Oberlin Blogs

What does it mean to be able to locate yourself within academic work? Can you see yourself in the very spaces and fields that you learn about or is formalized learning an isolated process for you?

I had a great first week of school and it was because of all the positivity and love around me. So I got creative and wrote a post about loving the love around me and extending it further.

I didn't just bring tchotchkes back to Oberlin with me, I also brought some intangible things, new words, new experiences, and of course, lessons learned.

More importantly, I learned how to take care of myself and be comfortable being me, with all that that entails, and am ready to return to class and campus this Fall.

My summer in New York that included work, friends, family, and Beyonce.

A short list for first-time OSCAns, or anyone needing a quick refresher!

So I asked myself, when did I genuinely enjoy what I was doing? The answer: while studying sociology at Oberlin.

Summer discoveries from across the country.

Everything I learned about course registration (plus some additional advice from Obies who have been there, done that).

In the vast dark sea: a few bright fish.

All life is an adventure, and moving to a new city, building/finding a new community, and scrambling to make it in a uncertain field definitely qualifies.

My corner of the blogs is now an archive. Here's how to navigate it!
