Here is what gets me through my day. 

Our small town has everything you could need.

It’s a very different Oberlin life from the one I’ve lived before now. But in many ways, it’s been a slower, calmer, and happier one.

Looking back, if there is one thing I could tell my giddy-to-go-to-college yet nervous self, it would be to relax, letting go of any preconceived notions of living in a small town.

I have a renewed appreciation for my surroundings and the green bubble that is Oberlin, Ohio.

Spring in Oberlin is really magical.

Every part of Oberlin has something that will amaze you.

Community, convenience, variety—there are lots of options.

The last post in a trio of various family perspectives on my life at Oberlin.

I happen to have a doppelgänger. Her name is Rosa, she is 17, and we share 50 percent of our DNA. Last weekend, she came to Oberlin. That’s right, my (taller) younger sister visited me to see my big girl college life.

Three concerts, one parade, a poetry slam, and a trampoline. 

Since my first semester at Oberlin, I’ve kept a long bucket list of all the things I want to do before I graduate. For the next few months, I’ll be sharing some entries from the list!
