Oberlin Blogs

Finally blogging again, I reflect on the process of becoming yourself; and how I’m coping with Senior anxiety.

One week ago today, I graduated Oberlin College. This is my last ever post on Oberlin Blogs.

This is the story of how months of event planning, entrepreneurship education, and trial and error shaped me into a stronger, bolder self.

The sky’s the limit.

I say my farewells with gratitude, not because everything was perfect, but because there’s nothing to really say goodbye to. These three years move forward with me like the soles of my shoes, as I step into the great big unknown.

As the semester came to an end, I began to consider what I was going to do after graduation.

“What comes next?” I cringe every time someone asks me some version of this question.

I graduated from Oberlin and I still can't believe it. This is a short letter to myself and a lot of "thank yous" to faculty and staff who changed my life at Oberlin. Thank you all so much.

Goodbye, Oberlin Blogs. I'll miss you.

And ultimately, end.

I spent the first week of November in Boston, touring Harvard Divinity School as a Diversity & Explorations program participant, and attending the school's first Black Religion, Spirituality, & Culture Conference. But wait, this is the blog platform I write for Oberlin, where does Harvard come in? This is the story about how Oberlin got me to Harvard. (Maybe.)

Working with so many talented, motivated, and engaging students felt extremely meaningful and reminded me that teaching is definitely something I want to continue doing in the future.
