A great big lesson in Hi My Name Is College Now Stop Slacking. Alternatively, a great big welcome to Oberlin.

I am proof that not all liberal arts college students get everywhere by bike. Now I am finally learning how to ride one.

All about Long Distance Relationships! With visual aids from animal friends and medical anomalies! Also, some kind of sobering words about your prospects for success! YAY!!!!

Part II in my little pearls-of-wisdom series. Thanks again to everyone who contributed. Enjoy!

To the Class of 2015: a list of minor and not-so-minor regrets I have that I hope you won't. (It's really not that bad, and you'll survive perfectly well even if you completely ignore this list.) Love, Christine.

To be fair to my parents, they did tell me most of this, but it was easy to dismiss their experiences as being far removed from my own. As your peer, I hope that this will be useful to you and will help you to put yourself in the right frame of mind for what you should expect come September, without feeling overwhelmed.

In Oberlin, I think professors are kinda like celebrities. And these are the ones I go goo-goo eyed over.

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