Julia Xu ’27

Hi! I'm Julia, and I'm a second-year at Oberlin majoring in Politics with a concentration in International Affairs. I'm from Cheshire, Connecticut (about a 5 minute walk from an apple orchard and a 7 minute drive to another), so the small town of Oberlin is not so unfamiliar to me.

You may see me in the library getting not that much work done (if I'm really trying to focus, I'll be in my room), at DeCafé filling my Oberlin tote with snacks and raspberries (specifically), or watching a horror movie with friends anywhere we can find a screen to hook a laptop up to. Aside from blogging, I'm involved in the Student Honor Committee, Students for a Free Palestine, and Moot Court. This year, I'm hoping to try some new things, like joining a co-op, taking some more ExCos (maybe teaching one?), and entertaining the possibility of theater. (Get it? Entertaining?)

If you see me on campus, around town, or even in class, please stop and say hi! (Don't let the fact that I'm wearing headphones deter you.) I love knowing that my words have reached someone and it always makes my day!
