Oberlin Blogs

As my first semester at Oberlin comes to an end, I reflect on what advice I'd give to the next first-years.

What a Monday looked like for me this fall.

The stars aligned to make everything go wrong when I visited Oberlin during my senior year of high school.

Why choose between being a nerd and being a sports fanatic when you can be both?

Though I’m a bit late on the year-end lists, I loved reading about the books my fellow bloggers were excited about last year, and as a Cinema Studies student I thought it would be interesting to give an idea of what films I’ve watched for class this semester.

Follow me on a non-traditional path to a summer music festival.

Just doing my silly little dance.

Why this class is meaningful to me.

How I learned more about Winter Term and settled on my first project.

The many nooks and crannies of our room.

The science of running into people on campus.

No kidding, I think it's a luxury bordering on privilege to curl up and read a book for leisure in college.
