Your lovin’ was sweet on me baby

The past week was chock full of debauchery, savageness, and feelings of unrest. We said “k bye” to the Cove by destroying and looting it (send us pictures of your Cove memorabilia at thekenyonthrill@gmail.com). We said “hey bb” to the new Sendoff date. The whole campus seemed to be in a state of tumult. Here’s what some people thought of the weekend

Olivia Siulagi '14 and Cass Dempwolf '14 decorate their cove apartment with Cosmo magazine clippings

While not the most conventional example of apartment housing, Cass and Olivia showed me that this apartment above the Cove,  in spite of its rough exterior, has its own kind of charm.
