The tenth annual Big Parade: an afternoon of relaxation, ingenuity, and stilts.

A highlight: the dessert contest, with categories such as hottest dessert, coldest dessert, and most fractal (largest surface area to volume ratio) dessert.

Excitingly enough, this year we purchased a second lion, so this year we were able to do really cool things like have the lions jump over one another. Plus, if you have more lions, everything just looks cooler.

Detailing the wide array of events that can happen on Oberlin's campus - within a single semester!

The fourth and final part of my four-part series on visiting Oberlin.

When we ambled around Tappan Square, I was the head of the lion, hearkening back to the first time I did the lion dance. My lovely friend who was the tail was also the person who danced with me that first time.

I would say today was a total success: lots of cool looking bikes, bike paraphernalia all over the place, and hundreds of enthusiastic people outside during one of the most pleasant days of September.

Oh, Oberlin. Making me have once-in-a-lifetime experiences twice.

If this entry had audio, it would definitely have me doing a KILLER Bill Cosby impression: "My WIFE Camille, with the Jell-O pudding pops..."

...far more memorable are the friendships and relationships built and established during high school and college.

Before college, I never danced. Now, I dance all the time. What could possibly be responsible for this 180° change‽
