Favorite Place

The Apollo Theatre. Watching Marvel movies the first night they came out with my friends and the Marvel fans at Oberlin has always been a wonderful experience.

Favorite Class

CSCI 385: Economics and Computation. This course provided me a different perspective to examine social systems in which strategic human beings interact. It helped me solidify what I want to pursue in graduate school.

Notable Quote

"The chief task in life is simple this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own ... " - Epictetus, Discourses, 2.5.4-5

Memorable Oberlin Moment

The night before fall break in my sophomore year, I sat with my friend by the Memorial Arch on Tappan. We talked and stargazed until 5am in the morning. The sky was clear, and there were so many shooting stars. I rested my head on her shoulder, and she leaned against me.
