Oberlin Blogs

What I learned from talking to Oberlin alumni at Kendal Retirement Home.

An interview with my classmate Patrick Willems '10, creator of fine online films such as "What if Wes Anderson directed X-Men."

My third and final Winter Term project with Aimee Lee ('99) and "Papermaking and Book Art Across Culture and History."

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

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!

Note from Ma'ayan: following our first 5th cluster reunion in May 2014, I reached out to all the veteran bloggers who graduated in the classes of 2008, 2009, and 2010 to solicit "Where are they now?"

Everyone has an opinion and so do I.

"An honorable and a friendly memory"

Oberlin grad Nathaniel Mich '10 was on Food Network! We decided to celebrate with baked goods and a screening in Asia House.

I am learning to fully embrace my membership to an exclusive 40,000 person club.

It's application season, kids, so for some insight/inspiration, a peek at my Why Oberlin essay. Oberlin and I were just pieces of a puzzle that came together.
