Hello readers! My name is Calley and I’m from Denver, Colorado. I began my Oberlin journey as a double degree student with a major in violin performance, but have since switched to the college. I have a deep love for history and writing, and genealogy and heritage are the water to my sea (all that I am and full of mysteries).
When I was twelve, I started to teach myself Chinese. At Oberlin this has flowered into an academic commitment, just like my lifelong passion for history. Traditionally my realm of interests has been centered on the humanities, but I’m curious about all things.
I hope you enjoy the blogs and read them often!
