Oberlin Blogs

Whenever I tell someone outside of Oberlin that I'm a Comparative American Studies major, they have no idea what it is. I like to describe it as the study of how one's experience in the United States differs based on the many facets of their identity.

In the very beginning of the semester, I barely raised my elbow off the table when I had something to say, and when I realized my professors weren't calling on me probably because they couldn't see my hand, I adopted a new philosophy for class participation.

In which we overshare about all the languages we have attempted to master...English still being one of them.

I may have declared my CS Major, but I remain committed to the broad liberal arts education that Oberlin is all about.

Somehow, it's already almost time to register my courses for next semester. Third time's the charm, right?

I would say my class choices for this semester are indicative of my decision to go the liberal arts route rather than the undergraduate film school route.

I can't believe I've never made a post about my classes, which make up a huge part of my Oberlin experience!

In a way, I'm glad I didn't get what I wanted right away last semester. I ended up getting to see more of Oberlin outside of my "expected" path.

It's been awhile since I walked you through a day or a week in the life. So let's do that! This is a particularly bustling one as the first weeks back are full of things to do, people to see, and the dreaded Add/Drop.

After a very busy semester, I learn that maybe I can't do it all.

If you plan on taking a language in college with the goal of at least conversational proficiency, congratulations!

The post in which I reveal that I have no idea why I'm a psych major.
