It looks like spring has finally sprung here in Hanover. With warmer temperatures come two things: shorts and huge Dartmouth athletics home weekends. This past Saturday was one of those epic days where you can roll out of bed and go to games until you’re ready to get back into it. (Okay, we understand the first game was at noon, but lets be real, that’s when you roll out of bed, right?) These are the days Austin and I live for, right behind the day of the Granite League softball championship game and the final round of Masters.

I knew Dartmouth because of sports. I’m from Etna, 15 minutes east of campus — a townie, some would say. As the daughter of a sports reporter who covered the Big Green, I went to a lot of games. I mean, a lot of games. Now a senior and former Dartmouth athlete, I find myself reflecting on what it was like to grow up in the shadow of the College on the Hill.
