I love most are the critique sessions. Hearing my classmates share their interpretations of the same drawing has been eye-opening—it’s fascinating to see how everyone’s perspective adds a new layer of meaning. The discussions have deepened my appreciation for art and made every class a rewarding experience.
