Oberlin Blogs

In this post: freshman rituals, changed names, sneaking out of windows, newspapers, The Review security notebook, and much, much more!

If I know anything about Oberlin freshmen, you're not too preoccupied worrying about what to pack and what classes you want to take to worry about other activities at Oberlin.

Helena's back from her blogging hiatus with a post about a lot of things, but most of all: food (with pictures)!

The photo-illustrated "do"s and "don't"s of packing for Oberlin. Hints: no cats, no grout, and no prom dresses.

With this Oberlin story (with penguins!) in my possession, I had to share it with everyone. I put out an all-call on Twitter and Facebook whenever I was sitting in the library working and knew that people needed a distraction.

Including, but not limited to: ramen, canned soup, graham crackers, apple sauce, bread making materials, peanut butter and honey, cereal, rice, and assorted pastas.

From job hunting to house hunting to cheap cultural activity hunting, I don't think I'm in Kansas (or Oberlin) anymore.

Oberlin: a perfect 10 for the life of the mind.

Oh, Oberlin. Making me have once-in-a-lifetime experiences twice.
