It's a necessary step! I handled mine really badly! This is why!

Coming back to Oberlin and commencing senior year--it happened surprisingly fast.

Over the course of this post, a distraction from the tempest that is add-drop turned into a potential life lesson about quitting the things that make me unhappy.

At Oberlin we make stuff, things that last. This place is a factory of ideas, knowledge, art, and music. As it turns out, our annual output is actually quite impressive—and we are committed to sharing it freely with the world.

The final culmination of my Bay Area adventures, as well as the beginning of my final Oberlin adventures.

Thoughts on my human rights internship at People Against Suffering, Oppression and Poverty (PASSOP) in Cape Town, South Africa.

I have made an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I spend my money on. 81% goes to Oberlin and other necessities (airfare, textbooks, snowboots) and 11% to personal indulgences (goofy t-shirts, eating out). Is this a decent balance? I welcome your thoughts!

Orientation! It is so so soon. Also: look out for me! I'm going to be out and doing exciting things and you're definitely involved.

This is honestly not meant to scare you off; I'm just as excited about the beginning of the new school year as you are.

Broaching that scary subject of co-ed living. Fact: it was the greatest thing to ever happen to me.
