If I know anything about Oberlin freshmen, you're not too preoccupied worrying about what to pack and what classes you want to take to worry about other activities at Oberlin.
No Regrets
My goal was to graduate without any lingering "I should have done X, Y and Z!" I (almost) succeeded.Reflecting, learning, laboring
