Oberlin Blogs

When you miss meal hours in campus dining services, when your co-op cancels dinner, or when you need to treat yourself, sometimes you need to head out.

Talking about my icky feelings in a pretty personal blog post may not make for a fun read, but I hope I can shed some light on the realities of being a student here.

One of my favorite parts of Oberlin so far has been the huge variety of speakers that visit campus. I'm a big fan of lectures, and there are endless opportunities to attend them here!

Why living in the 'worst' First-Year dorm isn't as bad as you'd think...

A semester abroad is not a semester away from life--and that's okay.

I believe that my depression has shaped me into a different person, a stronger person. Depression is not a weakness, and I don't think enduring it is anything but a testament to your own strength.

As Oberlin prides itself on its activist history, today we used our agency as activists on this campus.

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

To some, declaring their major is a huge ordeal. For me, it was just signing a form.

We took time to reflect on how our lives have changed over the past few months. I've only recently begun to realize that my going to college was as big a deal for my parents as it was for me.

To me, the inside of Mudd feels like an ode to the joys (and maybe pains, but I'm not going to focus on that) of education and the process of forming one's own ideas.

Oberlin's recitals are hilarious, heartfelt, and keep me going when the semester gets busy.
