Many of my favorite moments from Oberlin came from being a part of such amazing communities on campus. Ive made some of my closest friends through my acapella group, Nothing But Treble, the CLEAR community as an OWL, the semesters I spent dining in Pyle coop, and the labs I worked in in the (Bio)Chemistry department. Im so grateful for all of the opportunities, friends, and mentors Ive had at Oberlin, and while I will miss them all, Im confident that I will take what Ive learned from each of them to wherever I go moving forward.

One of my favorite places in Oberlin was the Parsons lab located on the third floor of the science center. It was a spot that was somewhat secluded from the rest of campus, but it served as a sort of unspoken meeting place for some of my closest friends who also worked in the lab.

I will never forget this time when I was studying in Mudd 3rd floor with one of my best friends, and we decided to take a dance break. We were dancing on the cushioned chairs in Mudd, but not knowing the cushions were not attached to the chairs, I silently fell in slow motion with Tempo by Lizzo playing softly in the background.
