Reading, history, politics, nature, offbeat humor, acting, cats, and a warm cup of tea on a cold winter's day.
Hello there! My name is Meredith (she/her/hers) and I'm a sophomore at Oberlin. I'm from Pittsburgh, PA, home to Heinz ketchup and beautiful yellow bridges.
I recently declared as a History major and a CAST minor (I may throw another major/minor into the mix...we'll see). I love digging into the nuances, complexities, and contradictions in topics, and I am one of THOSE people who actually like writing academic papers.
Outside of class, you can catch me studying in Mudd (third floor = best floor) or the Science Library, visiting the adorable kittens at Ginkgo Gallery, or sitting on one of the swing chairs in Tappan. Here at Oberlin, I'm on the editorial board for the Two Groves Review, a member of the field hockey team, and an associate editor at the History Design Lab. I am also a Writing Associate Fellow at Oberlin's Writing Center (if you can't tell yet, I really love reading and writing). I hope you enjoy my blogs!
