It's been over a week since the final performance of the Johnson Family Circus. I'm in an extraordinary position to continue reliving the show for days, weeks, even months after.

Interviews: What To Do (and What Not To Do)

One truly fantastic aspect of Oberlin and the surrounding area is that, small as it may be, there are always new corners of it to explore.

They have a velvet Last Supper hanging above the stairs leading to the exit. I'm serious.

No faculty recommendations, no interviews this time. It really couldn't have been easier. That is, unless we were on the same continent.
