Milan's Senior Send-Off

Yesterday was Milan's Senior Send-off. The South Asian organization, cooked a homemade meal and spent about two hours just relaxing in each other's company.

With the delicious food and the wonderful company, it was an absolutely amazing break from studying!

However, it did make me contemplate the fact that freshman year is already coming to a close... and the thought just seemed unfathomable. I can't wait to see what sophomore year has in store for me!

Midnight Madness

Two days ago, in a spurt of craziness, our floor, McLane 2 decided to walk around campus.

We walked pass the Green on our way to Late Night Collis (a place to get really good food if you're studying) and saw that the sprinklers were on. In a split second, we all looked at each other and then immediately made our way to the sprinklers, running the entire way.

It was so simple, but sooo much fun. The best part? Seeing the faces of people at Collis when we all walked in dripping wet. Perhaps we'll repeat it tonight?

Culture Night!!

Culture Night this year is on May 23.

I'm one of two Culture Night Chairs, and I've been running around, fixing the script, holding rehearsals, and writing the program.

Although a lot of work, I'm glad to be involved in organizing Culture Night-- the South Asian culture-loving performance.

There'll be multiple dances by our Indian dance group, Vandana, and a performance by an all-male acapella group, Taal.

Our competitive dance group is also performing!! I'm looking forward to it!

The Dartmouth Wind Symphony

When I first came to Dartmouth, I made sure to apply for and audition for everything.

In high school, I had spent a considerable amount of time dedicated to band, and I decided that in college, I would expand my interests.

However, I made sure not to let go of my musical interest. I tried out for the Dartmouth Wind Symphony-- Dartmouth's premier winds only ensemble. And I have never regretted that decision.

Under the direction of Mr. Marsit, we have done things that one could only imagine. The kind of music that Mr. Marsit makes us play challenges and excites the ensemble.

Tonight, our performance includes music to the silent film "Pandora's Box", and while we play, the film will be playing behind us.

The music that we play never fails to bring shivers.

In addition to the great music we play, I also get to meet an absolutely amazing group of people. In fact, the DWS is where I met my future roommate Annie.

As I look into the future, I look forward to challenging myself and forming new relationships.

For 2014s who really enjoy music, consider this!

Listen to some of the music from our last concert:
