Oberlin Blogs

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

We may not wear our Oberlin pride as sleeve tattoos, but we will drape them on our torsos in a wide array of colors and designs.

An attempt to collect my own personal (and your!) Oberanthems. Full of music and playlists!

I'm celebrating my 100th blog post on the Oberlin blogs, which includes a FABULOUS CONTEST with a sweet prize.

Your parents aren't lying, college IS the bee's knees and all that. I'm just making sure you start it off right, okay!?

The class of 2015 made us such awesome videos demonstrating their enthusiasm for Oberlin. Watch them!

Yes, college is expensive, but you have some control over how expensive.

Several people have blogged about their journeys to Oberlin. I've decided to add myself to this ever-growing list. Partly because my journey was not what some of you might expect and partly because I've avoided telling this story in its entirety for far too long.

"When did you come home?" she asked. "When I say home I mean back to Oberlin." And I thought, yes, it is in fact home.

In which I attempt to share my glorious friends with the world.

In which I embrace my future as a possible spoon player in a bluegrass band (though it's still more likely that I will be a teacher).

I always enjoy hearing Oberlin mentioned in the news, even the fake news, but I was particularly pleased with this Daily Show moment.
