Oberlin Blogs

How one week in the middle of nowhere helped me understand 6th grade social studies.

Hello listeners! Welcome to part two of our talk with bass trombonist Israel Gutierrez.

I was excited to come to college for a plethora of reasons, but the thought of achieving my final form made me breathless with anticipation almost every day since I sent in my confirmation of acceptance.

"Disclaimers" sets the context for this open letter of sorts that captures elements of a relationship that stands the test of time among a variety of societal challenges, perceptions and misunderstandings.

I'm a bit of a conflicted mess. So is the activist scene here. So is life, I guess.
