Oberlin Blogs

I have reached the time of year when I need to kick it into high gear academically.

Patience with a sense of urgency.

Last summer, I had never watched a game of rugby, or seen a rugby ball, or heard the word “scrum” out loud in my entire life.

The best thing about Oberlin, I think, is that the communities you find for yourself here are, in many ways, up to you.

The track team is a family.

I am a student-athlete, not an athlete-student.

While having a busy schedule is sometimes overwhelming, self-reflection and making sure that I still want to commit to the things I’m doing help me manage and enjoy my time here.

As I prepared to go back to Oberlin for this fall semester, I was unsure about what practicing sports would look like in the middle of a pandemic.

While the loss of fall sports is a blow to my spirits, I am happy Oberlin College is stepping up.

Sports and the stock market.

In the darkest of times, communities show their true colors.

How did Oberlin do it?
