#light academism

The semester has been so busy! Sorry I’m so slow with posts! I got into the Advanced Honors College this week, and started making my schedule for next semester so there’s a light at the end of the tunnel at least.
Some of my favorite fashion history notes this semester :)

Sorry for being so inactive! I got elected to residence hall council this semester and joined the debate team so that’s all eating my time up. A lot of my class work is writing this semester so I’m really enjoying it.
How are your class going so far?
Take care of yourselves!
•Van Gogh’s flowers•
We have found out forever
That blood smells only of blood.
How slow life seems to me,
How violent the hope of love can be.
It should be enough.
To make something beautiful should be enough.
It isn’t.
It should be.
I- so imperfect, so weak,
So unbelievably lonely.
I had a very childlike rage
And a very childlike loneliness.
And if the devil was ever to see you,
He’d kiss your eyes and repent.
Ocean Vuong, “On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous”
There has always, and will always, be beauty in the unconventional.
“But in the end, stories are about one person saying to another: This is the way it feels to me. Can you understand what I’m saying? Does it feel this way to you?”
Kazuo Ishiguro, in his Nobel Prize (2017) acceptance speech
The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.
-Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Brothers Karamazov
“While I was still in Amsterdam, I dreamed about my mother for the first time in years.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
