My Doppelgänger Comes to Visit
October 18, 2019
I happen to have a doppelgänger. Her name is Rosa, she is 17, and we share 50 percent of our DNA. Last weekend, she came to Oberlin. That’s right, my (taller) younger sister visited me to see my big girl college life.

Oberlin without (most of) the Obies
October 23, 2018
If you’re ever here when a lot of people aren’t here, take the time to examine the campus and the town.
