It’s much more difficult to leave than I thought it would be. I’m having a really hard time with this. I’ve never even referred to my parents house as my home. It’s harder knowing I won’t be back in the fall, even with the promise of returning in the spring. Citing reasons here would only undermine them.
I am so humbled by this experience.
Sarah Lawrence represent. Making waves and demanding change throughout history!
My boyfriend saw this on the cover of “Interest Group Politics” by Allan Cigler.
but I found it at Sarah Lawrence…. I know the school term is coming to an end but I want to keep going. I want more assignments and classes.
Fine, I’ll go to my parents house but ONLY IF I get to see my food and agriculture professor twice a week.

Tomorrow night! Come hang out LLNNYY and hear some street art real talk at Sarah Lawrence College
Street Art Talks
Guest lectures by LNY (street artist) and Carlo McCormick (Senior Editor of Paper magazine)
“Street Art & the Law: a shared common space” by LNY
“LNY” is a street artist living in the city of Newark, NJ, and one of the organizers of the Young New Yorkers program: an arts-based restorative justice program for 16 -17 year olds who are recognized as “adults” in New York State’s criminal justice system. The project’s main goal is to reconsider the psychological and social implications of state mandated punishments and their efficacy deterring crimes. By painting or wheatpasting portraits of culturally defined people in public spaces across the world, LNY’s art investigates the boundaries of one society from another as well as the visibility of disenfranchised voices. The legality of his work juxtaposed with magnificent aesthetics challenges terms like “vandalism” and questions the value of public murals.
Join us for a talk by LNY about street art, the law and art’s place in society.
This Thursday, May 2nd @ 7pm in the library pillow room, followed by a reception with refreshments.
“The Origins of Street Art” by Carlo McCormick
Senior Editor of Paper magazine, culture critic and curator, Carlo McCormick, will speak about the origins of street art in graffiti, propaganda, public protest, performance art, avant-garde practice and urban interventions.
Carlo has written for Spin, Vice, Juxtapoz, Art in America, High Times, Art News and Artforum. He is a co-author of the street art seminal Trespass and has curated such projects as The Boneyard Project, which had street artists paint scrapped military planes.
Wednesday, May 8th @ 5pm-6pm in Heimbold 135, followed by a reception with refreshments.

Answer:
Congratulations! Don’t be scared! This place is absolutely wonderful. Sure, I’ll give you a couple pros and cons. I don’t know what kind of person you are so some of the things I like might be things you hate & vice versa.
If you’re wondering if this is happening in a school library, the answer is yes.
Professors used to have sex with the students when it used to be an all girls’ college. This is blowing my mind. Interview here.
My school just notified me that there will be a “Sleaze Week Porn Marathon” in the library next week. Learning is power!

Zero complaints about the food at my school om nom nom ^_^ As a food-skeptic vegetarian who has never understood cuisine-porn, this feels important.
Me: “Is this a men’s or women’s bathroom?”
Kieran: “This is Sarah Lawrence. Gender is a spectrum.”
When kids at Sarah Lawrence College vandalize a bathroom stall, they get really fucking rebellious.
So busy this week.
Today I’m touring Sarah Lawrence College then heading into the city to interview the illusive COST. It’s an honor that he agreed to speak with me since he’s known for being quite secretive. Perhaps after that I’ll be stopping by LNY’s Young New Yorkers event.
Tomorrow I’m starting one of my increasing number of non-paying jobs, working an exhibit in the Academy of Natural Sciences. I will be in the visually stunning Bicentennial exhibit. Let me drop some knowledge on you among specimen jars, pinned birds and butterflies, skeletons and the curiosities of the natural world.
Wednesday I’m at Paradigm Gallery. Friday I’m at Overkill Studio helping Thomas Buildmore work their First Friday show. Buildmore has a dope outlook on the Philly art scene/street scene. Can’t wait to pick his brain on the direction he thinks Philly is going. Friday is also the deadline for choosing the school I’ll be at next year.
