Emily Humphreys ’21

The search for the greatest bathroom at Oberlin led me to the story of a smooth-talking criminal, tens of thousands of dollars of stolen books, and librarians who wouldn't rest until justice was served.

Sometimes a classroom has tables, chairs, and whiteboards, and other times it has red paint, four wheels, and impressive horsepower.

It took a fall afternoon and an impostor bumblebee to show me there’s more to campus than you might notice at first.

While learning from home these past few months has been challenging, the invitation my teachers provided to think about the pandemic through so many different lenses has truly helped me make sense of what is going on in my own life and also the world.

Living with someone else can be challenging, but sometimes it’s worth it.

A love letter to Oberlin's flowers.

This past week, as we prepared to head home in the face of a pandemic, Obies came together to support each other in some incredible ways.

♫ We are the Manti, no one can beat us! We play hard and wear Adidas! ♫

I didn’t realize I was living in my comfort zone until I finally stepped out of it.

Why dining co-ops are the apple of my pie.

I firmly believe Oberlin’s bathrooms are some of the most underrated spaces on campus. They have interesting design elements, great acoustics, and most importantly are downright useful.

I still think it’s remarkable that it's possible to take a leaf that I held in my hand, and get to a point where I can know the exact genetic sequence that lies deep in the nucleus of the plant cells.
