I think coming here as I did, when I did, altered me more than I will ever grasp. I, too, find it difficult to speak to who or what I was on move-in day 4 years ago. But that&#8217;s okay. Thank you, Kenyon, you made me whole. </p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50710995638http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50710995638Sat, 18 May 2013 02:09:00 -0400kenyon collegegraduationfeelings“And I, infinitesima­l being, drunk with the great starry void, likeness, image of mystery, felt myself a pure part of the abyss, I wheeled with the stars, my heart broke loose on the wind.”<br/><br/> - <em>Pablo Neruda (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://stxxz.us/">stxxz</a>)</em>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50505306881http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50505306881Wed, 15 May 2013 13:17:40 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/0a70b89e60fc5277521f12246cc29876/tumblr_mma6r68t0E1qf6jy9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hollyhocksandtulips.tumblr.com/post/49599714829/hairdos-that-reflect-your-love-life-1944">hollyhocksandtulips</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong><em>Hairdos that reflect your love life, 1944</em></strong></p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359915663http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359915663Mon, 13 May 2013 15:44:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/cb484b3982b3308700f7241ae601405d/tumblr_mm5o21FyGM1qf6jy9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://theniftyfifties.tumblr.com/post/50235459082/books-film-music-internet-designer-fashion-clothes-shopp">theniftyfifties</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>Couples dancing in Van Nuys, California, 1959. </span><span>Photo by Yale Joel for Life magazine.</span></p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359812452http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359812452Mon, 13 May 2013 15:42:39 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/3cfe084b1001a42ce084b85cabbeb60e/tumblr_mhuugqlGfa1rv7amzo1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359788347http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359788347Mon, 13 May 2013 15:42:19 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8093e6486f02bc364eab87c7a6cfb8e3/tumblr_mfz31nCkpm1rhf41zo1_r1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hellolittledaisy.tumblr.com/post/49743735153/literally-the-best-advice-ever">hellolittledaisy</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>literally the best advice ever</p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359776440http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50359776440Mon, 13 May 2013 15:42:10 -0400<p><em>The first night of senior week coincided with the local high school prom and that seemed pretty fitting. </em></p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50341200958http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50341200958Mon, 13 May 2013 09:54:00 -0400a lot of camo tuxesand a lot of couple who think they'll always be togetherkenyon collegegraduation<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m82ul3VLDK1qfy2kdo1_r1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><em>Saturday night at the Cove. senior week amirite </em></p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50276011475http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50276011475Sun, 12 May 2013 14:32:00 -0400senior weekkenyon<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8641c98a5397a379499c1da754e5acee/tumblr_mmllm3wqvx1qz897no1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50275816157http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50275816157Sun, 12 May 2013 14:30:11 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b1323179c14f13d086d16c3999bb785c/tumblr_mj7aztUbOe1rav3clo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50275394858http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50275394858Sun, 12 May 2013 14:24:36 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/401f638b95d7cb9a98f31bdda874c2af/tumblr_mliq2a0i3r1rkyzs6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><em>BRING IT, BIG GIRL WORLD</em></p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50126373750http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50126373750Fri, 10 May 2013 20:33:56 -0400graduation<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/961e55049edf52c509876f94831a8167/tumblr_mjy8hwLxEw1r0320so1_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/6809387132b836bb435557e407b94cec/tumblr_mjy8hwLxEw1r0320so2_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/07af40c74c6053e2922e29f2289dbf20/tumblr_mjy8hwLxEw1r0320so3_400.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/89453a5276d2368da232799c4e507ce0/tumblr_mjy8hwLxEw1r0320so4_400.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50099804122http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50099804122Fri, 10 May 2013 13:49:30 -0400“If you are a white woman and you want to call yourself a feminist, you must acknowledge that your whiteness affords you a privilege that shields you from a lot. You must also acknowledge that you are afforded privileges that some men in this country do not have. Racism and sexism are tightly intertwined. You cannot fight one while ignoring the other.”<br/><br/> - <em>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://whallop.tumblr.com/">whallop</a>)</em>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50034091411http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/50034091411Thu, 09 May 2013 16:42:24 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c775ebdb031e1bb3ad072ddc21cb7769/tumblr_ml2hwbCXmP1qz7t0xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://eatsleepdraw.com/post/49420183979">eatsleepdraw</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://jasmineebrady.tumblr.com/">jebrady is on tumblr</a> xoxo</p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983711069http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983711069Wed, 08 May 2013 22:34:05 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9c76a40a1e2b6acc5b19db5cf5cec661/tumblr_mmfxuyACm91qf6jy9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hollyhocksandtulips.tumblr.com/post/49867625603/hermosa-beach-california-1954">hollyhocksandtulips</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Hermosa Beach, California, 1954</em></p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983611958http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983611958Wed, 08 May 2013 22:32:54 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lhs1cuNnuP1qzav3wo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>4evr & always </p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983575590http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49983575590Wed, 08 May 2013 22:32:28 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c9c7999c037ab0e8a78f0b9604b1fb42/tumblr_mmhz989IxL1qz6f9yo1_500.jpg"/><br/> ed fairburn<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5f3977e2ca1b9418b4a9d7ed33c97d63/tumblr_mmhz989IxL1qz6f9yo4_500.jpg"/><br/> ed fairburn<br/><br/> <img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4cb4fb77a72e1ee643b76a32661147fc/tumblr_mmhz989IxL1qz6f9yo2_500.jpg"/><br/> ed fairburn<br/><br/> <img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/02f19807f248eb4a56799c3918bb5aed/tumblr_mmhz989IxL1qz6f9yo3_500.jpg"/><br/> ed fairburn<br/><br/> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thisisnthappiness.com/post/49956273999/cartography">nevver</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/ed-fairburn-map-portraits">Cartography</a></p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49963456112http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49963456112Wed, 08 May 2013 18:23:13 -0400<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://wearyruler.tumblr.com/post/47993003338/thekingdomofben-i-dont-claim-to-understand">wearyruler</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thekingdomofben.tumblr.com/post/47991034658/i-dont-claim-to-understand-girls-but-im-fairly">thekingdomofben</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>I don’t claim to understand girls but I’m fairly sure they’re all up to something and need to be stopped</p> </blockquote> <p>This is the Republican party platform.</p> </blockquote>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49917948134http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49917948134Wed, 08 May 2013 02:08:53 -0400<iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F90968750&liking=false&sharing=false&origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>Mariah Carey f/ Miguel #Beautiful</strong></p> <p>ohhhhhHHHHHHHMMYYYYYYggaWSHHH Mariah bb y u gotta play w/my heart </p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49864698378http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49864698378Tue, 07 May 2013 13:32:00 -0400SoundCloudmariahcareyMariah CareyMiguelBeautiful<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/dae91cfddb79776644d5978fae42eaa3/tumblr_mmedksA7W81qcddvlo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://omgthatdress.tumblr.com/post/49853138907/dress-christian-lacroix-1988-the-los-angeles">omgthatdress</a>:</p> <blockquote> <div> <p>Dress</p> <p>Christian LaCroix, 1988</p> <p>The Los Angeles County Museum of Art</p> </div> </blockquote> <p><em><strong>a haiku</strong></em></p> <p>If I were a dress</p> <p>(Hot pink and far too much poof)</p> <p>I would be this dress </p>http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49863690272http://likeimdevastated.tumblr.com/post/49863690272Tue, 07 May 2013 13:14:00 -0400
