Oberlin Blogs

In trying to become a more informed individual, I have given myself rather a lot of work, and I need an hour and half of time just to absorb all the media. I honestly don't mind getting up at seven.

I love to make lists. My room is covered in them. Now my blog is too--a giant list of things to do before I graduate!

Like all the rest of the seniors, I have turned in my application to graduate. But, unlike most, I didn't check the box that says "May 2013." I'll be graduating in January.

...and we're swamped. happy first week of class!

Don't try to be good at everything. Try something totally un-you.

Coming back to Oberlin and commencing senior year--it happened surprisingly fast.

I have made an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I spend my money on. 81% goes to Oberlin and other necessities (airfare, textbooks, snowboots) and 11% to personal indulgences (goofy t-shirts, eating out). Is this a decent balance? I welcome your thoughts!

And why you should forget them.

I'm a Bay Area 501(c)(3) intern. Haay.

Remember, the cardinal rule of politeness is to make the other person comfortable. In some situations, this calls for dressing up and shaking hands. In others, it consists of yelling and backslapping. Among Klingons, you say whatever's on your mind and be prepared to back up your words in battle if necessary. And so on.

I actually have no idea where I am, this plane doesn't have those little TVs with the electronic map. What other states are in the central US? Kansas?

May 21st through May 28th, a retelling.
