An Ode to Olin
Olin is my rock, my love, and occasionally, my mortal enemy. So just how did a library assume this complex role in my life?

In the real world, one thing affects another until it eventually comes full circle. That’s how the liberal arts curriculum teaches Kenyon students to think; learning is not about retaining information from a textbook and spitting it back out again, but rather realizing a subject’s real-life connections and applications.
When we think about off-campus study, we don’t usually think about domestic programs. We don’t necessarily think of the important issues happening beneath our feet and around the corner.
I’ve been thinking back on what I expected when I applied to Kenyon, and the ways those expectations have been exceeded since I’ve arrived in Gambier.
It’s always nice to have closure, be it with a person or with a class, and finals week has always seemed like a suitable goodbye for the semester.
