Homecoming this year was a blast!!
It was an incredible experience-- being an upperclassman, getting to see the freshmen enjoy the bonfire initiation and their own excitement; and to see the alums from '69 or '78 come back to relive Homecoming. I remember being in the same position as the freshmen, a year ago.
This is when things will start to become exciting-- as the freshmen begin to acclimate to Dartmouth, their new home for the next four years.
I ran to the bonfire with three of my closest friends, and we huddled together in the cold, watching the freshmen run in circles.... I even caught a glimpse of a few seniors running beside the freshmen. As some enter, others leave.
It made me think that our time at Dartmouth is short, but should be well-lived.
