Harris Lapiroff '10 | Here are the highlights of my Great Pacific Northwestern Adventure. But, Harris, you say, shouldn't you write about Oberlin, instead of the completely unrelated Pacific Northwest? All in good time, I assure you. All in good time.

Marsha Lynn Bragg | Fall is my favorite time of year for all the obvious reasons: the abundance of dynamic colors, variations in outside temperature--not too hot and not so cold. I consider fall the in-between season.

not live here either; and why Barnardians aren't allowed microwaves in their rooms.

Tess Yanisch '13 | This is a stream-of-consciousness diary-type sampling. It's odd, writing sort of for an audience.

Will Mason '10 | Two more years until I graduate. (Well, three more semesters to be precise, but either way I'm over the hump.) Good thing? Bad thing? There's a saying I've heard a couple of times up in central Maine that I love: "Tough tellin', not knowin'." But I'm enjoying the ride more and more every day. Ayuh.

Jesse Hernandez, Admissions | In a world of social networking and web 2.0, how can colleges best stay in contact with and answer your questions? Should we even have a presence on such websites? I ask your opinion.

Megan Emberton '12 | Yesterday, I would have laughed heartily and bitterly at the suggestion of updating my poor, neglected blog.
posted by
Yitka Winn '09 | I'm pretty sure I can directly trace my penchant for list-making to the beginning of college. Something about Oberlin has not only forced me to develop stellar time management skills (which, okay, has gone hand in hand with fine-tuning my procrastination abilities) but has also inspired me to think, dream, and plan big.

Aries Indenbaum '09 | "Bloggers don't have to be introspective," I protested. She put her hands up, "It's not a bad thing. You just... might want to think about stuff. Sometimes. You don't have to, but it's good. Sometimes."

Yitka Winn '09 | As fun as the leprechaun cookies and green jello shots were, the best aspect of the day, for me, was the mass of adorable little kids running around. Little kids - much like pets, parents, and well-stocked refrigerators - are something you miss out on when you're away at college...

Prof. Steve Volk | There's much to be said about adverse conditions, turmoil, and challenges. They have a way of cutting right across a number of boundaries which previously seemed unalterable.

Chris Gollmar '10 | A couple days ago, I decided that I would take advantage of all of the free time I have on my hands and set out to Tigre, a city located in the delta of the Paraná River, a half-hour train ride from downtown Buenos Aires. I got lost exploring the island, but it was worth it.

Daniel Tam-Claiborne '09 | Over this past weekend, I decided to make a trip out to Tufts University in Medford, MA to see a group of friends perform in a Burlesque Troupe that they helped to found on campus. Little did I know that I would get the added bonus of recreating the lore of my junior year college trips.
