![]() ![]() Ohh, the beloved Christmas sweater! Many of us cannot resist the cheeky, merry call of “quirky” pullovers and cardigans, and as a result, our wardrobe becomes adorned with designs like snowpeople and snowflakes, dancing reindeer, candy canes and other festive fashions.

So why not finish 2023 on a strong and stylish note with this bright and delightfully fresh pink scrapbook album! Well, we’re doing all of that, literally, with the planned-out, project-making performance called the December Completed Album Challenge! As an artist, I decided to draw mine, challenging myself to experiment with a different artstyle.January is almost here - eeek! Many of us want to end the year feeling accomplished and excited for what’s next - to wrap things up nicely, “close the books” and start fresh. ![]() My favorite part, however, was when we had to create a self-portrait -whatever that meant to us. We took a good look at the Orozco murals in Baker-Berry Library, visited the Hood Museum to see artworks by artist Kevin Monkman, and wrote some short essays about our own culture. In Culture, Identity, and Belonging (CIB), we really took the time to examine Dartmouth's culture throughout time. We even got to engrave said marble machine using tools from Dartmouth's Makerspace Studio. In STEM, we covered basic biology concepts through growing our own basil plants, coded a weather app with Python, and built our own marble machine. In College Knowledge, we learned how to take good notes and study effectively from a staff member at the Academic Skills Center, as well as upperclassmen. By the end of my first week on campus, I was taking mock college courses, and I knew my way to FoCo (mostly) without looking at a map! There were 3 classes, all of which we had to take. Turns out, I would quickly be acclimated to campus and college life. ![]() I wanted nothing more than to go to sleep, but I was determined to make the best of the situation and got to know people who would become some of my closest friends today. Of course, there was a FYSEP group meeting that evening, along with several icebreaker activities. I was exhausted, did not know my way around campus, and was stressed from settling in and unpacking. My first day on campus, which was Saturday, August 5, 2023, was hectic. It might seem silly, but having never visited Dartmouth in person before, I wanted to be able to say that I did in fact visit campus before "move-in day" (late August for most first-years). When I found out that I would be moving into campus a month before most first-years, I jumped at the opportunity. FYSEP is a pre-orientation program for FGLI first-years at Dartmouth. On Thursday, at 1:53 pm EST, I received an email inviting me to the First Year Student Enrichment Program, otherwise known as FYSEP. ![]() As someone who prefers warmer weather, I can't help but look back at my time on campus earlier this summer. It's cold - colder than what I'm used to. As of the moment I am writing this blog post, I am sitting in Dartmouth's main dining hall, which we call FoCo, looking out the window. ![]()
