In which I reflect on my first year at Oberlin.

In the past two weeks, I've been in the amazing OCircus! Spring Show, had finals, and had to say my goodbyes to friends.

My adjustment disorder was something unforeseeable, but the experience of overcoming it has only made me hardier and better experienced. More importantly, it gave me an incredibly powerful motivation to succeed in everything that I do.

In which we figure out what we're doing here.

Two months late, winter has finally arrived at Oberlin. Hopefully, the same can finally happen for season six of a certain show/book series...

In a way, I'm glad I didn't get what I wanted right away last semester. I ended up getting to see more of Oberlin outside of my "expected" path.

It isn't that I have a problem with sifting through things to find the gold, years and years of thrift shopping have given me the patience for that, it was just that well, everything was gold in this case.

Musings and meanderings about my mostly marvellous return to Oberlin.

Here's a reflection on my first semester of college, why it was rough, and how I came to see it as a true lesson in optimism.

Finals are really tough. This is how I got through them.

When it comes to being a college student and experiencing exhaustion, there is a lot of similarity across experience but general silence around what to (proactively) do about it. So let's talk!

This winter break, I had the wonderful opportunity of being able to host my fellow Oberlin friend, Jenny, from China.
