Oberlin Blogs

Yeah, that title is a Replacements album. I thought it would make a great title for this post, which is a more detailed, list-y description of myself.

Explanation: I showed up at a bloggers' meeting without my computer, but with my camera. I was going to chat for a bit and then go, but Ma'ayan pointed out that there was a chalkboard in the room and challenged me to tell a story in nothing but photos. This is the result.

Orientating as a second-year, including pizza socials and all the classes. Well, all of mine, anyway. Apply to write about yours yourself!

The class of 2015 made us such awesome videos demonstrating their enthusiasm for Oberlin. Watch them!

My final farewell...

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more."

There's no place like home...

These are a few of my favorite things...

I've just had one of the most thrilling weekends of my life. And no, it's not because Ajax, my Amsterdam soccer team, won the Dutch league on Sunday (although that was pretty cool). I got to hand a $100,000 Human Rights Award to the Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón.

Brandi recently posted an inquiry on her facebook status: "Oberfriends: If you had less than 60 seconds to express how awesome Oberlin is to someone who knows next to nothing about this place, what/how would you do it?" I visited her earlier that day, and she asked me the same question.

I tried on the chocolatier's life for size over break, and decided the scholar's life suited me better. Not that it wasn't fun.

Proof of my not-so-secret theory that Oberlin is slowly taking over the world.
